[Diabetes-Talk] A question

Thu Apr 6 21:52:47 UTC 2023

Les,

That is great that you now have the Dexcom G7. I am anxious for my pump to become compatible with it so I can also upgrade. In the meantime, I am really anxious to know what it looks like, and feels like in comparison to the old one. I know the device is smaller and assume that the applicator is also much smaller.  Is the sensor code on the paper tabs on the sensor like it was before and is it easy to scan with a Phone app? Is it easier to insert a sensor. Would love any feedback and descriptions you can share.
