sloarb,

Throughout each 10-day period, how often do you calibrate using a standard glucose meter and fingerstick, as described in the Dexcom users guide?

It is a Dexcom G6. It self calibrates when you apply the patch and input the sensor code in the app. It takes 2 hours for calibration, then stays calibrated for 10 days.

If you don’t put in the sensor code there is a manual procedure with using the glucose monitor. But I have never used it.

This is a new device. I have only had it for a month.
