So recently I have gotten a Dexcom G6 I’ve been using it for around 2–3 months and I’ve been reading up on it I’m just wondering if anyone here has any experience with malfunctions/issues with it thanks

What sort of issues?
1) Mine occasionally loses the signal, mostly on very new or very old sensors and particularly if I'm lying on it at night
2) Mine often reads low for the first day - if you install a sensor at night then you can get woken up all night with low alerts...
3) allergy issues - my dexcom rep has been very helpful in suggestions as to how to avoid/mitigate them. Don't know yet whether this will work but it's way better than the libre response where they refused to admit that anyone had any issues
4) dexcom technical support helpline - called them once when my sensor wasn't transmitting and they were very helpful.
So far I'm extremely happy, just hope I can continue to keep any allergic reactions at bay.
