I am a current G6 user, how do I upgrade to Dexcom G7?
If you are a current G6 patient, contact your distributor. Your distributor will request a prescription for Dexcom G7 from your doctor and provide you with pricing and upgrade options. If you currently use Dexcom G6 with a connected insulin pump, we recommend continuing it until Dexcom G7 adds compatibility with your pump or pen. We're working with our insulin delivery partners to integrate with Dexcom G7 as soon as possible. Keep reading >
