      G6 to G7 is an advancement in it self. Just switched from G6-G7 9 days ago, getting ready for my 2nd G7 install. Love it, because prior to using CGM’s, in the last 10 yrs. have had 3 ambulance rides to Emergency Room for low BS. Thanks you Dexcom.

    Just applied my first G7 - been using the G6 for a couple of years. I don't use my cell with it, I have a Tandem pump & all my readings go directly to my pump. I don't like having so many items to keep up with. I'm anxious to hear about your first 10 days using the G7. Thanks for sharing.

    The g7 overlay makes a bug purple ring around its edge when I remove it. It's so hard for me to get it on the back of my arm, where I can't see, and get the overlay patch on it always rolls and sticks to itself.😢

    I'm confused where to put it. Does it go on the tricep or do you try to avoid putting it on the muscle part of your arm? Do you want to switch arms for each new application or can you keep using the same arm? Do you have to enter the code again each time you replace the G7?

My issues have been that my fingers go numb at night even though I am a side sleeper. I'll try a different spot like you've shown in this video. Hopefully this will eliminate the numbing and pain.

    Waiting for the Tandem integration here, as well. (Thanks for recommending it a while back!!) Is the back of the arm now the recommended location, or an option to the old standard/only choice, the abdomen? I ask because I also really rely on the overtape to keep it in place, and find applying it a two handed application. I’m rather all thumbs, and am a bit uneasy about the mechanics of inserting the sensor and applying the tape one-handed in an awkward position. Thanks so much for all your videos!

    I think the G7 is pretty cool the fact that it's kind of almost a little more like freestyle libre sensor which is also one piece. if I'm not mistaken I think the G7 no longer has a separate receiver it just works with the app on the phone.

    I just opened up my sensor pack, and I wasn't expecting the needle to be that big. (I couldn't tell in Danica's video.) Therefore, I'm a bit terrified, 😌 but mainly because I wasn't sure what to do if I was among the small percentage of people who thought it hurt and what to do if it hurts. 😓
    Also, I sleep on my back, so the back of my arms don't seem like a good place to put the sensor. Therefore, hopefully, the fatty inside of my arm seems like it would be better.

      That made me laugh because I jumped at the loud sound too! And I can’t remember if you asked or not, but I place it on my abdomen because otherwise I can’t get the adhesive patch on the thing. Also because getting the sensor on is a 2 handed process for me. It seems to work fine. I do a finger stick the next morning after I put on a new sensor. Works really well. This is my first BGM so I have nothing to compare it with. All I know is sticking my finger every morning was getting to be a real chore and my fingers always hurt. Between the BGM and Ozempic, I can almost forget I have diabetes.

      @@BlackJack-sx1jw Well, I'm glad to hear the someone else had the same reaction. 🙂 Also, I saw another video where the person said that they used it on their abdomen. However, I'd rather follow the rules so that if something goes wrong, they can't blame me for not following the instructions. Although something HAS already gone wrong. Mine stopped working after about 5 days and the app message told me to take it off and put on a new on. But the only problem with that is that I have 3 of them (a 30-day supply) and my insurance won't pay for anymore before that time.
      Also, I noticed that my glucose was running kind of high with the Dexcom, so I used a finger prick and from that, my numbers weren't as high as the Dexcom was saying it was. 😕 But I hope that I don't have to go back to finger pricking because my smaller fingers had started to no yield blood. However, I read somewhere that it was actually better if you pricked your middle finger and your ring finger to better results.

  • @stephira123
    @stephira123 ปีที่แล้ว

    I started with the Dexcom G7 2 months ago. The first sensor would not read my blood glucose and I had to throw it away. The 4th sensor wouldn't pair with the app so that had to be replaced. All others work fine and Dexcom replaced the two faulty ones. However it regularly gives me faulty readings and the worst thing is that if my blood sugar is low and I drink/eat suga to correct itr it take at least 30 minutes to show an increase my bs reading. It never goes up to 3, 4 or 5 it just goes from low to 10 (180) and then I have to take insulin. I think it's completely ridiculous. With my glucometer I have to only wait 10 minutes and I will see my bs go up enough to not consume more sugar. I have considered throwing the sensor and phone I paid €500 for and only has the dexcom app out the window many times. I find the Dexcom handy but I could easily go back to my glucometer .

      I use my upper arms as part of a rotation-right side-arm, abdomen, butt, thigh; repeat left side. Arms are my favorite. Run the tubing up the arm and down the torso to clip on a waist band. I learned the hard way, to tape slacked tubing to my skin about 8” from the infusion site, so when I get hung up on a door handle, the tug will be on the taped tubing and not on the insertion site, which invariably wrecks it.
      I just never put a sensor near an area with the infusion site.

    You need the covers the stick to the sensor and around it my wife used one with just the hole in the middle and less than 2 hours the whole entire sensor just popped right through the donut and came out

    I will get my G7 on my next order. I hope I like it. I already have the receiver. I don’t use my phone. I also use a Medtronic 670 G that unfortunately doesn’t speak to my Dexcom. I’m excited for your next video and your thoughts on the G7.

    My only negative coment is the site for the sensor/transmitter as it's very difficult for someone like myself to attach the over-patch (100% disable veteran who shakes from years of congetive heart failure) so must have another person to place it for me!

    I am not excited about a completely disposable unit. At least the other way less was thrown out. The only reason to do this is to prevent people from using the sensor site for longer than 10 days. Not a fan.

    • @TheAshleydelmar
      @TheAshleydelmar ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Exactly. Restarting a sensor is the only way many people are able to afford to use sensors long term. It makes me really upset to see people praising these companies because moves like this prove that they care about their bottom line more than they care about their actual patients.

      Plan on trying a CGM , from what I have read re Dexcom 7 sensor failures etc maybe the Dexcom 6 is a better choice ?

    • @BlackJack-sx1jw
      @BlackJack-sx1jw ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The G7 is the first CGM I’ve used. The only downside I can see is that it’s really hard to put that extra adhesive patch on with no wrinkles.

      Hi! I am not diabetic, only a paramedic and nursing student, and just out of curiosity for educational purposes, (I understand if nobody wants to answer), how much more expensive is the dexcom G7 compared to the G6? And if I understand with the G6 you could reuse the same transmitter for three months before disposing of it, you just replace a small sensor every ten days?

  • @johnmclaughlin7406
    @johnmclaughlin7406 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the second sensor insertion and pairing you will probably realize that the Bluetooth code is identified, on your phone, by a”DXCMxx” with the xx being two letters. The two letters are not identified any where in their packaging. So, question will be which Bluetooth code to remove? I messaged Dexcom and they thought that it was like the G6 which used the last two numbers from the calibration code. NOT, so they are checking on it, for now. Great to see you again!

    • @jeweldenile8995
      @jeweldenile8995 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m not sure if dexcom got back to you about this but I read somewhere that if you leave your Bluetooth pairing open and it shows more than one they will all be disconnected but if you watch them sometime within the next 5 minutes you will see one of them change to “connected”. That will be the current one that you are using and you can delete the others. Hope this helps ☮️
