Can you restart a dexcom G6 sensor without code?
If you do not have the code, choose “no code”. You will need to calibrate with this option, but the sensor will still restart.) The sensor will warm-up for two hours and start giving readings again.
How do you manually turn off the dexcom G6 sensor?
How to end a sensor session early: Go to the main menu of the Dexcom G6 app, scroll to the bottom of the menu, select “Stop Sensor”, and select “Yes”.
Why wont my dexcom accept my calibration?
This screen means you recently entered a calibration blood glucose value and the sensor is having trouble calibrating. Follow the directions on the screen to enter a finger stick reading in 15 minutes to restore readings.
How often should I calibrate my dexcom G6?
If the sensor code is lost, a user must calibrate with fingersticks quite a bit: twice after the two-hour sensor warmup is complete, a third time 12 hours later, a fourth time 12 hours after that, and then once every 24 hours.
How do you end a G6 sensor session?
Click yes to end it despite all the warnings. Then choose to start a new session. Choose the “no code” sensor session. Wait 2 hours and 5 min. If any pairing messages come up for the transmitter during the wait, say no. After the wait, restart the phone and open G6 app. This will trigger the phone to try to re-pair with the transmitter.
What happens in a no code sensor session?
No Sensor Code sessions: A sensor session that was begun by choosing the “No code” option will ask for 2 initial calibration BGs after warmup. After that, the session will prompt the user for a calibration point 12 hours later. If that calibration is not given, the prompt will reappear until it is given.
Is it easy to restart a Dexcom G6 sensor?
Restarting a sensor is easy. When you start your sensor session keep the code of that sensor written down somewhere because you will need it do this easy restart. (This is the more complicated way if you’ve not kept your code. It’s the second method offered, the first one is what I describe below.)
How do you Say No Code on g6?
Choose the “no code” sensor session. Wait 2 hours and 5 min. If any pairing messages come up for the transmitter during the wait, say no. After the wait, restart the phone and open G6 app. This will trigger the phone to try to re-pair with the transmitter. Accept the pairing request.

Why is my Dexcom G6 sensor not restarting?
The new sensor saying it is expired is a different issue and it might very well fail to restart. Dexcom should take care of that one, too if it doesn’t restart. I suggest you join Dexcom and CGM in the Cloud group’s on Facebook to learn more about Dexcom.
Why are there so many G6 sensor failures?
I’ve been using my G6 for a year and every batch of 6 sensors I have about 2 replaced, mostly for the placement hitting a capillary causing blood. The rep told me the sensors are designed like this knowing that there is a high rate of sensor failure due to the need for sensitivity for it to technically read each body.
