I called Dexcom about using the abdomen because i have trouble with my hands. They say they have not done enough testing on abdomen application, but if your doctor says it’s okay then you can apply to abdomen. So that’s what I did and it seems like it’s working great. So far I like it! I like the enormous savings in plastic. It seems more accurate than the G6.

[@jorgenavarro9513]

I’m using it in my abdomen because I’m having issues with them coming off easily when I apply them on my harms.

This is one reason why I switched from Libre to Dexcom. I continuously knocked the Libre off my arm and switched to Dexcom because I could use my abdomen. It’s good to know I can use the G7 on my abdomen.

[@pollux901]

Thanks for the video Tom! Unfortunately Dexcom is very unfair to the Android users. Whenever I get a new Android update, or when I switch my phones (from Pixel 5 to 6 and then to 7 pro), the Dexcom app doesn't work and says that it's not tested with that version. It's like we are forced to choose apple products. On the other hand, Freestyle libre always worked fine with all the phones and updates that I had. I hope Dexcom fix these issues.

[@whitelilycalla]

it is not the problem caused by Dexcom. Every time there is a new phone, Dexcom has to recreate its apps to work with a new phone version, update them, test them and get an approval. All these take time. It happens with new Apple products too.

I too was recently diagnosed with T1D, when going to the hospital after experiencing DKA, two weeks ago. My doctor set me up with the G7 CGM, and it's a real game changer.

Thanks Tom, well done! The one app feature I'd really like is a voice announcement feature at a user-chosen interval of blood glucose level and direction. For example, every five minutes I hear: " 95 Flat" or "210 Falling Fast". I exercise regularly and would really like to hear my blood sugar without any manual intervention on my part. It seems to be a straightforward feature in the app and I don't understand why it's not available. I saw somewhere that iPhone users may be able to ask Siri and this is still too much work.

[@pamelakoretsky9909]

It would bvb e a great feature for any CGM for tracking BG while driving.

[@Ephemeralkazu]

You can have this if you have an iphone and airpods/ headset you can have spoken notifications. works really well with dexcom

[@harisjaved1379]

Yes you can ask Siri on your iPhone. I did this for my wife as a shortcut, and all she needs to do now is ask “her Siri what’s my glucose level” and it gives her the numbers.

[@paleolith99]

I've thought about this often, and agree. Though I would do it a bit differently. Instead of every five minute, announce when I pass established levels, like every 20 mg/dl -- for example, "180 rising" or "120 falling". Many fewer interruptions but still alerts me when it's important.

[@bobfooddip896]

I've always used my Dexcom G6 on my abdomen and it is accurate.

Dexcom G7 is available to purchase on subscription at £140 per month in the U.K. £20 cheaper than DG6 per month. I still would love to try Freestyle Libre 3 as it is so tiny to wear on the arm and I don’t require closed looping with a pump as I am happy to inject long acting once daily while keeping to a low carb diet.

I tried the G7 after using Libre 1 and then Libre 2 CGM's. The G7 are supposed to last for 10 days but after going through a three-month supply in less than 2 months they lasted on average 6 days for me before sensor failure. I loved the continuous readings to my phone and watch but I had a couple fail after one day of use! I'm back with the Libre 2 as the Libre 3 isn't available here in NZ yet but have found it to be reliable and lasts the full 14 days. It's a shame as I loved the features of the G7. I contacted my supplier about the failures but they aren't interested at all.

One thing about the new G7 is that it is not yet compatible the new wireless omnipod 5 so make sure if you have pumps that communicate with g6 that they are also compatible with the g7. That will save you some headaches for sure. Wish I had known that before I got the g7. Plsase warn folks about this.

[@bhuvanakannan4113]

I recently switched from G6 to G7 and noticed three issues 1. It disconnects quite frequently though it is in range of 20 ft , never disconnected even if I am away 30ft in G6 2. The values are going up and down in saw tooth pattern rather it used to be smooth before 3. Does it store all samples and transmits when connected after few minutes as we used to wait 15 minutes every time it disconnects 4. Overall I see G6 values are pretty closer to fingersticking than G7 any comments

[@path8200]

I think I read that the FDA will soon allow this in the US. I wish they would hurry. But on another note, the insurance companies are dropping the coverage for the DexcomG6! When the G7 is released will the insurance companies cover it?

