@SmileTomato, yours is a rather vague and open-ended question. There are large numbers of threads on people’s experience with G5 and G6 transmitters on this site. Why don’t you do a search and have a look. There probably are 300-400 threads on the G5. Here is one on the G6 that describes the problems people have: > [@Repeated Dexcom G6 failures](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/repeated-dexcom-g6-failures/4801/): > > Guys, we have now been through four!!! G6 sensors in the last 10 days and I’m wondering if this is the new normal? Has anyone else switched to the G6 and what has their experience been? I’m wondering whether this is a manufacturing issue and we just got a bad lot – except this last sensor failure came from a totally different box, shipped to a totally different person, who basically lent us these out of the kindness of their heart. We’ve been doing the same things all the time and I don’t kno… One example of how you can go through a lot of relevant threads is by looking at the /Categories tab, and looking for the c/gm subcategory which has the majority of the Dexcom threads. Search is your friend 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/looking-to-hear-some-personal-experiences-of-those-who-have-used-the-dexcom-g5-g6-cgm/6619)._
