The new Dexcom G6 is well received in the diabetes community because it has several advantages over its predecessor G5:
- No calibrations required, but possible: This is great because you can decide for yourself when your values are stable and calibration makes sense. You don't have to calibrate just because the system asks you to.
- Easy sensor insertion: The new G6 has an integrated insertion aid that makes it much more comfortable to insert a new sensor; everything is done at the touch of a button. With the G5, even after 30 years of diabetes, it still took me a certain amount of courage to trigger the huge needle! The G6 has been greatly improved in this regard!
- Flatter transmitter: The transmitter is flatter and a little less conspicuous, making it more comfortable to wear and less likely to get caught on clothing or door frames.
- Running time of 10 days compared to 7 days of the previous model: You don't like having to change sensors either, so the longer running time is great!
The Zuckerschmuck team has developed various concealment options and great stickers for you to make your G6 look great! You can choose between
concealment tapes in different colors and shapes or
sensor holders . With the help of concealment tapes, you can style the boring white plaster in your favorite color, or conceal it in skin color. The inner cutout of the Dexcom G6 tapes was made to measure exactly for the shape of the sensor. On the outside, our Dexcom tape is slightly larger than the white sensor plaster, so that the sensor is concealed even if the white plaster has already come off in some places. Of course, you can also change our tapes during use. To do this, slightly loosen the outer adhesive edge of the tapes from the skin and pull it outwards away from the sensor. It is best to press the sensor onto the skin with your other hand so that it is not accidentally pulled off.
The sensor holder conceals your Dexcom G6 either permanently or for a few active hours a day, e.g. during sports, swimming or in the sauna. The holder is very comfortable to wear thanks to the elastic band and can be adjusted to your arm circumference. Our holder has no annoying clips or seams, the band locks itself in place. Choose your desired color combination of holder and colorful or plain band:
In addition to the concealment tape or the sensor holder, you can decorate the transmitter and reader with our pretty stickers. The stickers are covered with a protective film so that they look good and last for many weeks or even months. You can bathe, swim and go to the sauna with them. They are also UV-resistant:
