Calibration is optional for the Dexcom G7 sensor and can be performed if you have symptoms that do not align with your posted CGM values.
Calibration is required for the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system if you did not enter a sensor code when starting the sensor session on your Tandem Diabetes Care insulin pump. It is optional at all other times.
Always refer to the user guide for important safety information and detailed step-by-step instructions on your t:slim X2 insulin pump.
