- G7 sensors are 60 percent smaller than those used in previous Dexcom CGM systems
- The sensor and transmitter are combined into one disposable device
- Has a 30-minute warmup period — faster than any other CGM on the market††
- New 12-hour “grace period” at the end of each transmitter’s lifespan
The Dexcom G7 CGM All-in-one sensor and transmitter makes it easier than ever for users to track their glucose levels. CGM systems cannot replace fingerstick testing, but these systems can significantly reduce the frequency of these tests for people living with diabetes.
Dexcom G7® Sensor
The Dexcom G7 Sensor is Dexcom’s most advanced CGM sensor to date, with 10 days of wear time and a 12-hour grace period. The G7 Sensor is compatible with the Dexcom G7 Reader or your smart device, giving you the freedom to choose how you’d like to receive your readings.
Advanced Diabetes Supply offers the G7 Sensor in a 90-day supply to include 9 sensors total with free, fast shipping! To learn if you qualify for zero out-of-pocket costs, please reach out to our friendly intake agents for a free benefits check at 866-422-4866 or fill out the form below.
The Dexcom G7 CGM System gives people with diabetes an opportunity to check their glucose levels at a glance—no scanning, calibration or fingerstick tests required.* To accomplish this, the system relies on a small sensor/transmitter that sends glucose updates to a dedicated reader or smart device.¶
Dexcom G7 sensors are very discreet and have a low profile, thanks to the 60% reduction in size† when compared to previous models. These sensors also warm up faster than any other CGM sensor††. The 12-hour “grace period” at the end of the 10-day service life, allows users to switch to a new sensor at a time that’s convenient.
G7 Sensor Placement
It is important to change your insertion site every time you change your sensor. This will prevent skin irritation and scarred tissue. For ages two years and older, Dexcom G7 Sensors should be inserted on the back of the upper arm. The sensor can be placed on the upper buttocks for children between the ages of 2 – 6 years old.
Failure to use the Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and its components according to the instructions for use provided with your device and available at https://www.dexcom.com/safety-information and to properly consider all indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and cautions in those instructions for use may result in you missing a severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) occurrence and/or making a treatment decision that may result in injury. If your glucose alerts and readings from the Dexcom CGM do not match symptoms, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. Seek medical advice and attention when appropriate, including for any medical emergency
How often do you change the Dexcom G7 Sensor?
The sensors used in the Dexcom G7 CGM System are designed for 10 days of wear, plus a 12-hour grace period after this time elapses.
How long does the G7 Sensor last compared to the G6 Sensor?
The G7 and G6 sensors both have a 10-day lifespan. However, the G7 sensor adds a 12-hour grace period to this timespan. It also only has a 30-minute sensor warm-up time compared with the G6’s 2-hour warm up time.
How do you calibrate the G7?
When starting a new sensor, you do not need to calibrate your Dexcom G7 CGM System. However, you can calibrate it by logging this as an event in the G7 App.
How many G7 Sensors come in a box?
The G7 Sensor contains one sensor per box. Advanced Diabetes Supply ship a 90-day supply of Dexcom G7 Sensors to reduce the chances of you running out before your next order.
Can the G7 Sensor be extended?
The G7 sensor cannot be extended beyond 10 days. However, users can benefit from the 12-hour grace period at the end of each sensor’s 10-day lifespan.
Can you wear the G7 sensor during pregnancy?
Yes, the Dexcom G7 can be worn during pregnancy for all types of diabetes, including Type 1, Type 2, and gestational.
*Fingersticks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.
†Compared to a prior generation Dexcom CGM System.
††Dexcom G7 can complete warmup within 30 minutes, whereas other CGM brands require up to an hour or longer.
