Dexcom G6 CGM System
General
I lost my sensor code. What do I do?
Without your sensor code, you’ll need to calibrate twice after your 2-hour sensor warmup is complete, a third time 12 hours later, a fourth time 12 hours after that, and then once every 24 hours.
How long does the Dexcom G6 transmitter last?
A G6 transmitter lasts for three months (same as G5 Mobile).
Do I need to use my receiver?
You have the option to use only the app, only the receiver, or both at the same time.
How can I avoid iritated or sensitive skin caused by the sensor adhesive?
