General Discussion

So I will have to switch to the G7, which is going to be a learning experience, and most likely, an insurance nightmare that I am not looking forward to.

If I understand it right, the G7 has the transmitter built right into the sensor, which is now changed every 15 days, instead of every 10.

The G6 works pretty well for me, except sometimes when changing the sensor, I hit a capillary and the sensor fills with blood, rendering it useless.

When that happens, I call Dexcom, and they are good about sending you a replacement sensor for free.

Sometimes a new sensor will be wonky for a few hours, and you have to finger prick to get the right reading, and then calibrate the sensor to the finger prick reading.

Good luck to you as well, and to your spouse too.
