Q: How long can I wear the Dexcom G7 CGM sensor?

The Dexcom G7 CGM sensor is indicated to be worn for up to 10 days, with a 12-hour grace period at the end.

The Dexcom G7 sensor is indicated to be worn for up to 10 days, with a 12-hour grace period at the end. The Dexcom G7 sensor should be worn on the back of your upper arm, or upper buttocks for children 2 to 6 years old.

As a reminder, read product instructions before you use your Dexcom G7 CGM System.

• Where to insert — Dexcom G7 sensors may be inserted on the back of the upper arm (indicated for users ages 2 years and older) or the upper buttocks (ages 2-6 years old). Don’t wear your Dexcom G7 sensor on other sites as it may not work as expected. If you wore G6 sensors on your abdomen, wear G7 sensors on the back of your upper arm.

• Follow the insertion instructions carefully. Extra care may help you keep your sensor on for the entire sensor session. The potential magnitude of reduced sensor life throughout the 10 days is provided in the G7 User Guide (refer to Section E, titled Technical Information, Sensor life).
