Is the Dexcom G6 sensor durable and water resistant

The Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a minimally invasive device that measures glucose levels in real-time. It consists of a small sensor that is inserted just under the skin and a transmitter that wirelessly sends glucose readings to a compatible display device. One of the key concerns for users of CGMs is their durability and water resistance.

Durability

The Dexcom G6 sensor is made of a durable material that is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. It can be worn for up to 10 days, and it is designed to stay in place even during rigorous activities such as sports or exercise.

Water Resistance

The Dexcom G6 sensor is water resistant up to 3 meters for up to 24 hours. This means that you can swim, shower, or take a bath without having to remove the sensor. However, it is important to note that the transmitter is not water resistant, so it should not be submerged in water.

Conclusion

The Dexcom G6 sensor is a durable and water-resistant CGM that is designed to provide users with accurate and reliable glucose readings. It can be worn for up to 10 days and it can withstand everyday wear and tear. It is also water resistant up to 3 meters for up to 24 hours, so you can swim, shower, or take a bath without having to remove the sensor.
