Description

Only use this app if you have the Dexcom G6 CGM System.
See your glucose number and where it’s heading with just a quick glance at your compatible smart device* with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System – Approved for diabetes treatment decisions with zero fingersticks†, no scanning, and no calibration. Discuss with your healthcare professional how you should use the information displayed on the Dexcom G6 to help manage your diabetes.
*For a list of compatible smart devices, please visit dexcom.com/compatibility.
†If your glucose alerts and readings from the Dexcom G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
Dexcom G6 provides real-time glucose readings as frequently as every five minutes. Dexcom G6 is approved for children age 2 and older.
The Dexcom G6 System provides personalized trend alerts right on your smart device and lets you see when your glucose levels are going too low, or too high, so you can better manage your diabetes. The Alert Schedule feature lets you schedule and customize a second set of alerts. Custom alert sounds are available, including a Vibrate-Only option on the phone for glucose alerts. The only exception is the Urgent Low Alarm, which you can’t turn off.

The Always Sound setting allows you to receive certain Dexcom CGM Alerts even if your phone sound is off, set to vibrate, or in Do Not Disturb mode. This will allow you to silence calls or texts but still receive audible CGM Urgent Low Alarm and alerts: Low and High Glucose alert, Urgent Low Soon, and Rise and Fall Rate. Always Sound is on by default. A Home screen icon shows you if your Alerts will sound or not. For safety, the Urgent Low alarm and these alerts can’t be silenced: Transmitter Failed, Sensor Failed, and App Stopped.
In addition to the accurate performance provided by the Dexcom Sensor, you’ll receive other valuable features:
• Share your glucose data with your followers who can monitor your glucose data and trends on their compatible smart device with the Dexcom Follow app. Share and Follow functions require an internet connection
• Health app access so you can share retrospective glucose data with third party apps
• Today View widget, which allows you to view your glucose data on the lock screen of your smart device
• Ask Siri* to read your current glucose value, using a custom phrase
• A Dexcom Clarity link on the landscape trend graph lets you easily transition to the Clarity App to view more information on your glucose trends
*Siri may not be available in all regions. Check Apple’s website to see if Siri is available in your country.

Please improve the app!

I love having a CGM, but the app isn’t as good as I expected. I bought a series 7 Apple Watch specifically to see my Dexcom readings. I was surprised how few face options there were that show it on the Home Screen. I chose Infograph Modular and about half the time the Dexcom circle is blank. If I touch it, it usually shows the graph, but it often disappears again. Please fix this!

The high and low alerts have interrupted my sleep (and my partner’s) so many times because there is no way to tell it that you’ve already treated it.

The graph is good to show my current and recent readings, but it’s hard to go back and analyse them to work out why it’s happening. I know you have the Clarity app, but it doesn’t show food, exercise, insulin etc. I’ve been manually entering insulin and carbs every day, but I’m wondering why I should bother because I can’t go back more than 24 hours to see those details. I now have 4 apps for my diabetes (2 Dexcom, 1 for carb counting and 1 bolus calculator) that don’t talk to each other and it’s a bit of overload. Dexcom is telling me the what but not the why and how to fix it.

UPDATE APP for WIDGET USE PLS

Since the recent update I’m no longer able to have my blood glucose readings on the lock screen of my phone (how I usually check it without opening it and going into the app)
because it’s no longer there when I go to add widgets?! The same was for my Apple Watch, the widget wasn’t working for a while, I updated my Apple Watch and it’s working now however, I’ve updated my phone to the newest IOS and it hasn’t fixed anything. Hoping it’s not related to the new G7 being out and this app dying because there’s a new one..
because honestly if saving all thats spent on selling us these money making devices/ equipment to keep us alive was used on an actual ******* cure like stem cell etc, we wouldn’t be having any of these problems thanks

The app has problems with an iPhone 15

Almost 3 weeks ago now an update to the app came out in Australia and now it is unbearable.
I had an iPhone 8 which is compatible with the dexcom g6 app but since the update my bgl readings were freezing up and after turning the iPhone off and on again the bgl would then update.
I called dexcom technical support who after an hour of discussion where I was informing them the app update had issues I was then told that the update was to include iOS 17 and my iPhone 8 is no longer compatible with the app so I would need to purchase a iPhone 10 or higher for the app to work.
We decided not to go through this problem again so that afternoon I purchased a new iPhone 15 but found I am still getting the same issues so I called the tech support once again and was now told the iPhone 15 is not compatible with the app as I am running iOS 17.1.1
I have now been provided with a dexcom reader to see my bgl levels as I cannot rely on my iPhone 15 either.
The problem now is I want to purchase a dexcom t-slim X2 pump but until the app is updated the t-slim will not talk to the reader which would cause many medical problems.
I definitely believe it is the updated app that has the issues not the iPhones and I’m sure Apple wouldn’t be impressed when they read this!
