[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1020332, member: 211504"] John, not sure if you have the Dexcom G4 system, but on both the G4 and G5 there are three basic parts: receiver (handheld device), transmitter (sends the Bluetooth signal), and sensor(what's actually inside your skin. The sensors will automatically stop after 7 days but you can reset them without having to replace with a new one. That's how people are getting 2-3 weeks out of a sensor. The G5 transmitter is the big one in question. So far this is what I know: after 90 days, you get an alert that essentially says "low battery". Then a 22 day grace period starts to give you time to order a new one. The unknown is around what happens at the 112day mark. We don't yet know if the transmitter shuts off for good at that point or if it can be restarted to use longer (similar to the sensors) [/QUOTE]