[@FloreFaune]

It’s coming to the USA. today the FDA approved of it!

[@red-hot_blonde]

Hope we can get it free from my Medicare like my G6. I am anxious waiting for G7. Love the idea about the short warmup time.

[@Saywhat12345]

Medicare covers Dexcom G7, usually a 3 month supply at a time. One waterproof “over patch” comes with each sensor. They can be sticky and tricky to get on. Customer service said they are working on supplying JUST extra over patches as many have called needing extras rather than opening a whole new meter box just to get another patch out. Other than that it works great.

[@seanjohnson6186]

Sounds like the G7 has some improvements over the G6 which I currently use. Unfortunately, I live in the U. S. and it will probably be 6 months to more than a year before the G7 is available here. I look forward to seeing more information on the G7. I guess I am weird because I don’t mind the 10 life span of the G6, I guess because I really didn’t like the Libre (earlier version than the latest one) because it didn’t wake me up when my glucose fell low during the night and my G6 does a good job of waking me up.

[@TypeOneTalks]

Thank you for sharing. Greetings to the US!

[@FloreFaune]

FDA approved of the g7 today I think. It was today or yesterday; either way we are getting the G7 “ early 2023 “ !!

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

You can't warm up the sensor prior to use, it must be inserted beforehand and it does take minimum 28 minutes to warm up before showing your reading.

[@waltcorey5115]

I got one two days ago. It was wildly inaccurate. My wifevheard the urgent low alarm and panicked that i would die in the middle of the night from hypoglycemia. I was in the middle of a 3 day fast and while dexcom had my glucose below 55 (us) One Touch had it mid 70s. I assumed it was correct. Ecen though it said "danger Will Robinson " i had no sweating, no uncontrollable jitters, no flushing, no mental confusion. But the alarms kept me up alot during the night despite my best efforts to mute or reduce volume.

[@R0LL1]

You can have a seamless sensor switch even on libre 3. Just activate a second sensor with the same account (second phone for the activation is need). Furthermore you can activate Libre3 one day after injection, which means better values.

[@timpedzinski230]

It looks like a lot of good changes but restarting the sensor is something I really like so I'll stay on the G6 for as long as I can.

[@chio987]

I also would restart my sensors but then I just ran into the problem where my transmitter hit it's 90 days anyways so I would have extra sensors I couldn't use and my med supply/insurance would only send me the transmitter with 9 sensors at a time as a made up bundle and not just a transmitter. If I end up with a spare/extra transmitter from my endo then I for sure do it but don't know how much of a loss it would be in my case. I'm just super happy the G7 is almost here (in the US and loop) Bolus from my phone was already a big win for me and now this snuck up on me since I was sick of watching out for the G7 so I haven't checked in on it for awhile and then just randomly saw this vid.

[@timpedzinski230]

@@chio987 My insurance lets me pick up my supplies from the local Walgreens in 90 day supply increments do I get 9 sensors at a time and 1 transmitter. I restart the sensor 2 times so 9 sensors last 9 months and a transmitter usually lasts about 100+ days. So by extending my sensors my copay costs me $40/ month instead of $73 / month when averaged out. The only complication is I have to calibrate several times on day 1 of a restart. For me a restarted sensor always starts out reading high after the warmup period. After day one the sensor reads well the rest of the 9 days.

The company is sending me another and if it’s ok I’m going to try my stomach. The adhesive they have on it needs to be stickier. The price is $150 per sensor and my insurance pays $100 so that’s $150 out of pocket. Is there any help out there for that? Otherwise I love it, it’s very helpful in tracking the things that affect your blood sugar and knowing where your sugar is!

For me when Dexcom switched from G5 to G6 it was a seamless transition. I'm in the US.

[@russellseaton2014]

With a CGMS, the change to the newer model does not cost the insurance company anything extra. You stop buying the old CGMS, and start buying the new CGMS. Unlike with a pump, where you pay the whole cost up front. CGMS sensors are 1-2 weeks and then have to be replaced. At roughly the same cost. Changing CGMS is like going from Humalog to Novolog to Apidra insulin. Assuming your insurance company approves all three, it would not care which you use or if you switch from one to the other every month. That is how a CGMS should work too.

