Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Changing from the Dexcom G5 to the G6. Some
questions...


Hi all,

I've been using the G5 for about 2 years now, and the G6 has only just been
approved for our subsidy system.

I'm hoping someone can please help with the changeover, which I need to do
when my next G5 sensor expires.

I've been reading the Dexcom .PDF instructions about the G6, which is
difficult with JAWS, and need to clarify some issues I have.

When it talks about entering the sensor and transmitter codes, I found it
unclear whether those codes are available as  bar codes that can be scanned
with my iPhone?

If not, what do people use to obtain those codes?

The instructions say that after attaching the sensor to the skin, to break
away the safety cover.  How do I tell which part I should be trying to break
off, and how is that best done?

Once the safety cover is off, is it obvious which is the button to press for
the insertion.

Can I download the G6 app, and get used to it while I'm still using the G5?

With much appreciation for any assistance, Paul in Australia.
