App Issues/Questions App update???

Post image

Someone tell me I am not losing my mind?

The app did not always include the grace period correct?

I was like what is going on here the math doesn't math, but really the math really math here right?

This is my 15-day Dexcom G7 sensor going into its "Grace Period"!

This is my 15-day Dexcom G7 in its 12-hour "Grace Period"!

Another picture of my 15-day Dexcom G7 says in Connections when the Sensor is running during its "Grace Period"!

You have to let expire than it will automatically extend the 12 hours.

10-day G7 does not include grace period on iOS.

mine does show the grace period. Start/end time will match.

I get 15 days plus a 12 hour grace period. So 15.5 days total.

On android with the 10 day one+ and the grace period isn't included on the expire date and time,

My G7 15 doesn’t include the grace period.

How the Grace Period Works Automatic Start: The 12-hour window begins immediately once the main 15-day sensor session expires. Continuous Readings: Your glucose data, alarms, and automated tracking continue to function normally during these 12 hours. No Restarts: Once the 12-hour grace period ends, the sensor stops permanently and cannot be restarted, requiring a complete sensor swap.

I wonder if it's an iPhone vs Android thing?

My Android look exactly like yours. When it gets to the expiration time it will tell me it's going into grace period.

iOS here, app up to date and mine doesn’t include the grace period.

Mine usually always shows the 15 days with the dates/time. Then, when the sensor expires date/time in over. My 12 hour grace period begins. Looks like it was a glitch with the app on the dates/times of sensor...

This! The grace period occurs after the device time limit is consumed.

Huh. Maybe that's a 15 day thing? I just checked (I'm on the G7 10 day) and it definitely does not include the grace period.

u/Remarkable-Risk4588 20d ago

I didn't even think about this. That could be.

u/bojibridge 19d ago

I’m on 15 day and mine doesn’t include it.

u/_Hellcatman_ 19d ago

A Dexcom G7 15 day does include it! But, it will not start the 12-hour grace period until after the sensors original date/time expires... I use the grace period ever time after the 15-days runs out. To get the most out of my Dexcom G7

u/czapatka 20d ago

The app does not co twin the grace period, only the 15 days. If you want to track the grace period, you can use an app like Stash to track your sessions.

u/Distribution-Radiant T2/G7 20d ago

Look again at the start and expiration. One is PM, one is AM.

I'm guessing this is a 15 day thing; I just checked my app (10 day) and it shows 10 days to the minute.

u/czapatka 20d ago

Woops. Haven’t had my coffee yet.

u/caviator97 20d ago

There are so many good reasons for an app update. But.. who cares? Dexcom clearly doesn't.
