Just got mine today April 24, 2024! Thinking about all my family ancestors who were diabetic and did not have this available to them! Amazing Tech.!
I love the G7 and its not hard to apply. But trying to put the adhesive ring over the sensor (which he conveniently left out of the video) is NOT FUN without another person's help. The material is too flexible and the adhesive so strong that trying to separate the patch from the template causes you to end up with a messed up ball. They must know this as they do NOT offer free replacement patches like they did for the G6!
Personally I’ve only used the overpatch once and that was after I out the g7 on my abdomen, so it was easy with two hands. The g7 is approved for abdomen in Europe and I like it there. But the g7 has stayed on my all 10 days every time without the overlay. This may change during the summer when I go swimming and it’s humid out.
I glab you guys like it
@@diabe_techhow did it feel in the arm after a few days? I tried a guardian sensor 3 in my arm and it felt odd after a few days so I took it out
I started with the G7 today, I messed up the overlay and contacted Dexcom to get more overlays, only to find out they don’t supply extras. I ordered some from Amazon, in the meantime I put a large band aide over the sensor. i will definitely need my husband to help with the overlay.
I put mine on the back of my arm, and had no trouble putting the overlay on
I love how we had the same reaction, this stuff is truly exciting and makes life a little easier
It was exciting to watch you press the button and have it actually work and install. My 93 year-old mother has been using (trying to use) the Dexcon G7 for the last month, and the failure rate is INCREDIBLE. Two failed and were replaced by Dexcom. BOTH of those failed (one had false low blood sugar alerts, almost 100 points off from the finger stick reading, and the other the button wouldn’t depress, seemed to be jammed.) I just renewed the Rx and got 3 more: the next 2 also failed! Couldn’t install the sensor; the buttons were inoperable! What a scam! So frustrating!
just got mine yesterday. love it. super accurate after the few hours of adjusting, but i stuck it on my stomach cuz i like sleeping on my arms too much.
Does it work accurately on your stomach ? I was wanting to relocate mine
This video helped me so much I’ve just moved onto the G7 recently and forgot how that I had to press the button 😅😂😂
I just got news I’m getting the g7!
Just got my g7 order and am very excited to switch over after I use up all my g6 supplies. Really excited to no longer have a separate transmitter. One less thing to worry about.
Yassssss !
Can’t wait for compatibility with Omnipod 5 ! 🙏❤
Loving mine currently while I take care of my gestational diabetes. Loving this technology!!
30 minute warmup??? That’s great!
So good. You can overlap them and have ZERO warmup ;)
Finally getting mine soon. That's awesome.
I have my too!! I am excited I am going to finish this last Libre 2 today, then I will be switching over I cannot wait… two weeks.
g7 has been ok with me so far; a few days now. I had to calibrate it several times with my actual blood sugar results from my standard device/finger prick. I love the idea that I can pull a report, I can log in meal stuff right into the device!
I love the G7…but since I got put on the Omnipod 5 I had to go back to the G6. I’m waiting for the G7 to be compatible with the Omnipod 5. I like Dexcom…but the G7 is the most accurate for me so far.
I finish my 1st month of the G7 today. Works good.
I'm also gonna try that out.
Yay!!! Let me know what you think :)
OK
this is my moms account I'm actually eight year old boys.
Im waiting for my Doctor to do a peer to peer with my insurance to get this approved so i will have this and a insulin pump to keep my diabetes in check
❤ I love my G7
On my g6, the photo never works for me. I I have kust grown a custom to put the code I. Manually
My son has it💙
You also have a grace period of 30mins. So you don’t have to take off your older one. Simply stick it on and wait the 30mins that way you still get readings from the older one and once the 30mins are up the other one is ready and you don’t have to miss your readings.
YUP!
I absolutely agree it’s better than the g6 it doesn’t usually bleed or hurt when applied properly and it last 10 days tracks my blood sugar and to be honest the g7 was the very first dexcom I put 2 months ago and I know how the g6 works because of videos and I would absolutely recommend g7
I’m type 1 but I use omnipod5 so I can’t get the g7
Sadly I can’t, but I’m glad that it’s constantly upgrading and becoming better.
