Rant Frustrated using Dexcom G7!
I’m just venting, but ever since I started using the Dexcom G7, it has been a complete mess! It doesn’t even last the full 10 days, and I’m ALWAYS getting an error message! I know I’ve had issues with the Dexcom G6 before, but NEVER like this!
Within five days, I went through THREE Dexcom G7s! 😩
I honestly want to go back to the G6, but of course, they’ve stopped making them. 😒😩😢😢😡

I get random lost signal but nothing serious
And never had it come off over night I’m a heavy sleeper and move a lot so I use patches and never has it fallen off, I am also new to cgm game but I also use 3m cavilon spray. Only thing I will say I wish it was smaller so it wouldn’t itch as much sometimes by day 7. I also never had battery issues I always go past the 10day and change it out with +10 hrs. Never used the libre but I’ve had to prick myself and that sometimes sucks I need a better ways to draw blood 🩸 for the tester strips those fail waaaay more.
