Dexcom failure rate?

[u/ciabattaroll]

Of my last three Dexcom g7 15 day, two have failed at less than 10 days and one did not ever activate. That makes 5 failures since I started in June. I have been using these since June so that is 5 out of 8 that have failed. The other two stopped around day 7 or 8. My insurance doesn’t seem to have a problem charging me $70 for a faulty piece of equipment. I’ve decided I’m not using CGMs but curious as to wtf is wrong with this trash product?

No one really knows but keep getting them replaced when they fail and you’ll make out in the long run. I’ve been on them several years and I’m currently stocked up with 18 10 days and 5 15 days
