I got an email from my DME supplier today stating (in part):
Dexcom has recently communicated plans to discontinue the G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system in the near future, although an exact date has not been announced. For patients who are not using an integrated insulin delivery system, Dexcom recommends they consider switching to the Dexcom G7 system as soon as possible.
If you are a patient using the Dexcom G6 CGM with an integrated insulin delivery system, you may still be able to change to the G7 CGM. Please check compatibility by visiting Dexcom’s website or by speaking with your healthcare provider.
I haven’t upgraded yet since I’ve been happy with the G6, and I haven’t been paying attention to plans to retire it so this came as news to me and I thought I would pass it on. My supplier is handling the changeover - all I had to do was click a link embedded in the message. I hope it’s that simple for everyone who needs to do it.
