 *Loop* only uses data from the CGM you selected as your CGM for closed-loop insulin delivery, but don't be surprised at the double trace if you want to wear both during the transition from G6 to G7.
 
 !!! tip "Add Permission to Health for *Dexcom* to Write Glucose"
-    If either the G6 or the G7 has permission to write to health, then Loop will delete the glucose values that it wrote to health 3 hours earlier. That's when the *Dexcom* app will start writing its glucose values and you only want one to show up in Health history.
+    If either the G6 or the G7 has permission to write to *Apple Health*, then Loop will delete the *Loop* glucose data in *Apple Health* that is older than 3 hours and newer than 1 week. The *Dexcom* app will write its glucose values to Health when each value is 3 hours old.
 
-    If you transition from G6 to G7 (or alternate back and forth), be sure that at least the app you are currently using has permission to write to health. (I inadvertently forgot to turn on health permission for G7. By the time I noticed, I had a gap of several days in my Apple Health storage of glucose values.)

 !!! tip "Don't forget Health Permissions"
-    For those switching from *Dexcom G6* to *Dexcom G7*, you might forget to add permission for the *G7* app to write to *Apple Health*. If you want long-term history of those CGM readings to persist in *Apple Health*, turn on the permission for the *Dexcom* app to write glucose to *Health*. The Loop values are removed from *Apple Health* 3 hours after they are written if either the G6 or G7 *Dexcom* apps have write permission.
