New CGM User With G6 Set-Up Questions

[MM1]

@underphil

The transmitter I’ve recieved is one of the newer 8Hxxxx, will this cause any issues using XDrip+?

You should be able to run fine using Native mode, and xDrip reports same number that receiver shows.

I have 8G transmitter, and works fine, with sensor restarts working ok when transmitter is removed for 20 minutes. Many discussions here have details/video, but have not seen 8H mentioned.

This may be helpful if you want to try restart after 10 days

So Excited - G6 Restarted

I normally change mine at 14 days, so I can start my presoak on Saturday night, swap the transmitter on Sunday morning when I BG is nice and stable, and rinse/repeat. If it was more stable like the G5 was for the first day, I wouldn’t mind starting new ones in the middle of the week. But even with the presoak, I like to have a non-work day for my first day on a new sensor.
