Starting a G7 or One+
Starting a G7 or One+
-
You cannot have both xDrip and Dexcom app (or modified Dexcom app) delivered directly from the same transmitter at the same moment. You can only use one or the other, not both.
-
Before inserting a new sensor, use a marker to mark your old one to make sure you won’t possibly peel off the inappropriate sensor when the time comes. Maybe take a photo of it too.
-
While making sure that the sensor is not spoiled, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to use the applicator to insert the sensor.
- The session, on G7 or One+, will spontaneously start upon inserting the sensor. There is no need to stop or start anything.
- Take note of the 4-digit pairing code exposed on the sensor applicator as you will need it when establishing connectivity. Best to take a photo of it.

- You Can get a Dexcom One+ by requesting one from your GP if within the UK and you can get a Dexcom One Receiver from the Dexcom Web Site
Create connectivity to G7 or One+
- If you have the Dexcom App already installed (or any other App collecting that’s using your G7 or One+) uninstall it. Having a Dexcom receiver is OK to use, and you don’t need to disable it.
- Go to Android Settings −> Connected devices. Forget all devices whose names are DXCM or DX02 where could be any two characters.
- It's also best to update to version xDrip-plus-20240601-a6fdfc4 xDrip+ to the Nightly build 1st Jun 2024 from when I tested this. Or try the latest version.
See System Status for xdrip+ version you are on and update it if needed too. To Update To Update - Go to Settings −> Auto configure to scan the QR code shown below if you haven’t already. You will not need to do this with every sensor.
Scan the code below with your mobile, it's also a good idea to put your mobile in the horizontal position, , you may need to move the phone back a little bit from the QR code if scanning from a large-screen computer and wait for a pop up to show up.
You should see a message like this come up:
Prepare your xDrip+ settings
- Prepare your xDrip+ settings, on your mobile, as described (here). It is crucial to go over the settings and confirm they are correct. This is different than scanning the code you have just done, so spend some time going though these settings.
-
Make sure your old Dexcom used G7 or One+ device are out of range or place them inside the microwave. This is not necessary. But it will speed up pairing. Also check you removed it from your Bluetooth settings too.
Add the 4-digit pairing code displayed on the sensor applicator as the transmitter id the one you took a photo of earlier. Also, make sure your Hardware Data Source is selected for a Dexcom One+
-
Now go to the G5/G6 System Status Page and wait for a connection. Approve the pairing request you will receive if you are using Android 10 or newer.
If you inserted the sensor more than 30 minutes ago, you should see readings. If you have just inserted a sensor, you will see a warmup. Over time, the status page will fill with other data elements, like time remaining etc.
Troubleshooting
If you see “Mismatch” on the status page, it signifies either your pairing code is wrong or there is another sensor close. Confirm that the pairing code is accepted and wait for the connection.
