On the G4 through G6 generation of Dexcom sensor, there is a trick to restart the timer. So I regularly get about 20 days per sensor. The limiting factor is really just the sticker peeling off. So you have to put some kinesiology tape over the whole thing to keep it on. The other limiting factor is the noise in the data gets bad. By massaging the flesh around the sensor, I can make the noise go away. so i don't think the reactant is running out, i think it's biofilm building up so it can't interact with the interstitial fluid as directly.
- DaFuk 2y agoRestart? For the idiots. The smart among us purchased the Anubis transmitter. No restarts required, the sensor stays in until you determine it is no longer accurate or it stops working. The battery is also replaceable.

- xeromal 2y agoIdiot seems like a harsh word to use
- geor9e 2y agoThat's neat. I'm not sure why you think hearing about this first makes you smart though, or me an idiot. Weird thing to say. I used to get G5 battery changes from a lady on Facebook who would drill and epoxy the transmitter. Once G6 came out she stopped offering it, and I haven't kept up with the underground news. I'll probably order one - $130 for 6 months is about the same as my insurance copay is charging me for transmitters.
