Has anyone asked a question about the G7 lag time? How does the reading of the G7 compare to to G6 in terms of what the actual current glucose level is and what is read by the sensor? And also, does anyone find different lag times between G6 sensors or is this just me looking for reasons to explain roller coasting yo-yo rides??? But is G7’s lag any shorter than G6’s???

The G7 is now available here in the USA but not integrated with the tandem x2 pumps yet but will be later in the year. Not sure when it will be yet. I can't wait until it is. Looking forward to this.

Texas yesterday I can hear

Dexcom G7 is now out in the US. It will be a while before we get it here in Canada

Thanks for the Q&A. I have been using Libre and because the sensor fibre is very short and strictly needs to be 90 degrees angle, I have constantly had sensor failure or the sensor would literally pop out of my arm under intense exercise. I can see that the fibre for G7 is very short and needs to be applied at 90 degrees too, does it cause the same issues like Libre?

After 3 pretty much trouble free G6 years (tge odd signak loss & 1 falling off) I’ve now been on G7 for 4 weeks…. First sensor failed to pair on insertion 2nd lasted the 10 days but averaged around 30 signak losses a day 3rd constant signak loss and at 9.5 days it told me to replace it 4th fell off after 2 days. My phone in never more than 80cm from me except shower time so constant signak loss suggest issue with G7 Bluetooth (S’s e phone as used for reliable G6 signal). Sp 4 F7’s in and 3 replaced…. Safe to say so far I’m not impressed

Do you have to wait till your current G7 session expires before you can insert a new G7?

So it only goes 10 days? I remember reading at one point they were aiming for 14 day sensor sessions. I'm guessing they scrapped that before release. Shame.

I've been on the G7 for 5 days so far and have also been experiencing constant signal losses even when the phone is just in my pocket. Very much hope it's not a hardware issue and can be fixed with a firmware update because otherwise it has been fantastic. So far though it has been considerably less reliable than the G6.

What if you wear skin tack you know the glue for our skin and the device can’t carefully be applied even with a Q-tip or whatever it’s called in England will it stay on I’m pretty sure it will. Have you ever heard of anyone trying it.

Why does it take Dexcom so long to make phones compatible? How do they become more efficient and quicker at the process?

When will it be available in USA
