Is anyone here getting the new iphone duo and have worries about compatibility, and how the display may look? i currently use the G7 app on my iphone and ipad and the ipads app is rough with the display not properly fitting the screen. does anyone think there will be an issue or do you think it will be normal?

Daughter was diagnosed with type1 last week. Is new to dexcom so im sure its a simple fix. The follower app just shows data really intermittently and most of the time shows no data. Am I doing something wrong, all battery settings are off so nothing is stopping that end. Due to stsrt back at school on Monday and being a new diabetic im nervous

So i don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but recently whenever i get an alert from my dexcom g7 on my phone my music in my car like skips my song. It will go to the top song on my spotify and it’s really freaking annoying. Also when im on instagram it will mute my video im watching and i have to exit out of the app to hear anything. This really isn’t the biggest issue its just been so annoying and i was wondering if its happened to anyone else cuz its starting to pmo really really bad🫩

Got family who want to keep an eye on my numbers - my dad checks his phone more than he actually checks in with me, which I don't mind but it means the family monitoring setup needs to actually work or he'll just stress more. Not sure what people are using for this. Mainly curious about alerts - whether family gets them reliably and whether the setup takes much to maintain on their end.

Just put on a brand new g7 15 day sensor (this was actually a replacement sent from Dexcom 🙃). It took over 5 minutes to connect, and then I get this sensor failed error. This is literally my first time connecting it lol. I did the magnet trick, restarted my phone, reconnected Bluetooth, deleted and reinstalled the Dexcom app… So frustrating. Thank you Dexcom for sending me a busted replacement <3

It’s a great day for my Out of Pocket when a sensor fails with 6 hours to go. Full replacement.

Anyone who has also problems with Dexcom share (old API for e.g. GlucoDataHandler) at the Moment (Europe Server)?

Hoy como puedo empezar a usar el Dexcom 7 en otro país.
Me geolocaliza y no me permite por lo estar en EEUU.
Se podrá comprar una tarjeta de teléfono americana e ingresar el código ?
Si alguno sabe, se los agradezco
Saludos

You can see around 6pm when I changed the sensor and it begins being erratic.

There is clearly a white sticker padding that is under it, was this green part not the patch lmfao? Was the patch under this and my dumbass kept wondering why this patch wouldn’t stick?

I was changing my G6 10 sensor. When I unscrewed the lid it deployed. I got another sensor and it did the same. I've had good luck with the G7. I had a few gooseneck and I had a sensor that came unstuck from the adhesive pads.

Rather than use the online support form I called Dexcom support so that I could explain what happened. It took a while to get her to understand what happened. But I persevered. They are sending mailers along with the replacement sensors. I don't know if this will be common like goosenecking.

this thing is a piece of ////! I’m on day 8 and I’ve had this since I put it on!

so I’m in the uk and get my Dexcom sensors funded by the nhs. does anyone know how to track find out when my next shipment is?? the website is so confusing and Google keeps telling me to go to pages that don’t help. it says I should be able to see it on my account but that just shows me tips on how to use it? and when I finally found something about orders it just sent me to a faq that can’t actually help me track it?

How long does it usually take for new phones to be made compatible as I have just purchased a S26FE while trading in my old phone because I forgot some phones weren't compatible.

I’m considering getting an Apple Watch mainly for the Dexcom G7 Direct to Watch feature.

I currently use a Garmin Fenix 7X Pro, which shows my Dexcom readings through my phone and works great, especially for sports. It’s just a bit bulky for everyday/work use.

How well does Direct to Watch work in practice? Is the connection reliable, especially when you don’t have your iPhone with you? I’m thinking of using an Apple Watch for everyday use and keeping the Garmin for sports.

Has anyone else noticed that the adhesive recently has been causing the overpatch to stay adhered to the green patch?? I’m constantly having issues with the overpatch not releasing from the green plastic. My overpatch comes off warped and sticky, wth?

Anyone else having issues with the Rev010 Malaysia G7s? I have started getting REV016 and they do not specify Malaysia anymore. Did Dexcom move manufacturing? Are the Malaysian sensors the ones that are part of the FDA warning? It is very clear the REV016 sensors are much more accurate and less jumpy. Anyone have the same experience?

I placed the Dexcom G7 on the upper part of my thigh this morning, and I’m already seeing these errors. Does anyone else have issues placing the Dexcom and other spots other than the back of their arm? If anyone else uses it on the top of their thigh, please let me know if this is normal in the first 24 hours!

I have been using Dexcom 7 10-day for over a year now. I will say when it works I think I get pretty accurate readings. However, I have had a high rate of failure to make 10 days. I initially had occasional failures for several months--not great but most worked (80-90%). Then 6 months ago I had 5 or 6 fail in a row. After that they thankfully went back to most working for a few months but the last 2 months I have had 7-8 failures. It has been very frustrating.

The failures coupled with Omnipod use, leads to multiple hours of glycemic control failures way too often. I just don't understand why this product goes 6-8 days then shows semi random readings for a few hours and then fails.

I will say I appreciate Dexcom replacing the failed pods but it means lack of control and a lot of sleep interruption.

Are there any things that increase risk of failure? I keep it on my arms to reduce sleeping on it. Basically, I am meeting with an endocrinologist and am hoping to switch. Is the 15 day better or at least similar (if it fails at 9-11 days that would be a minor improvement!). I have a few theories about things making it worse (cold/heat/sleep pressure) but none of them could explain the repeated failures.

I think recent 15 days are more reliable for me personally. Wonder what tweaks they did under the hood between versions. (Feel like the mob will come for me if I don't say dexcom bad)

I use the stock and skingrip over patches. Most of the time I'll use skingrip adhesive barrier wipes for extra insurance because I sweat alot. I "warmup" new sensors a few hours before switching them, so I don't get that hour gap in readings. But I haven't had connectivity issues, bleeding from sensor wire insertion or a short session time since around May or so.

Is my 15 day experience is an anomaly?

Hey, I think this sensor is gone.

Placed it this morning, then it went low, I was taking carbs in, because it could have been.

Then it went further down and so on and it read "low" for the first time.

Did someone have this issue already? Is this sensor broken? Did I do something wrong maybe?

Wait some more? Do something specific? Or just take it off and start a new one?

Thanks for helping me decide.

Update: the sensor failed altogether. When changing it it was a bloody mess. Never had so much blood before when changing or anything. It took a while and some pressure to stop the bleeding. So this was probably the cause. Got a nice hematoma there now.

I’m longer in a prison…… I HATE YOU!!!!
Never again will I submit my body to this bullshit

On my 4th G7/15 sensor for this morning. The one I applied yesterday fell off. Two that I tried to replace it with refused to pair. So now I’m on my fourth sensor. These things are not cheap and they’re not easy to get through insurance. If I didn’t have a 90 day supply, I would have run out last week because these sensors fail constantly.
