Dexcom G7 15 day

[EOS]

I am due for a 90 supply of Dexcom sensors. I am on a TSlim Tandem pump. I requested the new 15 day Dexcom sensor but was told it has not yet been approved for use with the TSlim pump. I called Tandem to confirm and was told it was true and they did not know when it would be approved. I was anxious to try it but will have to wait.

Thanks for letting us know. I asked my Endo and he advised to wait and see what the results are; I concurred based on the small print Dexcom finding only about 75% of users get the full 15-days offered. That I recall, only one other person here on FUD has the 15-day variety. What say other’s? If you’re a G7 15-Day user, please let us all know your experience…good, bad, indifferent?

My experience is here:

Dexcom G7

There are two G7s now, the 10-day G7 and the 15-day G7. I’m using the 10-day and have pretty much since it came out. I’ve tried endo-samples of the 15-day (so they are samples and the best that Dexcom can provide) and have chosen not to go down that path. For the 10-day after swapping from the G6 I found it so much better, so contrast with your experience. For me the much smaller footprint means I do not detach it half as often. I also find the transmitter reliability greater though, becaus…

Bottom line was it was functional for 12 days, so no major gain over the 10.5 days I get from the current G7.10 and potentially lots of pain.

I ordered them for my next shipment, which I should be getting around the end of the month - I will report back after I try one! Thankfully I’m MDI so don’t have to worry about pump compatibility.

Part of the reason I stopped using my Tandem pump was because the Dexcom G7 sensors were so erratic, it was negatively affecting the pump’s ability to function well. Life has been MUCH easier and smoother using Lantus & Fiasp!
