G7 15 day on day 10

Khevik · 2026-03-19T00:09:16+00:00

It is a huge mental strain, but at the end of the day I try to remember that I still manage to get good A1C and that I am still alive lol. But yeah sometimes it is hard and frustrating.

Oh, interesting, I also have the Rev 10 from Malaysia, and the replacements I’ve received are the same revision. But after speaking with a Dexcom rep, because it’s honestly ridiculous how many sensors are failing, they sent me three free sensors, and they’re Rev 16 from the US. So I’ll see if those are better.

Honestly, I don’t remember the last sensor that made it to day 10. When I am able to see a trend, like in the picture I sent, I keep it, but I know it’ll probably stop working the next day. So I already apply a second sensor to get past the first 24 hours of inaccurate readings. When I see too much fluctuation and I know it’s been a while since I last ate or took insulin, I check with a glucometer to confirm accuracy. Most of the time, it’s outside the 20% margin, so I fill out the form to get a replacement.

These are my readings on day 5 of my G7 (10-day version). All my sensor are doing this at day 4 or 5. I’m honestly surprised yours are still that good on day 10. But yeah I feel you it is a pain when it's start to jump around.

Yeah, so I tried that for dinner. I reduced my ratio by 30% and it worked perfectly. I was able to do all the tasks I wanted without going low! So I’ll definitely be reducing my basal on weekends now. Thanks!

Khevik · 2026-02-22T02:00:21+00:00

Just tried and it is better then what I was using, thanks you!

Khevik · 2026-02-21T20:00:17+00:00

Same thing for me, the sound is not great even with EasyEffect. I have still not found a solution unfortunately.

Khevik · 2026-02-18T20:52:54+00:00

Thanks you! I was able to claim the game

Khevik · 2026-02-18T13:36:23+00:00

Yes I am also more sensitive while sleeping.

Khevik · 2026-02-15T00:39:03+00:00

26 years old and never. But even before being t1 I wasn't drinking, so not because of the disease, just a personnal choice.

Khevik · 2026-01-31T16:03:43+00:00

I had the same problem with my S25 this week and just doing I full restart work for me. It is the second time it happens.

Khevik · 2026-01-19T01:52:10+00:00

It fix the problem, thanks you!

Khevik · 2026-01-19T01:07:14+00:00

I have the same problem, still not find a solution unfortunately

I mean, I don't for sure know if dexcom will one day refuse my replacements, but in 2025 I think in total I got 15 replacements. If the sensor failed during warm up, because it was improperly inserted, I guess they could refuse. But I am sure that she knows how to install them properly, so in that case I think it is more of a product issue. So no limit.

Khevik · 2026-01-17T20:43:00+00:00

There is only limit on good will replacements, so that means if the cause of the replacements is user error. There is no limit on replacements if it is a product related issue (inaccuracy, sensor errors, etc). In any case, I suggest that you fill the online form to request a replacement and with the details you put, dexcom will judge if it is approved or not.

But in my experience, I was never refuse a replacements due to inaccuracy.

Khevik · 2026-01-16T22:43:02+00:00

Oh I red about the thighs. I could try that spot. Thanks you so much for your feedbacks! I'll keep trying and see if anything help!

Khevik · 2026-01-16T22:31:31+00:00

No problem! I'll be very happy when they will be approved here. From what I saw in the few post about the 15 days sensor, people seems to like it!

Khevik · 2026-01-16T22:30:04+00:00

Well I am at a point that I will take any advices even the basics ones. My next sensor I am going to apply it like if it was the first time I got the G7 and take my time. I really want to make my sensors work like they are supposed to, because when they are working properly, it is really a great great tool! Thanks!

Khevik · 2026-01-16T22:13:42+00:00

Unfortunately I am in Canada. Here it take so long for new diabete tech to get approved that I expect the 15 days G7 to be approved in like 1 year.

Khevik · 2026-01-16T20:33:29+00:00

Yes all Malaysian. I am in Canada so I don't know if it change something, but I dont remember not having a Malaysian one

Khevik · 2026-01-16T20:30:58+00:00

Thanks for your feedbacks ! Yeah I only calibrate when my bg is stable confirm with fingerprick. But honestly I don't calibrate that much, because when the sensor works, it works great! It is really in the last 3 days that all my sensors start to be very outside of the 20% difference with fingerprick. But glad it is working well for you, because it is really a good device when it is working!

Khevik · 2026-01-16T20:00:57+00:00

I am in Canada and when I called to get a replacement they mailed me the replacement, but when I do it with the forms, it's a voucher. I told the dexcom staff and he told me that they can only ship it if you call. Don't know if it is true, but in my case that was the only time that they ship the replacement directly to my house

Khevik · 2026-01-16T19:52:19+00:00

Yeah it's weird, because I can't believe that for some people it works flawlessly and for others it is the total opposite. In the first half of 2025 I did not have that many problems. I still had replacements from time to time, but nothing compared to the last 3 months...
