How long does the DexCom CGM sensor last?
Asked a year ago
The DexCom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) sensor typically lasts for up to 10 days. This small, flexible device is designed to be self-inserted just below the skin, monitoring glucose levels constantly throughout the day and night. After the sensor is inserted, it requires calibration with a blood glucose meter to ensure accuracy and reliability. Regular calibrations are typically performed twice a day, but adjustments may be needed based on individual needs and healthcare provider recommendations. DexCom advises users to follow proper care and maintenance instructions to maximize the lifespan of the sensor. With its ability to provide real-time glucose data, the DexCom CGM sensor aims to empower individuals with diabetes to effectively manage their condition and make informed decisions about their health.
