Now that isn't the cartridge?
How do you know when it is time to replace each one.

> Hi,

> The Dexcom 6 sensors are good for only 10-days. The transmitters only last
> 30-days. You do not need to use the receiver if you download the app to your
> smart-phone. I have doubts that Walgreens covers these but worthy of your

> Remember, this is a Medicare part B product and you will pay 20% of the
> cost. I believe your cost every 90-days may be more than $100 for your
> 90-day supply. Remember to order your over-lay patches when you order your
> supplies. These are of no charge or free and they do help the dexcom stay in
> place through showers for example.

> Best of luck,
