Hello

For Dexcom users, when you prolong the sensors beyond the official date, 10 days for G6, what symptoms are you looking for to detect that the sensor has to be replaced?I have my first sensor for almost 23 days, with Spike, and I don't know when I will change it.How do you do it?

Greetings and thanks

@coolboy1973, greetings.I used Dexcom G4 and there was some that lasted up to 40 days.The average is about 21 days.You know that you have to replace sensor when it gives values ​​that are very far from the hair measurement value.Or many questions come out ???.

From the second restart I make a daily capillary to verify.It can happen to you to stop giving you readings and there if you will see that he is stopping working, but sometimes when you have been readings for a long time and not be real, because there another case but this can only detect it when you see strange data that you know noThey are real.
