      - Ensure you check your CGM menuÌýfor a G7 selection itemÌýon your Tandem t:slim pump.

AMSL will send out the information for a software update or please contact AMSL if you have not received these instructions.Ìý

    To upgrade to the Dexcom G7, you will need to contact us atÌýdiabetes@rch.org.auÌýor speak to us in diabetes clinic and request an update to your CGM information through NDSS. When you get email confirmation that this change has been processed, you will then be able to go to your chemist and collect your G7 as you would with your G6–Ìý we suggest that you advise your chemist to order in the G7 before you email us and check you have enough G6 supplies before requesting us to change to the G7 in case of any delays.Ìý
