[QUOTE="jackois, post: 2144065, member: 99684"] Hi, I've been using the G6 since it was introduced and never had a failure of a sensor or transmitter. Occasionally I'll get a sensor error which usually sorts itself within half an hour or on a phone reboot. There are a lot less posts on any of the forum about sensor failure with the dexcom than other blood sensors. I've never had one fall off or cause skin problems as I did with the Libre. With reference to accuracy and finger testing, I still test, usually first thing in the morning to check sensor accuracy and occasionally more often if my senses tell me the reading given by the sensor isn't right. Allowing for the interstitial lag I've had to calibrate possibly half a dozen times. Even though I believe the G6 to be both accurate and reliable, I do still carry my finger testing kit with me along with insulin & jelly babies which I rarely need outside the house. I've never needed to restart a sensor as I have the subscription and that means I don't have a need to extend sensor life. Hope your experience improves. [/QUOTE]
