I just had 2 dexcom g7 sensors in a row fail at warm-up. Turns out neither had the wire that goes in! Oddly, they did not want them returned for inspection. Now I’ll be checking each one prior to insertion.

Could you post the lot and serial number?
Of course. Both lot 1825059008.
The one I have on now is same lot. No issues so far, but it’s only been a few hours.

Thanks I see I’m not alone in dating my sensor flaps. I do on the back side using pencil or ballpoint

Disposable medical devices are returned to the mfr far less often than reusables, especially if the mfr is already aware of the failure mode.

This just happened to me as well- 2 sensors that failed in warm up in a row, and also a third that failed a few hours after insertion. It’s very disappointing to me because it’s only recently that I have started having any issues with Dexcom. Both G6s and G7s had worked very well for me in the past.

Did you look and see if the wire was in the hole. That is where most of my failures happen. This reminds me I need to request a replacement

had that happen too. very annoying.
It’s called “goosenecking” - if you google it, you’ll find this has happened to a LOT of people over the past year. I think they know it’s an issue because they stopped asking me to send them back too.
