Expired Dexcom - can I still use?

[sleepster]

Hello,
Advice needed please!
Last year I signed up for the free Dexcom trial, received the kit, put it in the cupboard and promptly forgot about it! (was waiting for my new pump and training at the time)
I found it the other day and the box says it has expired (November 2021), I'm completely clueless about Dexcom having never used one before, so my question is, can I still use it? Both the transmitter and sensor have expired
Thanks!

I don't know but in your position, I would think I have nothing to lose trying it. If it works, I have 10 days playing with a new toy. If it doesn't work, I am no worse off that if I didn't try.
Any expired CGM is unlikely to injure you in any way.

BTW I trialed mine earlier last year. It was ok but not great enough for me to give up my Libre prescription.

Good point @In Response, thanks
I can't afford Dexcom anyway so won't be giving up my Libre prescription either

I've not used Dexcom, but Libre 1 sensors were fine out of date for me at least, although I've read reports from others that they didn't get any readings from them.
