I wouldn't get the alarm because Dexcom works fine with Xdrip. But how I wish I'd get to day ten!

So far none of the seven Dexcom G7 sensors I tried made it to ten days. Three came off within one day, one was a dud, one failed from the start, and two made it to around day six before becoming unreliable and failing eventually.

My experience last year with G6 was that they'd start getting unreliable after day six. At least they stayed on :-/

So maybe I react with inflammation or something to their sensor probe. They just don't work for me. And the glue in the G7 doesn't stick either, which is a new problem.

So Abbott it is, luckily without their patronizing app.

Have you tried getting those bandaid stickers to better secure them? One of the two companies has them for free, but you have to ask. They are on the usual sites.