Love the enthusiasm but let’s talk about cost….deductible, copay or whatever! This may be easier than pricking your finger, but is it affordable for EVERYONE?!
Definitely not everyone, but I save by going through Signos and it's payable with my HSA even though I'm not diabetic.
First sensor would have required pliers to apply until it launches inspecting it and it flys across the room other than that it works fine.
How often do you have to calibrate? And with what reading do you enter, fasting?
'Owww!'
Okay, I'm legit scared now.
Lol don't be too scared - I've had bee stings that have hurt 10000x worse! 🐝
Oooh I want a g7 now rn I have g6😅
yasssss
Me toooo
Qué bueno que sirva para su salud
Still big, but does it at least update by the minute now like Libre 3?
I just got mine!
For a non-diabetic: can anyone explain me what the Dexcom is and is it your basal insulin? Or how does this work?
Non-diabetic here with some knowledge of diabetes:A deacon is something that tracks your blood sugar and is a cgm(constant glucose monitor) it tells you if you are high or low. It is not an insulin pump but tells you when you need to give yourself insulin
Great answer! Plus, the Dexcom can work alongside some pumps and automate the insulin delivery - this is called a Closed loop system or Automated Insulin Delivery system (AID)
@@kermitdafrog7053 cool :3 thx guys
@@kermitdafrog7053does it hurt
@@SpeedStackingHumanI just put my first one in like an hour ago and I didn’t feel a thing. But I’ve been wearing a pump for like 13 years and a CGM for about 5 so I’d say I’m pretty used to it lol
Wait...
My stuff is still on order so I haven't used it yet.
Isn't there supposed to be a cover that goes over the sensor?
My app is asking for the TRANSMITTER SN. Where can can I find this??
I only have my iPhone and the sensor… the sensor has a 4 digit SN, but the app expects a 6 digit TRANSMITTER SN.
Loosing my mind over here. 🤯📈
Thanks 🙏🏼
Where i can check the reviews for product?
How often do you need to change it ?
Is this accurate? Is it waterproof for showering?
Yes!!!
I bought a few to try. The poor adhesive really is a downfall. The filament is much more comfortable than libre however
Wait, does it still loop in with the T-slim??? Sorry stupid question
That’s the same reaction I had
Can you place the the G7 anywhere besides the back of the arms? I recently and accidentally ripped a dexcom g7 off and I’m so afraid I’ll do it again just not paying attention
Strongly suggest you apply it to your abdomen. Your readings will be much more accurate. I have been on the G7 for about a month now. I had bout a 20 point difference between my left and right arm. My endo said that is fairly common and suggested I apply it to my abdomen.
Thanks for the tips! I like both my arm and abdomen and I get similar results
Maybe there is more fat in the abdomen than the arm also sometimes the sensor gets pressed giving you inaccurate readings too.
Does it hurt you bump patch sense it got a needle in it?
there really is no needle its more like a wire its very thin @@demetruesorange5740
I have a 10-pt difference between arms, and a 10 to 20+ -pt difference between arms and abdomen. The abdomen also tends to get crunched more often, no pun intended 😄 I found the upper arm readings more closely reflect my a1c
Is there any pain difference from the g6?
My first 2 I accidently knocked them out off . One came off in bed the other one i was going around a corner and it snagged it off. I'm not a fan. My G6 never came off. So I'm out all this money .
The receiver app doesn't even pop up in my play store. Smh
Wish it worked with the omnipod
I wish CGM for Medtronics 780g mini pump was that easy … and not 2 hrs warm up 😢
Will they come to Malaysia?? :(
How long does it last before you need a new one? 🤔
G7 is for what? Only for type 2 diabetes or could also use with type 1 , my mom is insulin dependent so is it ok for her to use?
Definitely for type 1. I consider it a must have.
I getting my tomorrow is that easy to do it
Oh boy🤗
Ok it's G7 I'm happy for you but it's a cgm is it the time you don't have to wait for results, or that it works with the omni pod well anyway congrates I think
I didn't get a fancy box like that.
Does it hurt
Does it hurt??
Mine goes under my arm on the back side
What is this dexcom g6 and g7 thing do anyway?
Being diabetic it measures the blood glucose without having to do finger sticks.
Has anyone tried Eversense?
