I was pleased to read of your and other members success with the G7. I realize that the G7 will eventually be my only Dexcom option. I have held back on the G6 but that choice has not been without its own problems. (Edited to add: To be clear, I’m using the G6, not the G7.)
A few weeks back I called Dexcom to request replacement for an inaccurate sensor that failed early plus the replacement that bled profusely. They said that I was “over the limit” for replacements and my request needed review at the supervisor level. When I asked what the “limit” was, the rep was evasive.
I did receive replacements for those two but it affected me. I had good performance for the next two sensors, both ran 10 full days. Then I started having problems with accuracy and data dropouts on the third day of a sensor. I stuck with that sensor and had three consecutive interrupted sleep nights. Then the sensor failed on day six. I called it in and they said they will replace it.
I was forced to consider that I might be the problem as I age and live with other health problems. When I read about the problems you are dealing with, I think that much of Dexcom failures and inconsistency is likely Dexcom’s fault.
When the Dexcom sensor works well, it is amazing. I don’t change my daily habits and diet much, but I do have to change my Dexcom sensors.
Thanks for your reports, @Marilyn6. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one!
