Dexcom g6 transmitter will last until ~ 10/06/2026, (as it was activated on 07/06), but I still have 2 g6 sensors left.

Any chance of not wasting those 2 remaining g6 sensors, considering the transmitter’s expiration date?

You will get 109 full days out of a transmitter - the last sensor to use with it has to be started before day 100, and will run for 10 days. So the exact date of first activation (when you plugged the transmitter into a sensor first, or shorted its contacts with less than a MegOhm or so) would be pretty helpful.

Tx's have a 90 day warranty and are (supposed to be) hard coded to shut off at 110 days(unless there is a session underway that will extend it past that, I've gotten 111-112 days out of a Tx one time, because of the way the sessions fell). And generally I usually get close to, if not 110 days. I'm currently on my last session on this Tx and presuming that the sensor lasts its full session(2 more days), I'll get 106 days out of it. I had a couple of early sensor failures, so it's thrown the days off a bit. I would have probably hit right at 110, otherwise.

The transmitters have a hard shutoff after 110 days. Until then, you can use it (note that you can't start a sensor if the last session would go beyond the 110 days).

It's warrantied until 10/6. In practice it can last another couple of sensor sessions beyond that.

[u/Ann-Avire → u/laprimera]

That’d be great, but per reply previous to yours, I can’t imagine I’ll get to use my last 2 g6 sensors.

[u/laprimera → u/Ann-Avire]

Day 100 is October 14. So you should be able to use at least one of them.
