Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) is calculated using your
average sensor glucose data. GMI can be an indicator of how
well you are managing your glucose levels. Your GMI will
likely differ from your A1C.

Management Indicator (GMI): A New Term for Estimating A1C
From Continuous Glucose Monitoring." Diabetes Care, ADA,

An extra 12-hour period after the sensor session that gives
you more time to replace your sensor. Your system works

High BG. Same as high or high blood glucose. Hyperglycemia

Do you have a question about the G7 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Dexcom G7 continues to show readings 50 or 60 points higher than when I stick my finger and use the supplied recorder. Why?
The Dexcom G7 may show readings 50 or 60 points higher than fingerstick measurements due to several reasons:
1. Sensor's First Day: Newly inserted sensors may show larger differences, which usually decrease over the first 24 hours.
2. Pressure on Sensor: If something is pressing on the sensor (e.g., lying on it), it can affect readings. Removing the pressure can help.
3. Rapid Glucose Changes: Blood glucose changes before interstitial fluid glucose, so fast changes can cause differences between meter and sensor readings.
4. Fingerstick Issues: Inaccurate fingerstick readings can occur if hands are not washed properly or test strips are expired or used incorrectly.
These factors can cause temporary differences between Dexcom G7 and fingerstick readings.
