There may be times when the numbers temporarily don't match, but are likely to become closer
over time. For example:
Sensor's first day: With newly inserted sensors, the differences between your BG meter
l
value and the sensor reading may be greater. Generally, the numbers get closer over the
first 24 hours.
Pressure on sensor: Sometimes when something is pressing on your sensor, for example,
l
if you're lying on it, it can affect your sensor readings. Relieve the pressure and the
numbers should get closer.
To determine what to do, watch your sensor readings over several hours. If the sensor readings
are always higher (or always lower) than your BG meter values, consider using a different BG
meter or calibrating G7 using your BG meter. Also consider calibrating your G7 using your BG
meter if your G7 and BG meter numbers don't match, and your expectations or symptoms fit the
BG meter value, not the sensor reading.

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.
