Dexcom G7 Sensor Medication Guide
What are the main uses of the Dexcom G7 Sensor, and how does it help in each case?
The Dexcom G7 Sensor, a part of the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, is indicated for managing diabetes in people 2 years and older. It replaces fingerstick blood glucose testing for treatment decisions. The system helps detect low and high glucose levels. This allows both immediate and long-term therapy adjustments.
It also connects with automated insulin dosing systems. This makes diabetes management easier.
The Dexcom G7 can be used alone or with other medical devices. It provides continuous glucose monitoring to improve diabetes care.
What are the active and inactive ingredients in Dexcom G7 Sensor?
The Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System consists of a sensor, transmitter, and adhesive patch combined into a single unit.
The sensor is a small wire that sits under the skin to measure glucose levels in interstitial fluid.
The transmitter is built into the sensor and sends glucose readings to a display device.
The adhesive patch keeps the sensor in place on the skin.
The system also includes an applicator for easy insertion. Each sensor is designed for up to 10 days of use, with an additional 12-hour grace period.
What are the instructions for using the Dexcom G7 Sensor?
Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly.
Use the Dexcom G7 sensor as instructed to monitor your glucose levels. Insert the sensor on the back of your upper arm. Children aged 2 to 6 years can also use the upper buttocks.
Clean and dry the insertion site before applying the sensor. Do not place it on irritated skin, scars, or areas with excessive hair.
After insertion, wait for the 30-minute warm-up period before using readings. Keep your display device within 33 feet of the sensor for continuous monitoring. Change the sensor every 10 days or when you receive a sensor expiration alert.
If your glucose readings do not match your symptoms, confirm with a blood glucose meter. Avoid MRI, CT scans, and diathermy treatments while wearing the sensor.
When should the Dexcom G7 Sensor not be used?
Do not use the Dexcom G7 Sensor if you are on dialysis or critically ill. Sensor readings may be inaccurate.
Avoid using it if you cannot check your blood glucose with a meter when needed. Do not wear any part of the sensor during an MRI or diathermy treatment. Magnetic fields and heat can damage the sensor and cause wrong readings.
Skip using it if you are taking hydroxyurea. This medicine can make glucose readings look higher than they are.
Do not insert a sensor past its use-by date. It may not work correctly. If the sensor wire breaks under your skin, do not try to remove it yourself.
Contact your doctor if you have redness, swelling, or pain at the site.
What are the common and serious side effects of the Dexcom G7 Sensor?
Common side effects: Skin irritation, redness, itching, or rash at the sensor site. These reactions are usually mild and go away within a few days.
Serious side effects: Infection, swelling, or severe allergic reactions at the insertion site. If you notice redness, pain, or pus, contact your doctor. If the sensor wire breaks under your skin and you cannot see it, do not try to remove it yourself. Contact your doctor immediately.
This list of signs is not complete. In case you experience other signs, contact your doctor immediately.
What precautions should be taken while using the Dexcom G7 Sensor?
Before you take Dexcom G7, tell your healthcare provider if you have:
- A medical condition that affects blood circulation or skin sensitivity
- Allergies to adhesives or sensor materials
Make sure to clean and dry your skin before inserting the sensor. Do not apply lotions, perfumes, or sunscreen near the sensor site.
Avoid placing the sensor on irritated skin, scars, or areas with excessive hair.
Keep your display device within 33 feet of the sensor for accurate readings. If you lose connection, move closer and wait for it to reconnect.
Do not use the sensor during MRI, CT scans, or diathermy treatments. Heat and magnetic fields can damage it.
Check your glucose with a blood meter if your symptoms do not match the readings. Replace the sensor every 10 days or sooner if needed.
