· I placed the new Dexcom G6 sensor on my abdomen, hovering my index finger above the large orange insertion button. I pressed it, exhaling as I felt the minute needle pierce my skin’s surface. I looked down, and started to rub the adhesive in circles to make sure it was stuck, when I saw blood. Not just a drop, but a decentsized pool forming beneath the sensor. Before long, just about the ...

· Before August I rarely had a failed sensor. In fact, the G6 was so accurate I hated to replace the sensor on day 10. To me, it’s obvious that Dexcom has made some change that causes this issue. For the past several months I’ve seen the exact same behavior and failure pattern with every sensor.

· Just submitted the form with second “sensor error” for that sensor and changed it out, too. I really am NOT a fan of the G6! Hear me, Dexcom? ETA: And a replacement sensor is on its way. I did not have this issue with the G5 (more reliable if not quite as accurate).
· Essentially, it’s a two step process. The first calibration is with a fake number that is somewhere between actual and the sensor. The second calibration is the real blood sugar number from a meter that SHOULD fix the sensor and be accurate again. This sensor showed my BG was 150 after warmup, but my meter said 100.
