Chapter 8
Let’s G5! The Basics:
Ending Your Sensor Session and Transmitter
Session
8.1 Introduction
Dexcom G5 sensor sessions last seven days. This chapter reviews what you should expect
when your session is about to expire and removing the sensor and transmitter. It also covers
how to determine if you need to end your session early.
After this chapter, you will be able to:
• Identify replace sensor prompts at the end of a seven-day sensor session
• Recognize when you have to end a sensor session early
• Successfully end a sensor session early
• Identify how you can prevent sensor session failures
• Remove your sensor pod with transmitter attached
• Separate transmitter from sensor pod
• Determine if transmitter can be used for another sensor session
• Pair new transmitter
To keep up with your glucose trends, it’s important to begin a new sensor session as quickly
as possible. After a sensor session ends, the sensor stops taking your sensor glucose
readings. You won’t get your trends, nor will you get any Alarm or Alerts.
Before stopping a session, and removing the sensor pod and transmitter, review the following
safety statements to make sure you don’t harm yourself.
