[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6 calibration alert/notification

[joystigile at gmail.com]

Hi Rick,
This happened to me a couple of months ago.  I immediately called Dexcom and they said I used the same code number as the previous sensor  It is OK to use the same code number but, he said I had just inserted it too fast and the next time I should wait 20 minutes between stopping the old sensor and inserting the new sensor, if it has the same number.  Dexcom did send me another sensor to replace the one that kept wanting me to calibrate.  I did insert a new sensor and everything went great after the two hour warm up.
One time I did put in the wrong code number and it right away mentioned I had put in an invalid code number in.
Warmly, Joy

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6 calibration alert/notification

Hello all Dexcom users,

For the past day, since I have replaced a Dexcom G6 sensor, I continue to receive a calibration alert to keep glucose level accuracy. This has never been received prior and I did the calibration when I first set this new sensor and calibrated accordingly and successfully. Is this a new regular alert being put out by Dexcom or the Iphone app that allows the reading of one's glucose etc.?

Thank you for your comments. If able to discontinue or turn off this calibration alert, please advise.

Be safe/well,

Rick
