Dexcom G6
Les bases en premier
Follow general CGM hygiene and setting sensor recommendation here.
Conseils généraux pour boucler avec un G6
Recent transmitters are called Firefly. Sensors cannot be restarted without removing the transmitter, which itself cannot be reset, they also do not generate raw data.
If you are restarting sensors, ensure you are ready to calibrate and keep an eye on variation.
La pré-installation du G6 avec un étalonnage d’usine peut entraîner des variations dans les résultats. Si vous faites une pré-installation, alors pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, vous devrez probablement calibrer le capteur.

Si vous utilisez le G6 avec xdrip+
If you are using a recent (Firefly) transmitter, preemptive restarts are ignored.
If you are using a modded transmitter you do not need to use preemptive restarts.
If you are using an old rebatteried transmitter, the safest thing to do is disable preemptive restarts. Though, in this case you will have to use the G6 in non-native mode (which is unadvisable as it disables factory calibration and doesn’t filter noisy readings), or else the sensor will stop after 10 days.
L’émetteur Dexcom G6 peut être connecté simultanément au récepteur Dexcom (ou alternativement à la pompe t:slim) et à une application sur votre téléphone.
When using xDrip+ as receiver uninstall the Dexcom app first. You cannot connect xDrip+ and Dexcom app with the transmitter at the same time!
If you need Clarity and want to profit from xDrip+ alarms use the BYODA with local broadcast to xDrip+. You can also use xDrip+ as a companion app of the official Dexcom app, but you might experience delays in BG readings.
If not already set up, download xDrip+ and follow the instructions on xDrip+ settings page.
Select xDrip+ in in ConfigBuilder, BG Source.
Adjust settings in xDrip+ according to xDrip+ settings page
Si vous utilisez G6 avec votre propre application Dexcom
Build Your Own Dexcom App (BYODA) supports local broadcast to AAPS and/or xDrip+ (not for G5/ONE/G7 sensors!)
Cette application vous permet d’utiliser votre Dexcom G6 avec n’importe quel smartphone Android.
Uninstall the original Dexcom app or patched Dexcom app if you used one of those previously (do not stop the currently running sensor)
Install the downloaded apk
Entrez le code du capteur et le numéro de série du transmetteur dans l’application patchée.
In phone settings go to apps > Dexcom G6 > permissions > additional permissions and press “Access Dexcom app”.
Après une courte période BYODA devrait recevoir le signal du transmetteur.
Settings for AAPS
Select “Dexcom App (patched)” in in ConfigBuilder, BG Source.
If you don’t receive any values select any other data source, then re-select “Dexcom App (patched)” to trigger the demand for permissions to establish the connection between AAPS and BYODA-broadcast.
Paramètres pour xDrip+
Sélectionnez “640G / Eversense” comme source de données.
Command “start sensor” must be performed in xDrip+ in order to receive values. This will not affect your current sensor controlled by Build Your Own Dexcom App.

Nouvel émetteur avec capteur en cours
If you happen to change transmitter during a running sensor session you might try to remove the transmitter without damaging the sensor mount. A video can be found here. If you opt for this solution instead, you must be careful to avoid damaging sensor contacts with the strip.
