Reordering Sensors and Supplies
Changing Your Sensor and Transmitter
How long does the Dexcom G6 transmitter last?
A G6 transmitter lasts for three months (same as G5 Mobile).
Is Dexcom creating a recycling program for the sensor applicator at launch?
At this time, Dexcom will not have a recycling program. Dexcom recommends that users dispose of the used applicator following local guidelines for blood containing components.
Using Your Sensor and Transmitter
Can the sensor be restarted after 10 days?
No. The new Dexcom G6 CGM system is designed to eliminate the need for fingerstick calibrations* and can be used for 10 days without restart. *If your glucose alerts and readings from the G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
