Why is it at least 50% of the time I put on a new Dexcom G6 sensor, I get this message? I follow the instructions, yet this pops up way too often. What’s happening? And beyond whatever is happening, this not knowing whether or not my sensor will work, I notice increases my stress level. As if type 1 diabetes did not already require 24/7 hyper vigilance.

Of all the things people hope the G7 will be – that the sensor is smaller, thinner, more accurate and gives you a farther range, I’m hoping this screenshot above will be history.
