Can I reuse DexCom CGM sensors?
Asked a year ago
No, DexCom CGM sensors are designed for single-use only and should not be reused. The adhesive used to attach the sensor to your body may lose its effectiveness after removal, resulting in inaccurate readings or potential skin irritation. Additionally, reinserting a used sensor may introduce bacteria or other contaminants into your skin, increasing the risk of infection. DexCom sensors are designed to be worn for up to 10 days before needing replacement. Reusing them goes against the recommended usage guidelines and may compromise the accuracy and safety of the device. Therefore, it is advised to always use a new DexCom CGM sensor for optimal performance and reliability.
