Remove while using sensor
To remove old sensors from the Bluetooth connections list while you are wearing one,
follow the above steps and keep these tips in mind:
All Dexcom sensors are listed as not connected, even the current one. The current
sensor's status changes to connected during the few seconds every 5 minutes when
it's sending your sensor reading to your phone. If you watch the list for up to 5
minutes, you'll see which sensor is the current one.
Don't worry if you remove the current sensor. Within 5 minutes, the sensor will send
your next sensor reading to your phone and the sensor will reappear in the Bluetooth
connections list. (If you use an iPhone, it will prompt you to re-pair the sensor–no
pairing code needed. Android phones do this automatically.)

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.
