You are a gem Ariel!!! Thank you so much for you video and offer to coach. Just received by first g6 last night and I'm soaking all this in. So far I'm loving it. Thanks for the tips!!!
Thank you. Even the overpatches don't stick well. Will try Skin Tac Don't pop that orange thing off until after you place the sensor applicator on your body, you might accidentally deploy the device and will need to get a new one.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO... a big help --- what phone are u using - brand and model - i need to replace my LG and need to know what to buy that will work with the G6 APP... THANKS

I sweat a lot while running, I have my Dexcom G6 on my stomach but falls off after a Max 3 days!! 🤬🤬 Any advise?? Should I shave the area of my stomach or just leave it.. Falls off after Or during swimming as well!! I have tape around the adhesive side!!
Joey Komosa I completely agree! However if you call customer service, there is a website you can go to to order them online. The operator lists it before you talk to anyone.
@@abovediabetes - I called the phone number I saw in your video on the overpatch image. I'm on the phone now with them, and nobody has mentioned a website.
I really wish I could say this worked for me, but it didn’t. I got my G6 last month and was unable to download the app to my Alcatel Raven Android phone (even though it’s version 7.1.1.) So, I’m using the Dexcom receiver and just couldn’t get your instructions to work. Thanks anyway.
look for the "[OC] Build Your Own Dexcom App update-on Redditt base version updates" to update the dexcom app to work on most phones running android 7 or newer, i think it was.good luck.
just use super glue... im just kidding. i useally wipe with alchol wipe. then put on the senser then take that alchol wipe and wipe around all over the white tape. lasts me all 10 days no prob...

I never thought about putting it on the adhesive before i put it on

Thank you. I'm new to Dexcom. I've used Skin-Tac with the Freestyle Libre 2 but didn't know how to use it with the Dexcom.
Awesome Video. I gotta watch episode 2. Just spent $900 on 3 boxes of sensors. Even an extra day helps. Thanks Betie Buddy!!

Where can you get the sight covers?
Does the extension still work? Because we restarted our sensor yesterday if continuously gives sensor error
Ok so i get I.V prep wipes and they leave a sticky feel also. My question is are these the same as the skin tac wipes or just antiseptic?
What's the cost for the overpathes?
Where is the second part of this video where you talk about restarting it? My sensor ends soon and I really would like to restart it before it dies.

The Dexcom overpatches work great - make all the difference making it 10 days.
Love them
Not 12 bucks on amazon in Canada for skin tac it’s like $28.00
I'm still not sure why you're removing the sticky part of the sensor that sticks to your skin.
Just seen your video new to Dexcom

I used the tape from expression med
your suppose to only wear it for 10 days then change it
Nice 👍🏼
Something must be weird with my sister's skin. She has the worst time removing her sensors, really painful.
uni solve adhesive remover is a huge help for removing these! Solved our problem (pun intended)

Why dont they just send the overpatches automatically??

@@kevinh995 you don't need to call, you can go directly to www.dexcom.com/overlaypatch
Guess. $$$$$$$$$
Dexcom is not good device screen cracked sensors fail etc
You can’t because your battery dies and you need to change it
