What are the storage requirements for DexCom devices?

DexCom devices have specific storage requirements to ensure their performance and longevity. Generally, these devices, including continuous glucose monitors, should be stored at room temperature, typically between fifteen degrees Celsius and thirty degrees Celsius, which translates to approximately fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit to eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit. It is advised to keep the devices away from extreme temperatures, such as excessive heat or freezing conditions, as these can compromise their functionality. Additionally, DexCom often recommends that users avoid exposing their devices to direct sunlight for prolonged periods and to maintain a relatively dry environment to prevent moisture damage. It is also important to store the devices in a safe place where they will not be subjected to physical shocks or impacts.
