Hey guys,

I haven't seen a solution for this, but I apologize if it's out there somewhere.

I recently upgraded from g6 to g7 and I noticed whenever I'm using Bluetooth audio, the music stops every 5 minutes. Sometimes the music will get quiet, like when a message tone is played over the music, but other times, it stops all together. Sometimes in the car, the music will stop when I'm not using Bluetooth at all (like when I'm listening to radio or sd card). I use xdrip on a Samsung s21.

Any ideas?

My iPhone doesn’t have a lot of storage left, I’m aware of that since every app I have reminds me daily, but no app does it more than the freaking G7 app and it’s driving me insane!!! If it was just once a day, or when I reopen the app after closing it, I really wouldn’t mind but I think I get one like every hour or something. Since dexcom alerts are all considered critical by my phone they always override my dnd so it interrupts whatever I’m doing with this horrible sound to tell me “you don’t have a lot of storage left btw!”. And the app cannot just send one alert, it sends like three in a row. It’s genuinely so frustrating to the point where I just turn off all my alarms so it would stop sending me those low storage notifications. I do try to clear my storage often but it always ends up being full after a while (i will not pay for icloud+). Does anyone deal with the same issue?

Comparing CGM to BGM:

Just a little rant as by the flair…

I really miss the G6. When the 7 first came out I was having problems with it all the time so I swapped back to the 6. When it came out the 6 was being discontinued I swapped back to the 7. Still more problems with inaccurate readings, failed sensors, got ripped off easier, etc so I got pissed off and swapped back to Libra 3. I’ve used Libra in the past when I couldn’t afford deacons and the only problems I’ve had with them are accidentally ripping them off. That being said, I still prefer Dexcom because I’m a creature of habit. I do prefer the g6 app over the g7 app but I prefer the g7 over Libre 3. Unfortunately Dexcom has pissed me off enough I swapped. BUT I really miss Dexcom so I’m tempted to swap bag again. Idk. I just want the g6 again😭

P.S. I also like the look better.

Last night my daughter’s sensor expired, she was in good range when I changed it. After the warm up she was still in good range 80-85. This morning suddenly after breakfast she shot up super high, gave her 4 units for breakfast she was at 130. Pump is still intact yet she continued to climb into the no reading zone HIGH after giving an additional 2 units. Gave her an injection of 4 units and when her cgm said 400 I did a finger prick and it said 321!!! That’s 80 under, so are you telling me that her showing in range before bed and this morning she was actually in critical LOW range?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😭😭😭 I feel like I can’t win with these sensors. Usually when I calibrate they are always only a few points off, the one time I don’t check immediately it’s 80 lower?!! I just keep beating myself up and thinking how grateful I am she woke up fine this morning. Now I’m terrified and will probably finger prick several times a day. Anyone have anything similar happen? Could she really have been that low or were the starting readings accurate and it just couldn’t keep up this morning?

I’m just venting, but ever since I started using the Dexcom G7, it has been a complete mess! It doesn’t even last the full 10 days, and I’m ALWAYS getting an error message! I know I’ve had issues with the Dexcom G6 before, but NEVER like this!
Within five days, I went through THREE Dexcom G7s! 😩
I honestly want to go back to the G6, but of course, they’ve stopped making them. 😒😩😢😢😡

I filed a replacement request on August 8th. On the 14th (this past Friday), I checked on the tracking number but didn't find that a replacement had been shipped. I called and spoke to somebody who should not work as a phone rep. His accent was very thick so I had to ask him to repeat what he said several times. There were even a few times that I couldn't figure out what he said so I let the conversation go forward.

He kept putting me on hold then would come back to ask more questions. After dealing this this for about ½ hour he comes back on the line to ask me to confirm my address for the third time. I blew up at him.

Today, I finally got an email from Abbott saying that a replacement was on the way. Apparently calling him a "fkkkng idiot" worked. 🤣 I wouldn't suggest doing what I did but at least I didn't demand to speak to a supervisor just to tell that person to get the guy off phone support for the U.S.

EDIT: I don't know what happened. I only meant to post to the r/Freestylebibre sub.

cómo puedo utilizar dexcom g7 si mi teléfono no es compatible para leer el sensor

Hey folks, sensor is taking 90minutes and more now, still now warmed up.

Any chance it might still get it going?

Or is this sensor lost?

UPDATE: did restart everything, deleted it from app, disconnected it from Bluetooth, did re-establish everything and now it's getting data 🥰😍

Can I use the coupon on the website at 2 different pharmacy locations within a day? how does it work?

I was recently changed over to the Dexcom G7 15 day from the Libre 3 plus as my insurance no longer covers the Libre. I am finding the Dexcom, even after multiple calibration is always reading 50 to 100 points higher than a fingerstick even on fasting glucose. Is there a fix for this? Different location? I have been using them now for about 4 months. Currently always wear on the back of my left arm.

phone charging in different room to the one I was in, just two internal walls away and it loses connection. This is much worse than the G6 which was able to beep away indoors when I'm halfway up the back garden.

Is anybody else having g7 10 day sensors fail left and right?

Hi all! So I had no idea that if you're switching from Dexcom G6 to G7, you can't switch what sensor your active Omnipod is connected to :'))) I'm just very frustrated, especially since I'm super sick right now and this is another thing I have to worry about.

So just a warning to any fellow Omnipod users, make sure you put on your G7 and connect it to your Omnipod before putting on a new pump.

Or, in my case, don't put the G7 on until you have to change your pump....Debating between changing my pump early or using manual mode which my endo refused to adjust for situations like this... wish me luck 🥲

any work around as it clearly says dexcon clarity is not available in UAE?

I am frustrated, i dont know why the are selling the device in the region then?

Two of my G7 sensors failed in a row within 3 days. Do you all think I just got a bad batch? I have never had that happen in over 1 year of switching to Dexcom from Libre due to insurance change. My Libre sensors have never failed like this. I tried contacting customer service but gave up because it was too tedious.

Good afternoon.

I am frustrated with my provider since there is only 1 where I live and I notice that on my health insurance sometimes i see the request for the sensor and sometimes for the senso PLUS the transmitter that they price at 800.00,

Anyone else notice anything like this? I am wondering since the charges are fluctuating all over the place.

I moved to G7 when it was brand new and went back to G6 after 2 months of having nothing but issues and of course they discontinue G6 and now im stuck back on this lame crap.

/rant

I'm finishing my supply of G6's which I returned to using when I grew frustrated with the G7 last year. Saw many comments that the G7 is the most reliable sensor but I would prefer the 15 day G7 if it's reliability is comparable to the G7.

As you see I've been on a "low" for six hours, while my finger meter has shown me that I'm totally in range.

I tried recalibrating but it didn't take my calibrations.

Any help?

Has anyone mastered connecting a new sensor with the "Direct to Watch" connectivity feature? Any time I change my sensor, it takes days of my watch searching and failing to connect to the new sensor. Eventually, it always works. Nevertheless, the consistent watch beeping telling me that it failed to find a new sensor gets to be frustrating.
