The Dexcom G5 website says you should recalibrate with a meter every 12 hours to ensure accurate readings. Do you really have to recalibrate that often?

- pimeys 8y agoNot really, but you should really know how the calibrations work and understand when they might be off. It takes time to learn and understanding the basic math behind doesn't hurt. Always calibrate when you are not sure. G6 promises a no-calibration mode, but has a hard stop for sensors after 10 days. With G5 and calibrations you can double or triple the sensor lifetime (with xDrip).
