Your sensor has a 12 hour grace period at the end of the session.

You'll get alerts letting you know your sensor session or grace period will end.

The grace period gives you more time to replace your sensor so you can do it when it's convenient for you.

You can either end your sensor early or wait until it automatically ends.

Dexcom G7: Sensor lasts up to 10 days - plus a 12 hour grace period
Dexcom G7 15 Day: Sensor lasts up to 15 days - plus a 12 hour grace period

To end the session early, go to Connections and tap Sensor. You can either

Replace Sensor: If you want to start a new
sensor immediately

or

Stop Sensor Session: If you want to stop
this sensor without starting a new one

The other option is to wait until your sensor automatically ends, at this point the app will tell you it is time to start a new sensor.

To remove your sensor, peel off the patch like a bandage.

To start your new sensor grab a new applicator and enter the sensor ID by using the camera to scan the code.

Now you need to insert a new sensor and apply a new overpatch.

Clean your new site with an alcohol wipe

Unscrew the cap

Press and hold the applicator firmly against your skin and push the button.

If you need a refresher on sensor insertion and overpatch application you can review the in-app instructions.

Back on the app confirm your sensor is inserted.

Wait for sensor to pair and enter into your sensor warmup.

The sensor warmup timer lets you know when you’ll start getting readings and alerts.

Keep your phone within 33 feet during pairing and warmup.
Change ending to not show sensor box.

And that is how you replace your sensor!
