· Pulling perfectly good sensors will cost Dexcom and/or the users money that doesn’t need to be spent. And, even if the G6 doesn’t hurt for insertion (your experience may vary), nobody wants to have to do another pull of fresh adhesive off their skin unnecessarily. Ouch. Plus, Dexcom tech support is spending time answering phone calls about perfectly good sensors that are being rejected ...

· 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.
· Du bekommst einen ErsatzTransmitter + Sensor zugeschickt und mußt den alten zur Qualitätskontrolle einschicken.

Hey folks started using dexcom G6 in March (newly diagnosed t2) and they worked fine for the past few months… up until the past 4 sensors I’ve had, which have all had major issues and either taken days to get proper readings or failed entirely.

· During the warmup period, the Dexcom G6 CGM System may detect that your sensor is unable to retrieve glucose information once the session starts. At this time, the warmup period will end and your receiver or compatible smart device* will display the “Sensor Failed” screen. You will now need to replace the 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.

I inserted a new G6 sensor and early in the warmup process got a "sensor error" message. Tried to restart but the same thing. I pulled the sensor off and noticed the sensor wire was missing. I have access to a microscope and I saw no broken piece or anything. Just no wire. The insertion needle did indeed make a hole in my skin. I could feel no ...
