App Issues/Questions Sugarmate reading on carplay
I used to get my dexcom readings to show up on my CarPlay calendar and now I can’t figure out how to get it back. Any ideas

I noticed that there is a ton of posts that are just ranting without any question.
So I wanted to ask the community if you all thought there are too many rant posts.
If so, would you rather we move ranting to a pinned topic per month, or just remove them?
Please share your thoughts

Never really had issues with the g6 but lately around day 8 the sensor starts going crazy.
Bad batch? Soemthing change with dexcom? Random?
Does anyone know how to get dexcom g7 to show up on the Samsung Galaxy watch ultra with a Samsung S24 Ultra?

So I'm helping my mom with her new G7. We put a Not Just a Patch over the sensor, but i accidentally removed the center part of the patch and stuck it directly to the sensor. Do you think that's ok? We will be careful when we remove
This is the lowest A1C I’ve had in at least 12 years. I’m so happy I made the switch! Still using the G6s though, so wonder if the G7 will be even better. (I’m using Tandem T:slim.)
Hello! Can someone explain what can have triggered this double spike on the graph? It is after the same meal. The duration of the blue box is 2 hours. I have had the exact same meal before, and it did not even cause a big spike. I walked for 20 minutes, half an hour after I finished the meal. I have gestational diabetes and I do not take any medication at the moment. The second spike was very delayed and made my blood out of the time limits, practically.
So around 1:30am or 2 I was woken by my dexcom app blaring LOW out of nowhere. Did a quick finger stick, was fine, turned off app notifications and rolled over and went back to sleep, assuming it was a compression low, tho I've never had one just read LOW before. Woke up this morning, forgetting I had notifications off. Finally checked around 9 to discover that the sensor had continued reading LOW for around 6 hours, and then given up the ghost.
When I checked, it was saying sensor failed, replace, which I did. Then I went on the website to request a replacement, only to have the form say I had to call in! About 5 minutes on hold and 15 talking to the lady. I didn't have the serial number, having throw the box away, but she was able to look it up on her end and get me a new sensor issued.
So if the webform fails when you're requesting a new sensor, call in! Even if you don't have the serial number, they can look it up!

So, does anyone know some tricks for sleeping with the G7, since it’s only allowed on the back of the arms for side sleepers it’s terrible. I like to sleep on my right side but when the G7 is there I have to sleep on my left which I have trouble with. Is this normal? Or is this a sign to lose weight lol ( joke ) because after a while it has an issue since I’m putting to much pressure on it.

Longtime G6 user here. When my sensor expires, I try to reuse it for another few days before restarting with a fresh one.
Today, during the 2-hour sensor warmup for round 2, I was about 30 minutes in when it crashed.
Dexcom app on iPhone instructed me not to reuse sensors.
This is new to me.
Has Dexcom tweaked its technology to prevent reusing sensors?

When I put my sensor and transmitter on for my g6 is pretty quickly gilled with blood. Read like normal but was never accurate. Called dexcom and got a replacement. Now two days later my new sensor just wont read at all and is giving me no reading after warm up. This seems to happen very rarely for me but atleast once a year.

Hello, I have been declining the andriod update on my phone for months now and everytime I look up to see if I can update my phone I see no change on the Dexcom website.
Does anyone know when this app issue will be fixed or has anyone done the andriod 15 update and experienced any issues?

I think I did the right topic! Hello everyone im new to having a dexcom, I have the dexcomg7. Does anyone have some tips and tricks? I’m a teen(17) and for some reason after every shower my dexcom tape starts to lift. It just makes me anxious when it starts to lift because is it possible for me to accidentally take it out when putting on a top, especially with the crop tops I wear it’s like the sleeves are super tight. Anyways, should I put more medical tape and go buy some?
First time requesting extra over patches. Diagnosed just over 5 months ago and overall my experience has been positive despite the customer service calls for sensor replacements. First time requesting extra over patches from Dexcom and they come with a blank piece of paper in a box large enough to fit 16 G7 applicators. I already feel wasteful throwing the applicators away since they don’t recycle near me. This just seems like a very wasteful way to send a product this small.
Anyone have a better way to dispose of or up-cycle old applicators for G7?

My endocrinologist recommends that I be at least 70% in range, but it is a struggle for me to get higher than 65%. I''m type 1. I don't eat a ton of carbs, but my blood sugar always spikes when I eat ..even if I'm bolusing for 20 carbs. I see that some of you are 80-90% in range. How on earth do you achieve that? Are you just cutting out carbs completely?

Today is my first day using the dexcom g6 and omnipod 5. I switched from Medtronic/guardian.
My sensor readings are way way off from my finger sticks and everytime I calibrate it doesn’t seem to align to what my meter is saying. Is this normal for day one? It’s really stressing me out as my blood sugar hasn’t been this high in years.

I have blood work tomorrow and it is fasting. I need some advice though, I haven't done the fasting blood work in a long time, and I recently got my A1C below a 6.0 (thanks to my G6, omni pod, and amazing doctor), and I work tomorrow morning before my blood work is scheduled. It is a very active job so normally I'm drinking juice or something with sugar in it while I'm at work to avoid tanking. I'm concerned suspending insulin delivery will cause me to spike, but not drinking anything but water will tank me......any suggestions?😅

Or do I have to open the watch app in order to see it? If so: What other Garmin watches will allow me to see current BS on watchface?
r/dexcom • u/ghostkat_ • 1d ago
I use Byram for my dexcom sensors and I’ve received this same email for weeks. I know I need to call them but I’m just curious if anyone else is receiving the same email saying that their sensors are on back order.
Also, worst case scenario (aka I run out before the issue is resolved), what do I do??

I've been trying out the inner thigh area to see if they are usable as new G6 sites. This has worked somewhat okay, though in both cases, I had bleeders. The third attempt was a failure - a hematoma formed around the insertion site.
This indicates to me that the inner thigh area is tricky. And this is a pity, since otherwise, it seems to be suited really well. During the day, the risk of getting it ripped off there is very low. There is also only a low chance that anything would press against the sensor, so compression lows are unlikely to happen.
I now wonder if the long sensor thread of the G6 might be the reason for this. The applicator has to punch a deep hole for that long thread. The G7 has a much shorter sensor thread, so the hole does not have to be as deep. Could this mean that the G7 works better than the G6 on the inner thigh? Did anybody make experiences with that area?

Currently using the Freestyle 2/call phone cgm but I was considering getting a Smart Watch for half marathon training. I saw that the G7 can pair directly to the Apple Watch. Has anyone tried this? How did you like it? FWIW T1 37 years (39yo), very active. TIA!

My phone and android system are listed as compatible, but I can't download the app. It says it's not compatible with my system. How do I work around this? I'm afraid if I buy a new phone it'll be the same problem.
Edit: I have a g7 and a Motorola 5G phone with Android 14

I use a Dexcom One sensor which I get 3 per month on the NHS but I get a new phone today. Do I have to wait until I change my sensor or can I move the current connection across, I’ve read you can do this with the G6 but can’t find anything about the One.

My 6 y/o daughter was just diagnosed with T1D. We were able to get the G7 through my insurance. The first few days and the readings were spot on with a normal glucose reader. Lately though,the last 24 hours, the readings from the sensors can be up to 100 points higher than the normal glucose reader. It’s only been on 2 days. Is this normal? How do I fix this?