Let us know how it does. Can you put it on your stomach?
It’s not cleared for the stomach in the US, but it is in Europe. I tried it there twice and like it!
I cannot get mine to stay on
What's the over patch for? And how many is for 14 day?
10 days - overwatch is recommended for use, I dont use it though. I use Skin Grip to keep mine on during the Summer months.
Is it accurate?
I would need to wear it on my stomach. A medical necessity.
Hello! How can i buy the dexcom G7 in Brazil?
Check its website!
I have a Dexcom G6 on MY arm😢❤
I have found that the G7 is less accurate than the G6, especially for the first two days after inserting. For example, the G7 showed glucose of 50, and a finger stick was 103.
wow! I have found it to be accurate overall, but it has its moments just like the G6.
I thought it was cheap till I tried purchasing 😂😂😂 I realized it cost my house rent
Cool 😎
😁
Ur so funny and very handsome mr😅
I hope you washed your hands first. Watch the area. Let it dry. Use the alcohol wipe on the area. Let it dry and then put it on
I like Freestyle Libre 3! 14 days and share data with doctor a family member. But wait for it! Found out my insurance pay for Dexcom G7. Wait! They will pay for my Freestyle if my doctor will send the information of why I need the Freestyle. If my insurance like the answer, then an approval will go through. The Dexcom looks pretty cool! It's only for 10 days.
The only problem with the Libre Freestyle is that the cap is very hard to screw off. it's not as easy as shown like this one.
Also you can use Good Rx or Single care to get a discount if your insurance doesn't cover it . The Freestyle Libre
I agree!@@mireyarojas314
@@mireyarojas314I finally tried the Dexcom and I love you! No more Libre 3😅
Did the needle hurt going into your arm?
Not at all.
i struggle so much with putting it on 😭
I had to practice and use a mirror, getting better at it now!
Then it’ll be the G8 then the G9 on and on still no cure
Does it hurt putting it on ?
I truly believe that all the external CGM's are pretty much pain free but occasionally you can hit a nerve and it is noticeable you have inserted a needle into yourself. Definitely worth whatever discomfort there is.
No, not at all.
You forgot alcohol pad!! 😢😮😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
What is the G7 for?
It’s a continuous glucose monitor! So instead of needing to finger prick a bunch of times a day, the dexcom g7 will send readings to your smart phone every 5 mins! The only time you need to finger prick is when your numbers on your dexcom don’t match your symptoms, or it says low (you should check your blood glucose when it says low because the dexcom doesn’t read your blood, it reads the fluid which is slightly behind your blood glucose, so there’s a small delay sometimes) you basically check to make sure it’s low before you treat the low. I hope this helps! ❤
Dexcom could reduce the cost by not having such flashy excessive packaging. Totally unnecessary.
he got it for free ???
lol why all the jumping ?
I’m mad lol I got the g6
Next time go g7 ;) unless you’re on an automated system - still only g6, for now
What is this?
Takes 2 days to get more accurate
It barely lasts 5 days cause it doesn’t stick
wow, it stays on the entire 10.5 days for me.
😢😢😢😢😢😢they are no dexton in Algeria juste l buy free style from France for my kid 8years it's so so expensive
Am I the only one who doesn’t know what this is?
Drama queen
I'm 72 and put my 14 days on for years and never such an act for putting it on
Thumbs down 👎 for Drama act
Nobody cares Grandpa grow up I hqve type 1 diabetes and I'm 19
Uhm not easy apply. Having to hold it down with such force hurts me badly. Im a type one whos used dexcom since the very first one and this is the worst one yet he completely skipped over how hard you have to push down. Im going to have my fiance hold down the sides next time because damn i just cant. I dont even want to use the g7 but i cant get my g6 back for a year until my insurance will cover it
I dont push down that hard. dang.
Are you paid for this?
😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉
I watched this in mute. Hope it went well. It seems it did. Also seemed too loud.
Habdu
God he’s insufferable
Man his fake excitement is irritating!
Ur gay bro
Tf is wrong with this dude ?
This is scary.
Not knowing where your blood glucose is at is way, way, more scary.
@@dwightl5863 did you just down play my fright?
It works better if you put it on your ass cheek. Pro tip
