Why Do I Get So Many Dexcom Sensors from Insurance?

If you're managing diabetes with a Dexcom G6 or G7, your insurance might be sending you more sensors than you can use — and you're not alone. Thousands of people find themselves with extra diabetic supplies piling up every month. So what’s going on?

📦 1. Insurance Companies Send on a Schedule

Most insurance providers automatically ship diabetic supplies every 30 or 90 days, whether you’ve used them all or not. Their system is set up for consistency — but not for your real-life usage.

So if you stretch your sensors a little longer, delay application, or take breaks, you’ll start accumulating extra sensors before you know it.

⏳ 2. Dexcom Sensors Often Last Longer Than Advertised

Technically, Dexcom sensors are labeled for 10-day wear, but some users can wear them for 11–14 days depending on body chemistry and placement.

That means you’re using fewer sensors per month than your insurance expects — and those extras start to stack up.

🧾 3. You Might Be Getting Shipments from Multiple Sources

Some users receive sensors from:

• Their pharmacy

• A mail-order supplier

• Or even a secondary program or insurance channel

It’s easy to lose track — especially if you’re newly diagnosed or your insurance recently changed providers. Suddenly you’ve got 3 months’ worth in your drawer.

📊 4. Insurance Doesn’t Track What You Already Have

Let’s be honest: insurance companies don’t call and ask how many you have left.

Their job is to send supplies on time — not to manage your stock. So if you don't proactively cancel or delay shipments, you could wind up with way more than you need.

💡 So What Can You Do with the Extras?

If you’ve got sealed, unexpired Dexcom G6 or G7 sensors just sitting around — don’t let them expire or collect dust.

📲 You Can Sell Them — Safely and Legally

Many people don’t realize this, but you can sell your extra diabetic supplies (including Dexcom, Libre, Omnipods, and test strips) — as long as:

• You paid cash or copay (not insurance-covered)

• They’re in sealed, unused, undamaged boxes

• They have 6+ months before expiration
