What in the actual world is going on?! Has anyone ever had one do this? I’m in a bad lot of G7s. This is the replacement G7 from my pharmacist for one that failed after warm up two nights ago. This one did not release the sensor and was just hanging on. It finally knocked loose as I started typing this in panic. I’ll definitely report it to Dexcom. I want to know if anyone has had this happen before.
I think I am 1 out of my last 10 lasting the full 15 days, is this normal? Super frustrated with this generation of dexcom
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a copy of the APK for update 192, in the mmol version of the application?
I live in Australia and cannot find a copy online.
I've tried to downgrade using the mg/dl, but the conversion is breaking my brain and I'm so burnt out already on all of the issues with updates 193/194, I just want the app to work and stop disconnecting. It stopped many times overnight, then overcompensated for me being high and sent me low. I haven't had a proper night's sleep since update 193 auto-updated onto my phone - rookie mistake, I thought I had auto-updates disabled.
APK Pure has up to 189, but that version wasn't compatible with Dexcom G7 and that is the CGM I'm using.
I'm on Android 16.
Thanks in advance.
I admit - I’m fairly lucky. Been using Dexcom for about 7 years now. Never had a sensor failure.
Today, I had my first one. Just inserted yesterday and today, while 90 minutes from home. So, I went a few hours without a sensor - constantly checking how I “feel” to see if I should have a Coke or eat a Starburst. Luckily, no severe issues (I think) either way.
I finally get home, take a screenshot of the app telling me the Sensor Failed - and called Tech Support. After the initial “prove you are who you say you are” nonsense and I explain the situation, the next question is, “Do you have the serial number of the sensor? Maybe you still have the box, or the applicator?”
I’m sorry, what? It’s my responsibility to document your failures while I’m trying to be a walking pancreas to make sure I simply stay alive?
How about you build a feature in the app that creates a LOG of the sensors inserted and the serial numbers and the failure rates so I can focus on everything else?
I expressed this to the tech - and I know it wasn’t her fault, she’s reading a script, getting through her day, and I apologized at the end of it. I asked if she records calls, she said yes, I suggested she share this one out. She understood my frustration and ok’d a replacement.
I own not having a monitor with me, I’ll correct that moving forward - but that request put me over the edge.
Anyway - has this happened to anyone else? Were you able to keep your cool better than I was?
For the last week or two, I have gone through 4 sensors that have all failed on me within the first 5 days of the 10 days. Has this been happening to any else or just my bad luck lately. Luckily I know deacon will always replace a failed sensor but this is getting ridiculous!
I just discovered that I don’t have one more transmitter left but I still have 6 sensors left before I’m forced to swap to G7 (I’ve tried it before, I hated it, sorry I don’t wanna hear it). Are there any legit websites or suppliers left that have any leftover stock that anyone knows of? or any resources?? I’m distraught 😭
