I would also like to know what happened because for me, the G6 has been way more accurate than the G5 was. I did have one sensor that was really crazy for the first 24 hours but then settled down after I recalibrated a bunch. But that's one sensor in a year and a half. I'm assuming you had it long enough to go through more than one box of sensors. I sure hope the problem isn't your meter.
I'm so sorry things didn't work out for you. But clearly, several of us are interested in the details, and in you of course. Keep us posted.

How are you getting false readings. Sorry to hear about your experience with dexcom g6.i have the g5 and its worked for me for the past 2 or so years.i am a bit hesitant to update to the g6 for these concerns.i will just use the dexcom g5 till there is a reason to go to the g7 or whatever will be the next gen dexcom in the next few years .

I just canceled my DexCom G6 because of too many false readings. Can't have that.

Yes I am waiting for dex com to call me.
I got a message that said they would call after Thanksgiving, so waiting for that.
I can't wait to get started.
