The Dexcom G7 sensor has been made smaller than its predecessors. These sensors are durable. Limited to special circumstances, these sensors are not damaged. However, they have a specific range of bearing pressure beyond which functionality may be affected.
The Dexcom G7 sensor is water-resistant as well. It can be dipped into eight feet of water for up to 24 hours without failure. Hence, swimming and sweating do not affect their accuracy. However, you may only get the readings once you are out of water.