There is a Libre Copy in China，but the price is almost the same as Libre or even more expensive

hello, good sir, what should we do, we have no money to buy a G7, we barely earn enough money to provide insulin for my 11 year old son, for the G7, it's just a matter of looking and greedy, it will be a great joy for my child to get G7 😩

[@r0ll3dd]

Sorry to hear about your situation with your son, where abouts do you live sir?

[@gymnasticstoysdolls6896]

I live in a village near Pristina, Kosovo

[@bryankeelan5620]

my quick glance in my notifications doesn't work and sometimes when i open the app everytime i swipe an alarm off it comes back instantly, pretty annoying

[@michelleemig5566]

I'll be getting one next month. So my question is if Android isn't compatible is the receiver able to go with you when you're out and about?

[@happyavacado1495]

Why is it that all the videos show the back of the g7 but they never show the side that touches the skin?!🤨🤔 how long is the needle

[@kimnellum5630]

Just found u luv ur videos but I would like to know about the continuous glucose monitor watch?? Dexcom?

[@annafashion7285]

Thanks a lot for the video ❤ is it still possible to calibrate as it was with previously dexcom G6 ?

[@TypeOneTalks]

Yes. It's possible!

[@chriswomble316]

The G6 communicates with the Omnipod 5. Does the G7 integrate with the omnipod 5?

[@TypeOneTalks]

Not yet.

[@christophera.jourat7480]

Just started G7 - #1 failed within 12 hours (called for replacement) #2 failed after 8 hours (called for replacement) #3 working. Totally wonky readings, constantly needs calibration & is VERY inconsistent with glucometer readings NOT seen with G6, vacillating readings in time periods too short to be believed. Sum total = back to G6

[@saraconnor941]

You said you can start a new sensor with the old one still in place and when the warm-up period is over, you can SWITCH. I'm not sure what that means. Is that the point you enter the sensor number or does it mean that you take the old one off???? Thanks for your help.

[@cybersal7]

Are there instructions for use on elderly arms where you can’t reach the back and your skin is tender? My threshold for pain has become incredibly sensitive.

[@ChristianGomez-ep5gi]

I wish the Freestyle Libre 3 came with a separate receiver

[@TypeOneTalks]

I think they alreday have one in Germany now. Not sure about other countries though.

[@TWIXXYT27]

I just received it yesterday and it wasn't compatible with my son's phone so had to get him another phone. My question is when i set it up after said lost connection but the receiver was ok still working. My question is I uninstalled the app and logged in now says new sensor. If I'm still using the new one that is day 1 it saying new sensor is ok because it was set yesterday.

[@candaceboyd442]

When will it be available in Canada? Have been using Dexcom 6 for years. I have a subscription with Dexcom6 Canada, will I be able to continue?

[@SithDagger]

Looks nice, how does it compare in size to the freestyle libre 2?

[@jonathansherman1525]

I have been waiting for the G7 for a couple of years I found out this month that my insurance will cover the sensors but it won’t cover the receiver I don’t have a smart phone or anything like that so I need the receiver and I was also told my old receiver won’t work with the G7 it only works with the G6 I don’t know why they couldn’t make the G6 receiver work with the G7 but apparently my insurance will only cover their receiver every five years and I was only able to get the G6 about three years ago which means I would have to wait two more years wondering if you have any suggestions or a way to try and get a receiver for a good price

[@TheVaryox]

This all looks and sounds promising. I thought about possibly switching from Libre 3 to the G7, mainly because the Libre 3 app is total and utter crap, at least on my Android (it's not in the list of compatible devices). But with the sensor still living only 10 days... and then I'm not even able to place the sensor a day in advance in order to really get accurate readings from the start, unless I'm willing to sacrifice 10% of the sensor's lifespan... Another thing (for me at least) is the look - definitely far far better than the G6, but it looks really shiny and medical. It's probably just a matter of taste, I can see how people like that slick design, but I like how the Libre 3 looks just like I ripped off a button from a shirt and glued it to my arm. Rather discreet and inconspicuous, not branded, no visible patch arond it. I don't know. I would have to try it first and see, whether the app would justify a switch. But I doubt it. After all the Libre app still does most of what I would want it to do and I've learned to live with its flaws.

[@pollux901]

Dexcom mostly never works with Android updates. I am forced to use a receiver.

[@TypeOneTalks]

These are all great points! Thank you for sharing!
