If you sell extra Dexcom G7 supplies to Cash for Diabetics, we have some exciting news — along with an important pricing update you should know about.
Dexcom has released a newer version of the G7 sensor — the Dexcom G7 15-Day — which offers longer wear time and slightly improved accuracy over the original 10-day G7. As this newer sensor becomes more widely available and the 10-day version is gradually phased out, we’ve updated our pricing to reflect the change.
Updated Payouts
- Dexcom G7 15-Day Sensor: $60
- Dexcom G7 10-Day Sensor: $40
How to Tell the Difference Between G7 and G7 15-Day
This is the part that matters most. The two sensors look nearly identical — same size, same design, same applicator. The difference is on the box.
Check the product logo on the front of the box. The 15-day version will say “G7 15 Day” right in the logo. If the box just says “G7” with no mention of “15 Day,” you have the original 10-day sensor.
That’s the quickest and most reliable way to tell.
If you’ve already opened the box or want extra confirmation, there are two other ways to check:
- Warm-up time: The G7 15-Day sensor takes 60 minutes to warm up after insertion. The original G7 warms up in 30 minutes. If your app shows a 60-minute countdown, you have the 15-day version.
- The Dexcom G7 app: When you pair a sensor, the app will indicate whether it’s a G7 or G7 15-Day sensor.
What’s Different About the G7 15-Day Sensor?
Beyond the longer wear time, here are the key differences:
- Wear time: 15 days + 12-hour grace period (vs. 10 days + 12 hours for the original)
- Accuracy: Slightly improved at 8.0% MARD (vs. 8.2%)
- Warm-up: 60 minutes (vs. 30 minutes)
- Age indication: Currently approved for adults 18+ only (the 10-day G7 is approved for ages 2+)
- Monthly usage: You’ll need about 2 sensors per month instead of 3
Both versions use the same Dexcom G7 app and work with the same devices and insulin pumps.
Why Did the Pricing Change?
The 15-day sensor is Dexcom’s latest product and represents the future of their CGM line. We’re increasing the payout for the G7 15-Day sensor to $60 to reflect its value. As the original 10-day sensor is being phased out, that payout is now $40. Our payouts always reflect current market conditions, and this update ensures we’re offering fair, transparent pricing on both products.
What Should You Do?
Before you send in your Dexcom G7 supplies, take a quick look at your boxes. Check for the “15 Day” label so you know exactly what you have and what to expect for your payout.
If you have the newer 15-day sensors, you’ll now get $60 — that’s more than before! If you have the original 10-day sensors, your payout will be $40.
