Consider using the receiver if you're more comfortable with a dedicated medical
device. On the phone, the G7 may compete with other apps for battery and storage
capacity and may require certain phone settings to function. The receiver doesn't have
these limitations.

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.
