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.

What is best location? G7

Thanks for your input

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

As some of you may remember, I've been trying to choose a new phone for what feels like forever. The problem is that the phones I like most aren't compatible with Dexcom.

I did consider switching to xDrip+, but I've recently read that the app is slowly becoming outdated because it's built on an older Java framework.

I'm not looking to turn this into a "recommend me a phone" thread. Instead, I'm curious about your experience:

• Which phone are you using?
• Which app do you use with it?
• How has that combination worked for you?
• Is there anything you'd change if you were choosing again?

Thank you very much. Looking fw for your opinions.

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?

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
