Accuracy and calibration
Issue
Your BG meter gives you one number, if you test twice (using the same or a different BG meter)
it gives you another number, and your G7 gives you a third. What do you do with all those
numbers?
Solution
The lab blood test
The test your doctor does is considered a more accurate glucose number than any products you
use at home. Both BG meters and G7 are compared to that doctor's test to measure accuracy in
clinical studies. They aren't compared to each other. Because of this, the sensor reading and BG
meter value are unlikely to be exactly the same number.

Questions and answers
My G7 sensor gave me a not paired on the pump and the phone app about 10 mins into warmup and keeps alerting that it’s not paired! Can’t find a way to stop the warmup on both pump and phone and just start new sensor then ask for a replacement
To stop the warmup process and start a new Dexcom G7 sensor after receiving a "not paired" alert on the pump and phone app:
1. Delete and reinstall the G7 app to resolve the pairing loop issue.
2. Restart the app and go through the setup screens again.
3. Begin the sensor setup on your pump first, especially if that is your preferred device.
4. When prompted, manually enter the sensor pairing code in the app.
5. If overlapping a sensor, insert and start the new sensor before the old one ends. This can help avoid a warmup delay.
These steps can help bypass the pairing issue and continue using the sensor without waiting for the full warmup.
