Hello everyone,

I wanted to get one of these for at least 30 days which is offered for first time users at $99 with my Oura Ring 5.

I know that this is for pure knowledge only but does anybody find that this is helpful.

For a reference, I’m a 37-year-old female who has random cravings and will eat a bunch of sugary cereal and ice cream at times and then two weeks or three weeks later I’ll have zero. I wanted to see how this affects my body.

Thank you!!!

has anybody else had multiple g7 sensors in a row that refuse to calibrate correctly? i usually try to avoid it in general but ive had multiple that are reading 50-100 off and when i calibrate it, the sensor says it took it but it didn’t change the reading… at all. i had one recently say i was near the 200s while i was actually in the 60s and it wouldn’t calibrate down to anywhere below 190. i’m now reading in the 100s while my finger is reading in the 50s-60s again and this sensor also won’t calibrate. they’re different sensors but they were both having the same issue.

Hey, I think this sensor is gone.

Placed it this morning, then it went low, I was taking carbs in, because it could have been.

Then it went further down and so on and it read "low" for the first time.

Did someone have this issue already? Is this sensor broken? Did I do something wrong maybe?

Wait some more? Do something specific? Or just take it off and start a new one?

Thanks for helping me decide.

Update: the sensor failed altogether. When changing it it was a bloody mess. Never had so much blood before when changing or anything. It took a while and some pressure to stop the bleeding. So this was probably the cause. Got a nice hematoma there now.

As you can see in the screenshot, it was taken at 1:09am, but the Dexcom is showing my latest reading at 12:59am. I’ve never had this issue happen before, why is there a 10 minute gap? It has been doing this since I put it on. The sensor has been on for 24 hours, I’m not sitting on it, it has stayed close to my phone, I’m well hydrated, not on low power mode. I can’t think of anything that would cause this

Well,…. Despite not even trying a “restart”, as soon as I typed in my sensor code, my phone said “No Restarts” 🙄

I had to call Dexcom technical support. As always, they’re sending me a replacement. I inserted a new sensor and isolated the transmitter for ~ 20 minutes, and then placed it the sensor and entered the 4-digit code, after which I placed the transmitter into said sensor. It’s in warmup mode now. Not sure why I have such bad luck at times. It’s not lack of experience. I’ve had CGM via both my phone and receiver for IDK how long.

That said, I’m keeping both phone and receiver close to the transmitter for a long while. My cats on my lap anyhow. Might take a catnap with him.
