What do I do if my Dexcom G6 / Dexcom ONE applicator won't come off?

If the Dexcom applicator gets stuck, don't panic. Simply remove the applicator and sensor following these instructions:
  1. Gently peel off adhesive patch with applicator attached
  2. Check insertion site to make sure the sensor is not left in the skin
  3. Do not reuse applicator
  4. If you are unable to remove the applicator or you think the sensor filament has been retained in your body contact Dexcom Technical Support for guidance.
