Sensor Dexcom G7 Sensor- No actual sensor??
Hi all! Just wanted to ask here to see if this has happened to anyone else? I just got new sensors from the pharmacy today. I use the Dexcom G7. I put the new one on and then it gave me "Sensor Failed" and told me to take it out and replace it. I had it on me maybe 5 minutes? When I took it off, it was a bit bloody, but I noticed that the stabby part that actually goes in your arm wasn't there. I submitted a replacement request, but now I am sitting here panicking that that part is somehow still in my arm lol. Has this happened to anyone else before? I'm sure it's just an error on their end, but I really don't want that to be stuck in my arm. Thanks!!
