[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G5 Sensor Question

[Veronica Elsea]

I have the clarity app on my phone and it's easy to look at averages there
as well. Pretty nifty system.

Daniel,

     Just as Gary said, you just stop and start the session as if you
inserted a new sensor.  You will go through the two hour warm-up and have to
put in the two blood sugars.  As for the data being wiped, that won't
happen.  The data is stored somewhere in a Siber cloud!  I have the Dexcom
Clarity downloaded on my laptop, and my Diabetic Educator invited me to
share my data with her years ago.  Now, all I do is e-mail her and ask her
to review my blood sugars when I am having problems.  She can access my data
without me doing a thing.  Because there are so many blood sugars recorded,
she typically just looks at a week's worth of data.  My son, who is a
computer tech person can look at my data and even have the software
calculate an A1C value.  It is all pretty neat how it works.

Good day list,
I have a question in regards to the Dexcom G5 sensor.
My doctor asked me to reset the sensor in order for it to last for a period
of 2 (two) weeks, until my next appointment with them. They said that if I
stop and then start the sensor session, it'd trick the system into thinking
it's working with a new sensor.
Is this statement true? Also, what would happen to the current receiver
readings? As far as calibration's, would I have to do a 2 hour warmup?
(Which might include 2 calibrations.) I'm just worried that if I stop and
start the sensor session the receiver and phone might think it's a new
sensor and therefore, it might wipe out the data to start new sensor
readings.
