My G6 sensor mysteriously ended itself 3 days early

So today at 8:08 am my sensor for whatever reason said my session ended.  It wasnt due to be changed or restarted for 3 more days.  I have no idea why this happens sometimes.

Restart Dexcom G6 sensor with x2 and phone updated

I restarted yet another G6 sensor today using my Samsung Galaxy S8 and my x2 Tandem pump. The same instructions should work with an iphone.

Changed things up a bit

So I started a facebook support group a a few years ago and it never got much traffic.

Today I decided to alter the name of the group due to the amount of people needing help restarting their Dexcom G6 sensors.  I have helped and answered probably 200 questions about restarting sensors.  The groups are just slammed with questions.  So I figured it can't hurt to open up my group to a wider group of people and help alleviate some of the other groups with the hundreds of restart questions.

Dexcom to the rescue!

Holy moly have I been through the Diabetes tech ringer for the last 14 or so hours.

Restarting a G6 Dexcom sensor after running out of time and using the X2.

Last weekend I was so busy cleaning my house for one of our kids birthday parties that I forgot I was running out of time on my sensor session. 

Successfully restarted a G6 Dexcom sensor while running X2 Basal IQ

I have now restarted a G6 Dexcom sensor twice while using the Basal IQ software on my X2 insulin pump.

Restarting my Dexcom G6 with Basal IQ running on my Tandem X2

Today I finally did a restart of my G6 Dexcom sensor while having it run on my X2 tandem insulin pump.

The original sensor I did when I updated my pump had to be yanked off.  My tape was eating the skin on my leg.  If I go too far to the backside of my leg, my skin is like allergic to my Opsite Flexifix.  Its really crazy.

So at my 6 hr warning or whatever it was I decided I had to do my restart!

So hopefully everyone knows you can in fact restart G6 sensors.  You can follow Katie Disimone's awesome tutorial here:

We have now discovered you can restart a sensor after it officially expires, if you accidentally do that.  You can follow the same above directions or try what works for me.

Finally getting a few minutes to do my Basal IQ training!

Today I am doing my Tandem Basal IQ training online after getting the email.

It was an easy training session and I would have gotten it faster but the system kept booting me out.

Tandem has started rolling out the Basal IQ software update!

I just read in a group that emails are going out to update your pumps software! You can get the ball rolling youself for the update here: https://portal.tandemdiabetes.com/login

Now I just have to wait for my Endo to write the prescription and get a call from Tandem!
