Quick answer: The Dexcom G7 Starter Pack is a complete bundle to begin continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) - it typically includes 3 Dexcom G7 sensors and 1 Dexcom G7 Receiver, giving you everything needed to start without buying the sensors and receiver separately. With each sensor lasting up to 10.5 days, the pack provides about one month (up to 31.5 days) of monitoring. Readings update every 5 minutes with no fingersticks or calibration. A prescription is required. For ages 2 and up.
What's included
- 3 × Dexcom G7 sensors (all-in-one sensor + transmitter; each lasts up to 10.5 days)
- 1 × Dexcom G7 Receiver (handheld touchscreen display device)
- Insertion applicator with each sensor
What is the Starter Pack for?
This bundle removes the guesswork from getting started with the Dexcom G7. The sensors are the wearable part — each combines the sensor and transmitter into one disposable unit about 60% smaller than the older G6, with a 30-minute warm-up. The receiver is a dedicated handheld device that displays your real-time glucose readings and alerts, and it works independently without a smartphone (though you can also use the Dexcom G7 app on a compatible phone if you prefer). Together they give roughly one month of continuous monitoring out of the box.

Is it compatible with my needs?
This is a complete G7 starting point — no separate display device needed, since the receiver is included. The system also works with a compatible smartphone (Dexcom G7 app) and with the Omnipod 5 and Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pumps. The standard Dexcom G7 (10-day) is for ages 2 and up; the separate Dexcom G7 15-Day sensor is a different product cleared for adults 18 and over.
