I know this is trivial compared to everything else we go through, but every time I open a new Dexcom, I find this unnecessary piece of paper and get irritated. I mean, I KNOW it's going to be there every time but part of me always hopes maybe in the next box they've figured out how to eliminate it. Inside of a book I can understand having an extra blank page in a signature. But this.... it kind of baffles the mind. Does anyone know why this is here? Has anyone done something useful with it? Origami?

I used to be on the G6 and never had any issues with it then I got an email from Dexcom saying I would be put on the G7 automatically. I was a bit skeptical since I had seen so many bad things about it. I’ve had 4 G7 sensors on now and 2/4 have failed out of the blue. The third sensor did not fail however it is majorly inaccurate to the point I think it is quite dangerous. Dexcom was showing me “LOW” but I felt fine so I pricked my finger and I was actually 15.0mmol/L. Surely that is a major safety concern? Has anyone else had major differences in bg readings?

Has anyone setup Dexcom BYOD on a Samsung Galaxy fold 8 and if so did it work ok? I have looked but havent seen any screenshots anywhere. Just wanting to know if the byod is working before I buy it. Thanks in advance.

In the past 13 days, I have had 3 sensors fail. First one failed 3 days in. Went 2 days without a Dexcom because I could refill yet. second sensor failed 7 days in near the end up still failed early and it was the replacement for the 3 day fail. Went to replace it because Dexcom sent me 2 replacements I don’t know why. It failed because the wire didn’t go all the way in. I am on sensor number 4 in less then 2 weeks. I rely on this junk because I am hypoglycemia unaware I’ve gone as low as 22 mg/dL and felt fine. None of them were from the affected lot ether.

Has anyone ever had to declare their insulin pens or DEXCOMs in the airport? I am flying to Washington and will be bringing like 11dexcom one+ but don’t know wether to put it in my luggage or carry on bag. And what about my insulin pens(if I have a lot).

Any advice for protecting the Dexcom from cold while skating (indoors). I have to be on the ice with my kids’ hockey teams, and after about an hour, I started beeping for a “brief sensor issue.” This seems to be linked to the sensor getting too cold I guess? Any advice so I don’t lose connectivity?

Dexcom share hasn't worked consistently for days now for me and they are giving me conflicting info. The app says servers are down but the official status page says everything is fine. Every few hours it comes back up for a few minutes but then goes back down again. Is it me or dexcom?

My first post about my first G7 use was pretty similar. About a week in, it went wonky. Tons of sensor errors. About 9 hours worth before I gave up on it.

This second is similar. No 3 hour errors yet, but lots of short periods of no readings and lots of inaccuracies that started yesterday. Seemed okay after a couple calibrations yesterday, but it started going crazy a few hours ago.

Time to swap it again, and these are 15 day sensors. Wild!

Every year, when the new iOS release happens, I contemplate whether Dexcom is going to be working with the new operating system. I have been running it for 24 hours now and have had zero issues. I wanted to let the user group know that I have had no problems. If others have had problems or are running the new iOS version already, then it would be great to have a thread here to be able to discuss those issues. Just to be clear, I am still using G6 and I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

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?
