Dexcom G7 - twitching / pulsing

[martindt1606]

Has anyone experienced a twitching or pulsing at the site of your G7 sensor. Last night my arm around the sensor moved for around 3 hours. I could feel it and my wife could see it. It was towards the end of day 2 of the sensor. This is my 7th G7, previously had the G6 for over 4 years and have not experienced anything like this before. Still using the same sensor as BG readings seemed ok.

No, I’ve never had that, and I’ve been using the G7 almost two years. Has it stopped now? Presumably it was the muscle twitching? Is it in your arm?

I, also have never experienced that. Been with G7 for c.9months.

But I always put mine on my abdomen, which is so convenient for me to get the supplied overwatch on easily on my own; my wife would readily help me, but I mildly resent having to ask her.

My guess would be that you have just nicked a nerve which is causing the muscle twitch. I expect that it will settle down. Hopefully it isn't giving you pain.
