Travel with G7
Issue
You want to use your G7 when going through security or flying.
Solution
Security check point
You can wear your G7 sensor when going through walk-through metal detectors and
Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body scanners. Or you can ask for hand-wanding
or a full-body pat-down and visual inspection. Ask for visual inspection of any part of
the G7 in the baggage scanning machine.
Most security check points require you to temporarily give up your smartphone,
smartwatch, and receiver. When you are without a display device in a security check
point area, use your BG meter for treatment decisions.
Prepare for airport security checks and screening procedures for your air travel.
Review airport website and travel updates before your trip.

Questions and answers
changed sensor, it paired but get a message sensor failed start new sensor
The Dexcom G7 sensor may show a failure message after pairing due to issues such as using an outdated sensor version that is not compatible with certain devices, signal loss, or sensor adhesion problems. If pairing with a Tandem hybrid closed-loop system, an older Dexcom T7 version may cause an error message like "sensor not started 43t." Checking the sensor's LBL number and ensuring compatibility can help resolve the issue. If the problem persists, contacting Dexcom for a replacement may be necessary.

How long after eating does readings reach the sensor?
The Dexcom G7 sensor measures glucose in interstitial fluid, not blood, and glucose levels in interstitial fluid can lag behind blood glucose levels, especially when glucose is changing rapidly. This means that after eating, the sensor reading may take some time to reflect actual blood glucose changes. The exact time can vary, but differences are more noticeable when glucose levels are rising or falling quickly.
