G5x sensor sessions last seven days. This chapter reviews what you should
expect when your session is about to expire, and removing the sensor and
transmitter. It also covers how to determine if you need to end your session
early.
After this chapter, you will be able to:
• Identify replace sensor notifications at the end of a seven-day sensor
session
• Recognize when you have to end a sensor session early
• Successfully end a sensor session early
o Identify how you can prevent sensor session failures
• Remove your transmitter holder with transmitter attached
• Separate transmitter from its holder
• Determine if transmitter can be used for another sensor session
• Pair a new transmitter
To keep up with your glucose trends, it’s important to begin a new sensor
session as quickly as possible. After a sensor session ends, the sensor stops
taking your sensor glucose readings. You won’t get your trends, nor will you
get any Alarm or Alerts.
Before stopping a session and removing the transmitter and its holder, review
the following safety statements to make sure you don’t harm yourself.
