I already think the cheapest MCG on the market (removing the subsidized): 134 days, 1 transmitter, 4 sensors.

And I have changed it to the skin, not for bad readings.

2 of the sensors were less than 20 days for hook, the last 63.

How do you see it?

Out of curiosity, how much did those of the G4 or even G5 lary?

greetings

You already want the new Dexcom G7 to arrive only by size it is worth it, although the results are already improving that of G6 is complicated !!!

Watch this video also talks about the wonderful G7 and the advances of Apple Watch, they will finally update the G6 transmitter firmware so that the Apple Watch receives the signal directly from the transmitter.These people care about giving us quality of life.

On the other hand, the basal IQ (predictive stop) of Dexcom G6 with the Tandem is impressive, makes some predictions that I want to comment after a month of use almost.
Nor imagine the quality that the Dexcom G7 will have if the G6 is like this

Hello
I have been looking a little on this issue and I have not found it, but maybe you have already commented.

Yesterday afternoon I put on a G6 sensor and started perfect.I did as always a blood and great control.But I lying on me and suddenly sinned.It was put in 60!I had a fast and sudden myu decrease curve.And the alarm to whistle.I controlled me and I was in 108. I put a calibration and readjust well.After a while the alarm again.Technical problem, wait message (up to 3 hours).After a while it connects and starts again to whistle the alarm, which was 40!Another very steep descent curve in the app.And it was fine.At 5 in the morning, whistle again and says that it introduces calibration or not continuous.Turn off the mobile, I had to sleep something!

This morning I put the calibration, I accept it and for the moment it has worked very well during the day.But I don't understand very well what happened.Of course, he gave me the night.

It has already happened to me with a sensor, some temporary connection error, once or twice, but the last night.And I put it as always, in the same areas.I do not know if it is normal and it has ever happened to you and there is some way to avoid it.Or it has simply been bad luck with the sensor or the area in which the needle has entered.

All the best

I put these links here too since they have a lot to do with Dexcom G6.
He will make a month lucky to enter a study in the hospital to be able to test the new Tandem Tx Slim 2 Basal IQ microinfusora.

I had not realized that I had not put in this thread the first contact review of the microinfusora tandem Tx Slim 2 Basal IQ.

I advise you to read this before the review I have done after a month of use.

Read the post from above before this.

Here is the review after a month of use of the new Tandem Tx Slim 2 Basal IQ microinfusora.

Last night the same thing happened to me with another new sensor that I put on at 8 afternoon.Under the beast and I do not accept a calibration that gave him and asked for another after a while.But this time turns off the mobile directly.And I slept perfectly!

This morning has asked me for a calibration after reconnecting.And it works well!

Awesome!!!!With that durability you don't have to think about changing.I didn't remember this !!!

Thus it is demonstrated that the false rumors that said that Dexcom G6 lasted little are already fallen.There are already many who manage to stretch the sensors a lot of days.

Exact the only what has to be done is to secure it well with Skin Tac and an additional aposty and they last a lot !!!

Well, also tell you that Dexcom G6 already links with the microinfusora Tandem Tx Slim 2 Basal IQ, they are already putting themselves.
And control IQ is already waiting to be approved by the FDA.IQ control will control the ups and downs within normal conditions.

What is a great truth and more curious of all is that the users of the Nightscout Loop system, almost all use Dexcom G6, after having tried more than three months, it will be for something.

All of them are great specialists from these technology systems, they are the most ready that can best control this systems, knowledgeable in the heart and if they were more expensive, they would have stopped using it, I say, nobody has the money left over, well toSome who are dedicated to trade with this perhaps yes, but it is not usually the case of these people.

These users of the LOOP system continue to put photos of being using Dexcom G6 in their accounts since it came out almost a year ago, they do not use them only three months as some screenshot has arrived.I say that if it were so bad and much more expensive they would not use it.

It is clear that Dexcom G6 is at another level due to quality and price, since the sensors can not be stretched very easily and how some people showed at the beginning, and the transmitters are very easily stretched with XDRIP, which greatly lowers theircost.

In addition, the laboratory does not put any problems if anyone has given error to proceed to their change, that of course everything cannot be perfect.

At the same time, this system Dexcom G6 is subsidized in more provinces so I imagine that they will all fall before or later.

Look, there is even a Nightscout user who gives bracelets and I don't know why it will be, I imagine it will make him lucky.

Do you mean those to see the glycemias at a distance, right?These people always help everyone.Logical that use the G6 almost all.

We are very happy with Dexcom G6, the child lasts a lot and have also taught us to prolong the time of use of the transmitter so this cost has been very diminished, between what we stretch it and this is another great !!!Glucose figures tell us very well too.It is a pity that is not smaller, to see the Dexcom G7 that you have already put photos that seems smaller than it is.They told us to try the Medtronic but many people to medical professionals told us that best Dexcom G6 and has been a success.His alarms and for how good they are a peace of mind for us.

Hello,

I am determined to buy the Dexcom G6 for the first time but I have many doubts and I am very lost, I am not sure what I have to buy, so I think I have to buy essentially:

- Sensor
- Transmitter

Then there are packs that make the most economical purchase but the Dexcom G6 receiver costs a paste (€ 550), I think I have read that the smartphone can be used as a receiver, if so, do I no longer have to buy the 550 550 Dexcom G6 receiver€In case it is affirmative, can I extend the life of the transmitter and the sensor with the smartphone?

Finally, is there any recommendation to buy this product more economically?I am trying to buy it in Dexcom UK but neither sensors nor transmitters or starting kits appears to buy it, the only thing I could be to fill in a form and later a commercial will be put in contact with me.I have read that the starting kit in UK cost 159 pounds but it seems to me that they only sell it to you at that price the first time you buy it, then 51 pounds every sensor comes out that is still much cheaper than in Spain.

When you mention the Skin Tac I have searched and it is not clear to me if it is a glue or a wipe with alcohol that cleans the area to hit better.Could you give an example of the aposty that you mention so that it is better stuck?I don't know if you mean a relationship like these

@Fer123

Hello, I use DG6 with iPhone 6s and it works perfect.And TB with the iWatch.I have installed iOS 13 and without problems.I do not have the receiver, it seemed very expensive and it is not necessary

There are many people who extend the life of the sensors and transmitters, but I do not do it for fear of that I have a lot of time.

All the best

GREETING

In the dexcom I have read that he has alarms when he lowers or exceeds the figures you tell him, but

Is that alarm a beep or vibration?

Does the smartphone or transmitter do the alarm?
