Dexcom G7 is in the house! Today, Dexcom G7 was launched in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Hong Kong. My marketing embargo dropped at 8AM, and I am super excited to share that I used Dexcom G7 for 2 months earlier this year. In this video, I am unboxing and apply my first ever Dexcom G7 sensor. This is the first in a mini-series of 7 videos over the next 7 days. At the end, I will do a live stream Q&A so stay tuned for that to have a chat with me and ask me any questions.
Daily Diabetes Products I use: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/nerdabetic (Amazon Blogger Programme affiliation link)
Want to buy me a coffee, you can use "KZbins Thanks" next to the share button :)
If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments and I will do my best to answer it.
You can learn more about Dexcom G7 here: dexcomevent.com
Disclosure: I was given 3 sensors as part of UK's limited launch followed by another 3 sensors by Dexcom’s marketing team at their blogger's event in London. Dexcom paid for my train fare and hotel for 1 night to attend their London event in May. I was not paid to make this video.

It’s going to be really interesting to see developments going forward, particularly Dexcom G7 and Omnipod 5 once these two talk to each other. As soon as the NHS & local commissioning sees the long term benefits of these closed loop systems set against poor management (amputations etc) then hopefully diabetics will get increased access to such items. Great video as ever 👍🏻

I have been using the Libre 2 and then the 3 for almost a year, but it was all out of pocket, because insurance wouldn’t cover it. When the G7 came out, I finally asked about it and got the insurance and Dr. to agree. Apparently just in time the Libre 3 almost doubled this month. Hope the G7 lives up to the hype. Thanks for the information, not near as worried about the differences now.

Great, now Dexcom has created a 5th discrete waste stream for diabetics. I already had an exposed sharps container and needle clip stream for syringes and clipped infusion set inserter needles, a "captive" sharps biohazard bag for CGM inserters with shielded needles and clipped infusion set inserter shells, a non-sharp biohazard medical waste stream, and a Universal waste / E-waste stream for the separate transmitters with internal batteries. Now the integrated sensor / transmitter is both biohazardous and toxic. You can't incinerate it because of the batteries, and you can't send it for battery reclamation because of the infection potential. I hope the sensors come with instructions to disassemble, otherwise this is a waste management catastrophe.

I'm looking forward to when Tandem and Dexcom will integrate the G7 with the Tandem x2 insulin pumps. I'VE had a lot of problems with sensors bleeding on insertion and had to change it out because of excessive bleeding. I'm glad it will be all one part the sensor and transmitter. It will be more cost efficient. No more having to put the sensor on and then attach the transmitter. I love that the warmup time will be 30 minutes instead of 2 hours. It is a lot smaller too. and i rather use my arms for my sensors because it works better in the arm and gives a more accurate reading of your blood sugars. THANK YOU DEXCOM FOR ANOTHER GREAT DEVICE FOR US DIABETICS.

That version is what is at the App Store but I had to delete the old version of the app before the new version would load. Works fine but Dexcom still has not addressed the issue of displaying 1... occasionally when, for example, it should be displaying 130. Going to the bolus screen and the information is correct.

@@RyanCrossOfficial we had three D7s on trial at home. Took apart one of the applicators to see how recyclable it was. It did disassemble quite well so the extremely sharp needle could be taken out quite safely and disposed of in a sharps bin. The spring mechanism could be separated and this included the small magnet. Everything else was plastic that could be isolated into distinct types. The magnet was quite strong, it could easily hold up an Omnipod on a steel sheet if we were trying to emulate Nerdabetic's lighting display. Many handy uses and not something that should be thrown away - unless there is a recycling route back to Dexcom. We disassembled the others for the magnets - no route to recycle the materials in our region, they went to the energy from waste plant.

Did you change? Why? I have been on Tandem for the past 3 months and I have absolutely no joy from it so would love to know what was your experience. In my case the pump kept loosing the communicating with Dexcom CGM (G6) I have replaced pumps, replaced transmitters and run updates with no change. Have you or anyone you know had experienced this? My next question is about the Dexcom G7 does it communicate with your pump? As I didn't hear they have yet been approved for use with pumps. Any updates on this front?

I have been using the G6 for several years now and rarely have communication problems. I wear my Dexcom on my abdomen exclusively and my Tandem on my waist. The few times I do get a communication error is when I put my arm over the sensor and only then. Move my arm and it soon communicates again. Same scenario with the G6 talking to my smartphone.

Hey. I have been using Omnipod for a couple of years now. Never used a Tslim insulin pump. Your feedback is something I hear about from many CIQ users- based on community feedback putting your pump in a pocket on the same side of your body as your G6 seems to help. At the moment, G7 does not connect to hybrid closed loop systems. I use a DIY Loop. I managed to use G7 in this system as it uses Dexcom Share as a source of information. This system is not approved and used at my own risk. Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear about your problems. I use Dexcom g6 and Tandem slim2x and rarely have problems. If there are problems, they are usually connected again within 10 minutes.

Hello @nerdabetic , important please, is the G7 skin insertion cannula vertical ? or oblique like G6 ? approximately how tall is it ? and finally can we recalibrate it voluntarily ?? thank you !
@zarasbubble1748
@zarasbubble1748 Жыл бұрын
I would hazard to say is 90° like the Libre. And yes you can calibrate like the G6

Hey, yes, it is 90 degree in and yes you can calibrate just as with G6.

Ooh man I'm so jealous 😫 😭. In Greece we only have freestyle libre 1. Nobody knows when libre 2 and 3 will arrive. Sadly, Dexcom here is not available. I hope 🙏 things will change. Best to all diabuddies

It is built with interoperability- more than G6 but at the moment it is not integrated into any hybrid closed loop system.

First let me say your videos are funny -and- informative. Thank oyu. Well, once again Tandem has failed its customers. It was not ready for iPhone's iOS 16; even though it had accesss to beta and time to prepare.. Now... Dexcom G7 is out here in the USA and we who use Tandem t-slim x2 can't usee it because, wait for it... Tandem is not ready yet. GOOD GRIEF! Any news on this front would be apprecaited and do you think I am being hard on Tandem? I don't think I am but respect your opinion.

Thanks James!! Tandem publicly promised very quick rollout following G7 FDA clearance. It has been 2 months, hoping they will publicly confirm their timelines very shortly.

I am an old gal type one. Love my G6 and look forward to the G7 eventually. I only want a receiver, nothing on my phone. Possible? Will I have to download software somehow somewhere if there is a receiver-only option? Feel free to overexplain, dumb down your answer etc. for a technically challenged person and new subscriber.
