[Diabetes-Talk] Question Re Dexcom G6 & Scans??

[Eileen Scrivani]

Thanks Jamie. I do have another sensor. I’m hoping my transmitter will not be  damaged since I have about a month and a half of use left on it.

Hi Eileen!  I think it will be safe for the sensor, since it is just
ultrasound waves and not radiation or an MRI.  I had to remove mine for a CT
scan and MRI.  The ultrasound tech will let you know if it will be in the
way of the scan though.  If you have to remove it, just call Dexcom's tech
support and get a replacement sent to you.  Hopefully, you have a spare,
since it seems to take Dexcom a good week to ten days to get anything to you
these days.

Hi All,

I need a memory refresh. Tomorrow I will have a Sonogram of my lower
abdomen. I wear my Dexcom sensor transmitter pair on my lower tummy.

So, do I need to remove them so the scan does not ruin them? I only just
started the sensor last night and hope I can keep it on. Thanks for
refreshing my memory.

Eileen
