Yes, Dexcom G7 can be worn during pregnancy for all types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, or gestational).
Dexcom G7 is factory calibrated. Unlike G6 sensors, the G7 sensors are pre-programmed with the factory calibration setting so you don’t need to enter a sensor code. However, you will still need to enter the 4-digit pairing code provided on the body of each new G7 applicator to pair a sensor to your compatible smart device* or receiver.
*Compatible smart devices sold separately. To view a list of compatible smart devices, visit dexcom.com/compatibility
Dexcom G7 is for patients two years and older with any type of diabetes including type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes.

Dexcom G7 sensors may be inserted on the back of the upper arm (indicated for users ages 2 years and older) or the upper buttocks (ages 2-6 years old). Our research shows that back of the upper arm wear results in optimal performance*. Sensor placement is important, and you should change your insertion site with each sensor. Using the same site too often might not allow the skin to heal, causing scarring or skin irritation. Be sure to use the overpatch included with your G7 sensor; this will help ensure your sensor will remain in place for the duration of the wear session.
Applying your sensor
Applying the overpatch
Dexcom Share is a feature within the Dexcom G7 app that allows for remote monitoring. One person (the Sharer) may share their CGM data with up to 10 designated individuals (the Followers).
To set up the Share feature in the Dexcom G7 app, go to Connections > Share and follow the onscreen instructions. Always make treatment decisions using the primary Dexcom G7 app, not the Dexcom Follow app.
The Dexcom G7 sensor is indicated to be worn for up to 10 days, with a 12-hour grace period at the end.

Bothered by High Alerts after you eat, even though you took insulin? Talk to your healthcare provider about using the Delay 1st High Alert feature in Profile > Alerts > High. Use it to avoid getting an alert until your glucose has been high for a few hours, or long enough for the insulin to have worked.
Insulin and food both take time to work. Avoid getting repeated alerts while you wait. To do so, go into the alert settings and turn off the Snooze feature.
The trend arrow tells you the speed and direction of your glucose level. There are times that the Dexcom G7 sensor may be temporarily unable to accurately measure this and will not show trend arrow on your display device. When this happens, make sure to use your blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
You can see the events you’ve tracked on your display device. On the receiver, navigate to the Event Log, and you’ll see a list of the last 15 events you logged.
After you upload your receiver data to the Dexcom Clarity app or website, your events will be in your Clarity reports. Go to the Dexcom Clarity appendix for more information.

You can turn off most alerts in their settings. The alerts you can’t turn off in their settings – Urgent Low and technical alerts (like Sensor Fail) – can be set to vibrate using Quiet Modes in the app or Alert Sounds on the receiver.
Dexcom G6 is designed to not impact your travel. You can go through metal detectors, be hand-wanded, and even keep your receiver on during your flight.
Dexcom designed the Dexcom G6 CGM System sensor auto-applicator for easier, more consistent sensor insertions. We recommend viewing the Dexcom G6 Videos for a helpful demonstration of the sensor insertion and transmitter attachment process. The video is available in both English and Spanish.
The Dexcom G6 auto applicator was designed for easier, more consistent sensor insertions. According to a survey of Dexcom G6 users, 84% reported that the initial sensor insertion was painless and 100% reported that the applicator was easy to use.
For study details, please reference the Dexcom G6 user guide.
Dexcom G6 sensor replacement frequency: A single Dexcom G6 sensor can be worn up to 10 days. For tips on keeping your sensor on for the full 10-day wear, please reference the sensor adhesive tips.
To learn more about how to change your Dexcom G6 sensor after 10 days of wear, see our Dexcom G6 videos.
How to remove your Dexcom G6 sensor and transmitter:
Start a new Dexcom G6 sensor session
Yes, Dexcom G6 is compatible with the Dexcom Clarity software. Patients will not need to register again, nor download a new Dexcom Clarity app, if they have an existing account. If you are already sharing your glucose data with your clinic, the clinic will not need to reconnect. For more information on Dexcom Clarity, please visit clarity.dexcom.com.
Without your sensor code, you’ll need to calibrate twice after your 2-hour sensor warmup is complete, a third time 12 hours later, a fourth time 12 hours after that, and then once every 24 hours.
The Urgent Low Soon alert is designed to notify you when your Dexcom G6 reading is predicted to reach 55 mg/dL within 20 minutes. The Fall Rate is designed to notify you when your glucose level is falling 2 or 3 mg/dL each minute. For more information, please visit page 144 in the Dexcom G6 CGM User Guide.
Yes, Dexcom G6 is indicated for children as young as 2 years old.
If you’re seeing this message, it means that your phone isn’t compatible with the Dexcom G6 app. As a result, you can’t install the app at this time.
You must use a phone listed at www.dexcom.com/compatibility to install the app. These are Android phones that have passed our compatibility testing.
If you can see the introducer needle sticking out, please be careful that you do not poke yourself and make sure to use proper disposal methods for sharps. Make sure to only remove the safety latch after you have applied the sensor and are ready to push the button on the applicator to avoid accidental deployments. Please contact Dexcom’s Global Technical Support for a replacement sensor at 1-844-607-8398.
No. Dexcom G6 sensors are designed to last for a maximum of 10 days, after which time the Dexcom G6 will require the insertion of a new sensor.

