[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6 app, cool discovery.

That makes sense to me. There are not too many rights and wrongs here. If you don't have a sensor on when the test is done, then you haven't lost anything. I am just starting with mine and I am sure things will come up that I don't know. But as we all share, that's how we learn.

I thought since I put on a new one on Sunday I would hold back until 
all is over and not wear it.
Just some thoughts.
