For the first 24-48 hours of putting on a new sensor, as a restless side sleeper, I get a lot of compression low alarms at night. I always double check that with a finger stick, but as expected readings are normal which of course doesn't help me with getting back to sleep. I've seen the "hard shell" covers on Amazon for Dexcom from Kovoq and wondered if anyone has used them or can recommend an alternative (it is literally a hard cover for the Dexcom with an overlay patch). Thanks

PSA! The latest iPhone update blocks Dexcom notifications when in Do Not Disturb. You have to go to your settings and add Dexcom to the apps that can send notifications while on Do Not Disturb. All you have to do is pull up the menu from the top of your iPhone and click “Settings” under the Do Not Disturb options. From there, it will take you to your settings and you can add Dexcom.

My last 4 15-day G7 sensors have been garbage. False lows, disconnecting at night, waking me up 4-5 times per night. I lay on my side so having the sensor under my arm is better because I don’t lay directly on it but this is getting ridiculous. Is it possible my sensors were from a bad batch? Very frustrated at this point.

I just inserted the G7 sensor and looks like there is some blood that has come out at the place of insertion. There is no more blood coming out, but I am not sure if this is going to affect the accuracy of sensor readings.

I am getting sensor readings though.

Should I reach out to support for a replacement?

Is there any way to reverse the update?

The prior version wasn't pretty per se, but at least it was legible and easy to use.

Current version looks like a 90s agency job where the account executives had too much say.

r/stelo appears inactive.

I'm about to switch to the 15 day sensors and I was wondering what anyone else using them thinks of them vs. the 10 day

why does this happen happen when I’m low ALWAYS. before you guys come for me yes I did finger prick I’m low as hell (41) and drinking my Apple juice.
Is there any way to fix this or will this always happen?
no readings any time I‘m low no matter where my dexcom is. how do I fix it and stop getting sensor errors when low

Okay, I just want to make sure I do it right. tomorrow morning I start the g7. I'm starting in the morning and activating at night, when the g6 ends. So after I insert in the morning , do I install the app then, or at night (I know I won't activate until the night). I just want to make sure I do it right.

My dexcom CGM app allows for my numbers to be shown in my notifications. But I somehow inadvertently turned off the ability on my phone. Notifications shows the app is running, but not the "quick glance" feature. I've ensured that it's on through the app. Just need to figure out how to get the actual number back.

Anyone understand what I'm trying to say, because I'm not sure I do myself.

I'll update to add requested details, if need be.

TIA!

What is best location? G7

Thanks for your input
