Attention-diabetics:

IndyMo — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 23:47:05 GMT

Should your Dr. or Specialist prescribe Dex-Com system of constant-read glucometer, be aware that I experienced four malfunctioning arm sensors within a six-moth period, and when I wrote to complain, they simply put me on "ignore". So I would advise asking for an alternative to that product which apparently will not warranty their off-shore manufactured instruments.

Don’t know if any of theses are the same type situation but they do issue warnings when there is a malfunction.

ALWAYS check the FDA site for any specific recalls - they are listed by product and S/N

FDA.gov 07/17/2025 - Continuous Glucose Monitor Receiver Recall: Dexcom, Inc. Removes Certain Dexcom G6, G7, ONE, and ONE+ Receivers Due to Speaker Malfunction That May Cause Missed Alerts for Dangerous Blood Sugar Levels

So today, I must issue an apology to Dex Com. Wouldn't you know, the very day after I lost patience in not hearing from them, and posted the above, when I went to my pharmacy,THERE were more product, than the number I had complained about, so Yes, Dex Com does indeed warranty their product, and I'm placing therm back on the "recommended" list, after all, their constant-read instruments are a big help in alerting to high & low glucose readings as they happen, so it sure beats sticking fingers four or five times a day, doesn't it? Apologies, Dex-Com for being too impatient !

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's frustrating when critical tech fails. For anyone else having issues, it might be worth checking the official Continuous Glucose Monitor Receiver Recal l to see if your specific device is affected. Staying informed is the best way to handle these malfunctions.
