WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use the sensor as usual for the 10 days, save the code.
2. After the 10 days pass, ‘start sensor’ (with old sensor), don't enter a code.
3. Let the warm-up go until Dexcom stops you and says no restarts.
4. ‘Stop sensor’.
4. ‘New sensor’ again, and skip the code again.
5. Wait exactly 15 minutes. Use a timer.
6. ‘Stop sensor’, then ‘start sensor’ one more time, but use the code this time.
7. Now it should work for another full 10 days.
This reset worked great a few times at end of 2019. Dexcom clearly watched your instruction video and chose to shut this helpful hint down to maximize profits and ensure the 10 day life was not extendable. Built in obsolescence adds millions to the bottom line! Unfortunate. Thanks for your great instruction videos, clear and concise.
U have to remove the transmitter from the sensor.30 minutes. U probably know this by know✌️✌️
I really appreciate all your videos got bless you, my son was diagnosed with type 1 and is been hard ever seen God bless
2020 update remove the transmitter from the sensor. Wait 30 minutes and put it back. Enjoy 10 more days of G6. ✌️✌️♥️
I've successfully used the "popping out the transmitter" trick with an 8G. Stop the session or let it expire, pop out the transmitter, wait 30 minutes, start a new session using the same code, pop the transmitter back in, begin the warmup. Pretty simple. My next transmitter is going to be an 8J, hopefully it will work for that one, too.
Thankyou!
It worked for us. Thankyou so much for the video.
with the 80 and 81 transmitters this method does work. With 8G transmitters this way does not work. Folks either have to pop out the transmitter using a test strip or by disabling the bluetooth on the phone for just over 2 hours.
Type1Tech TipsnTricks thank you for sharing, I will definitely use this.
Type1Tech TipsnTricks what is the process using disabling the Bluetooth on phone for two hours. I also use tandem t-slim x2.
@@lh5192 I have not personally tried this method yet, but some are disabling their bluetooth for 2hrs 20 minutes. They had to move their receiver out of range during this. Since tandem pumps connect to bluetooth I dont know the steps for that yet. I dont use tandem pumps yet.
I was able to do this up until a few weeks ago, when a received a new set of sensors and transmitters. I believe Dexcom closed the hack. The only reason everyone is trying to do this is because this system is way too expensive. Another company will come along and find a better and lower cost way to do this.
Amalea Rose I totally agree. As soon as I find out how to get this to work for the latest transmitters, I’ll post.
yea we just saw they closed the loop...its all about the money for these companys….they don't care that we cant afford them and try to squeeze another few days out of them...I wish we were back on the G5....we found it to be way more accurate for us...cant wait to find another option so we can dump dexcom
Any updates on this yet?
I just restarted mine.. Took it off.. Put it back on right away.. .. Said no restarting.. Took it off again.. Waited 30 minutes.. Put it back on.. 2 hours later... Working just fine
Is this doable in 2020 and can you do this with the Dexcom receiver instead of a phone?
Any tips for a Dexcom G6 arm wearer (U.K. where it’s licensed to wear on bingo wing!) I’m on my 2nd sensor and found the on the 1st time the transmitter hard to release even though I’d taken the sensor off my arm beforehand.
can we do this using the g6 receiver and not the phone? or can we only use the phone and turn off the receiver, I am not clear on this part????
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.
How come my restart proses dors not work. I have tried two sensors but dosent work
Thanks Ariel.we just switched our autistic+ diabetic 13 YO from the g5 and your tutorial is the best.very good looking girl by the way.God BLESS YOU.HAPPY NEW YEAR.💝🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️☝️💝💝
I'm so glad it was helpful for you. I wish your daughter the best with the new year.
This does not work with the most recent transmitters. At least not for me. I'm going to try the method of popping the transmitter out that I have seen. Good luck!
That's the only way it works now. Did you use the test strip to removed it?
@@gmailfaby Sorry so late but yes it has worked for me. Just depends on where the sensor is if I can get the right angle!
Have u tried exspression med full coverage patches for swimming.
I don't think this is a good idea for me since most of the sensors I have used don't even last 10 days. I just put one in this morning and it has been giving me crazy readings all day including the 3 dashes. Loved the G5. It would stick well for 3 or more weeks and stayed accurate.
Has Dexcom changed this? Can I restart a G6 sensor?
I keep trying and can not get it to restart. It would be nice if it would. I can not get my sensors when I need them. I have Medicare advantage and Dexcom tells me I have to wait for the last one to only have 7 days left. Then it takes 10 to 12 days to arrive. I need help.
Don't understand. Is there a shutdown for the old sensor?
Sorry this restart does not work.
It seems that the restart does not work anymore.
Received message saying: sensor cannot be restarted!
How long have you had type 1? My daughter is 12 diagnosed at 4
Will this work with the 8J transmitter?
Does this work with an android phone and, will it also work with the G6 meter
Did not work for me
About as clear as mud.
This does not work with a 8H transmitter.
correct. But when I find out how, I will post! Best of luck to you.
@@abovediabetes does it work on 8G sensors?
8h yet?
Havana Marie not yet! I’m working on it.
Not yet! But it's the most aggravating thing with dexcom to change out every 10 days. I'm working on it.
Does this work in 2020?
As long as you use a 80- or 81- transmitter, but not with the 8H- unfortunately.
@@abovediabetes how do you know which transmitter you have?
@@kennyjohn3774 You can find the transmitter ID in two places. On the box, on the Dexcom clarity app in settings, on a Dexcom receiver, or on a Tandem pump in CGM settings. Hopefully that helps. Good luck Kenny!
@@abovediabetes I have an 8G transmitter.
I removed my transmitter, turned off my bluetooth off on my phone (app on phone), and waited 30 minutes before I restarted my Dexcom G6 and reinserted the transmitter. 2 hours later, my pump is reading my sugars. I turned my bluetooth back on my phone .
It worked!!!
Tried this 10/14 & does NOT work
81 transmitter - did not work
@@ntnab3 what does work w/ 81 transmitters????
@@richardlanet2731 there seems to be 2 firmware versions out on the 81 transmitters.
The transmitter removal method does work with the firmware versions:
2.18.2.88
1.6.5.25
There are known problems with firmware version 1.6.5.27 ..... until more people get these versions there will be a delay in tips on them.