Transmitter pairing failed to iLet ONLY (Dexcom G6 app able to pair to transmitter) | • If your Dexcom transmitter is failing to connect to the iLet, but is able to connect to the Dexcom G6 app, please contact Beta Bionics for troubleshooting at 855-745-3800. • If your Dexcom transmitter is failing to pair to both the Dexcom app and the iLet, please contact Dexcom for support at 844-607-8398. |
Transmitter loss of connection to iLet ONLY (Dexcom G6 app functioning normally) | • If you have lost connection (signal loss) between your Dexcom G6 transmitter and the iLet after initial pairing, but your Dexcom G6 app is functioning normally, please contact Beta Bionics for troubleshooting at 855-745-3800. • If your Dexcom G6 transmitter is no longer communicating to either the iLet or the G6 app, please contact Dexcom for support at 844-607-8398. |
Receiving an error message related to the iLet | • If you receive an error message related to the iLet, call Beta Bionics Customer Care at 855-745-3800. |
Unable to upload iLet pump data to Dexcom Clarity | • Pump settings and data cannot be viewed in Dexcom Clarity. That data is only available from the Beta Bionics patient/HCP portal. • The Dexcom G6 app can be used to upload your CGM data into Dexcom Clarity, where you and your healthcare professional can review it. |
Physical issues with your iLet insulin infusion set | • If you are experiencing a physical issue with your iLet infusion set such as those involving adhesion, bleeding, bruising, skin irritation, discomfort or pain at insertion site, please contact Beta Bionics for assistance troubleshooting your issue at 855-745-3800. |
Connecting the Dexcom G6 transmitter with the iLet | • The iLet connects directly to the Dexcom G6 transmitter; use of a Dexcom medical receiver isn’t supported for this automated insulin delivery system. |
Unable to progress past the warm-up part of your sensor session | • If your sensor fails during the 2-hour warm-up period, please refer to the FAQ. • If you continue to experience issues progressing beyond the initial warm-up session, please submit a Product Support Request for a replacement sensor. |
Physical issues with your sensor and/or transmitter | • Some examples of physical issues include sensor deployment difficulties, patch adhesion issues, difficulties inserting the sensor or transmitter, and discomfort during use. • See the FAQ for patch adhesion tips. • If you are experiencing a physical issue with your Dexcom G6 CGM System, please fill out a Product Support Request. |
Receiving an error message related to your transmitter lifespan | • The transmitter battery lasts for 3 months after initial activation. Starting 3 weeks before the battery expires, the warnings count down the transmitter battery life until it only has 10 days – one sensor session – left. • If the transmitter battery has less than 10 days remaining, you won’t be able to start a new session and the G6 app will show “Pair New Transmitter” instead. Dexcom recommends that you have your next transmitter on hand within 3 months of starting your previous transmitter. • If you continue to experience issues with your transmitter battery, please submit a Product Support Request, or contact Dexcom Global Tech Support at 844-607-8398. |
Sensor replacement is independent of infusion set replacement | • While infusion sets are replaced every 2 to 3 days, Dexcom G6 sensors last for 10 days. You do not have to replace your sensor until your sensor session has ended. |
Sensor session doesn’t last the full 10 days | If your sensor session ended prematurely, please refer to the FAQ. You may request a replacement sensor by filling out a Product Support Request or contacting Dexcom Global Tech Support at 844-607-8398. |
Sensor doesn’t appear to be accurate | • This FAQ may also be helpful: Is my Dexcom sensor accurate? • If your sensor readings do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter and fingersticks to determine your glucose levels. |
Issues calibrating your Dexcom G6 CGM System | • If you entered the sensor code during set up, there’s no need to calibrate. Calibration is at the discretion of the user, but the system doesn’t require it. • If you don’t enter a sensor code, you will be prompted to manually calibrate your system using values obtained from a blood glucose meter and fingersticks. This is true for both the iLet and the G6 app. • If the calibration value from a blood glucose meter isn’t accepted by the iLet, please contact Beta Bionics Customer Care at 855-745-3800. • If the calibration value isn’t accepted by the Dexcom G6 app, please contact Dexcom Global Tech Support at 844-607-8398. • If you continue to have problems with calibrating your Dexcom G6, please submit a Product Support Request or contact Dexcom Global Tech Support at 844-607-8398. |

The Dexcom G6 CGM System’s transmitters are water resistant. The G6 Sensor Pod is water resistant when the transmitter is installed properly. The receiver is not water resistant or waterproof, and can be damaged if moisture gets inside it. Water can also severely limit communication range with the G6, so you never want to prevent communication between the transmitter and display devices. This could cause the receiver to become damaged and a patient to miss a severe low or high blood glucose event or make a treatment decision that can result in injury. There is more information available in the Dexcom G6 CGM System User Guide.
If you are receiving a Sensor Failed Alert on your Dexcom G6 and your inserted sensor will no longer give CGM values, please remove the failed sensor. Insert a new sensor and contact Tech Support (available 24/7) at dexcom.com/tech-support or call 1-888-738-3646.
