How many times can I load data from the Dexcom G7 sensor to the receiver?
The Dexcom G7 sensor is designed to send glucose readings to your receiver automatically every 5 minutes. You do not need to manually "load" or trigger a download for these regular readings; the system handles the data transfer continuously via Bluetooth as long as the receiver is within range (typically 20 feet).
Regarding data storage and back-filling:
If you are referring to downloading data from the receiver to a computer for reports (Dexcom Clarity), you can do this as often as you like, though most users do so every few days or weeks to review their trends.
