Should I Change Dexcom G5 Sensor?

[donnac1968]

Hi everyone
I’m still on my first Dexcom G5 sensor but it has now been going for 29 days so I’m into the 5th week. It isn’t showing any sign of failing yet but would it be best to change it now?
It isn’t sore and is still well stuck down but I’m wondering if there will be any problems leaving it in too long? Skin and infection wise I mean?
Any thoughts?
I’m kind of interested to leave it to see just how long it will go on for!!

I'd keep it on if it was me.

Its great that u have kept it stuck on so well. Have you got it on your abdomen or arm? What plasters/tape are you using?

Thanks. I've had a look at them before but they always seem to be out of stock.
