I use Dexcom G7. On 6-23-2025 I put a decompress sensor on my left upper arm, the next day(6-24-2025) it stop working. I attempted to fill out the complaint form and each time I did it said call customer service in which I did. I called several times, and it was basically a recording. I only get three sensors a month and I had to use another sensor.Business Response

I received a bill in the mail for ****** for what appears to be rental equipment for Dexcom g6 and was sent to us last week. My son has not used the Dexcom g6 system in over a year and there is nothing that would be rental equipment anyhow. The whole system is disposable. I called the 1800 number on the bill and tried to get clarification as to what I am being charged for and at first I was forced to speak to an "AI" person that does not know anything so it transferred me to a representative who refused to help me stating that the patient is over the age of 18 and they can not give any patient information out. I am aware of the HIPPAA law however, the bill is in my name and I have a right to know what I am being charged. They will not send me the ***** release to be signed by myself for my son to know what is on the bill since it is in my name nor for him to sign for me to question the bill. I have no other options than to file a complaint for resolution because I can not seem to speak with someone who understands what to do or how to resolve the issue.Business Response

Dear *******,
I hope this message finds you well. Thank you for sharing your experience and concerns.
At Dexcom, we are here to support customers with education, training, and assistance in the event of issues such as device malfunctions. However, regarding billing-related matters,we recommend reaching out directly to the supplier you previously used for the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, as they handle those aspects.
We understand how frustrating this situation must be, and we truly regret any inconvenience it may have caused.
Thank you,

I had purchased a subscription of stelo through Dexcom. I received the first 3 months. I wanted to wait a little bit longer before the 2nd shipment as it is expensive. I did not receive a notification through my email about the 2nd shipment. I was notified through my email that the item was on order and would be shipping yesterday June 22, 2025. I cancelled what I thought was time enough and was successful. The company had already took out ****** out of my account yesterday. I called the company and they said there was nothing the company could do. This is bad for the consumer who gets screwed and I couldn't get a refund. I told them that I didn't want it and would ship it back but they turned it down.Business Response

I have purchased twice a three month supply of Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitors as insurance does no pay. Stelo is made by Dexcom. I follow all guidelines when using the device to include taking extra precaution when taking a shower to have it covered to try and keep it dry. At the beginning of June, I believe it was June 4, I inserted a new monitor. On June 6 it started acting erratically, On June 7 it registered I was below a 70 reading which I never am and on June 8 the monitor stopped early and I received a message on the app this had happened. I have tried twice thru their Stelo *** to get resolution for a new monitor and once thru e-mail They advised the could not confirm my issue and thus they would not be sending a replacement monitor. I have photos of the readings from those days but have no way to send them to them as the really the only way to communicate is through the *** which is not human and does not allow for uploads or an other communication than basically yes or no answers, so I cannot provide this evidence to them. I tried through the email that they sent me but it bounced back. It is not my fault they cannot confirm my issue. By saying they cannot and not providing a replacement, they are basically calling me a liar. The photos are too big for the BBB as only 5MG are allowed although I did send one where it started acting erratically. I did not spend $82 for a monitor that failed. I request a replacement.

It's hard to conclude that these people are anything other than criminals. We pay over $1k every quarter for Dexcom supplies. Every quarter we have at least a half dozen G7 Sensors that fail. This has been true for over 6 years now, going back to their prior versions.They've always had an online way to report these failed sensors, but for the last year that form has been broken. Each quarter I go through the painstaking process of entering all of the details for the failure, but when you go to submit the form all it says is "Error." For a year now!After spending 20 minute filling out their forms, I then have to call. But now they are telling me that we are out of our "good will" allotment of replacements. So I buy your $1k product, it fails, and you consider it "good will" to replace it? No, I consider that the very baseline of ethics.I've now spent an hour of my time arguing with these people about replacing THEIR faulty equipment - all to no avail.Business Response

On June 16, 2025 I inserted and began using my Stelo CGM. It appeared to be working well for the first 2 days. It then failed on the 3rd day (6/18/25), I was getting odd readings and it would not connect to my phone via bluetooth. I contacted Stelo via a chatbot (the only option) and was prompted to fill out a product form including the serial number which I completed. I was assigned case 1-00278518. A day later I received an email from Stelo asking me to complete this product form again, however, I no longer have the Serial number because I removed the sensor from my arm and threw it away and stopped the session via the app. But, they should already have this information. If they are going to advertise their product in the way they do and charge $99 they need to back it up with reasonable customer service. There should be someone I can call to get a replacement product. These sensors should be replaced for free whenever they fail. We, as customers, are not purchasing products that do not work. It should not be legal to operate in this way. I do plan to escalate with an attorney and also find another maker of a ***. I would like a sensor replacement asap.Business Response

Purchased what I thought was a single unit to test product. Apparently they made it a subscription which is not clear on their website and sent me a second pair of glucose monitoring units. I only one of the first two since the readings were highly in accurate, I could do the same on my own by assuming that when I eat my glucose goes up. They refused to let me return the new devices.Business Response
