Thanks. Our 11 yr old granddaughter who stays with us on a regular basis just got this and this is very helpful. Especially love how you can adjust the setting time frame before you actually get an alert.

Very educational, Justin! I just started using the G7, and this is helping me to get off to a great start!

[denisewashington]

You're a real lifesaver because I was puzzled as to why I couldn't hear any of my alarms during my low-sugar moments. 😩😩🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

[yedidyah-jedshlomoh]

Your video is great! My wife has the G6 and is just starting the G7. Thank you so much!

[jonohoffman]

Do you watch this enough to respond to questions? You are well put together with your information and i want to point some questions to you if its ok. I'm about to walk out the door but will update this later if your ok with questions. I'm about the most unstable high maintenance diabetic you'd ever meet and you seem like a great guy to ask!

Dexcom G7 is a good device. However, precaution on possibility of its 4mm probe remaining inside your arm. The last sensor failed to warm and Dexcom app flagged its failure and said to remove and replace. But its probe remained in my right arm, which I’m having surgery scheduled for its removal on Monday.

[marisafitzgerald]

Thank you for your help and knowledge! Could not figure out my question but you showed me how to calibrate my sensor! Thank you

[Romantico]

I have G6, and I have the transmiter, which I am a huge fan of, not to worry if the phone is not compatible or not, I am happy with that and work great 😊.

I have two questions first question is I know you use a lot of Apple products but do you have any suggestions for an Android phone user that wants to use a watch a smartwatch to watch their Dexcom 7 readings second question is do you see any difference in your readings when you use your G7 on your abdomen

[iammrshane]

Awesome video, quick question tho, on a android, does the media volume have to be up to be able to hear the g7 alerts? Like with my freestyle 3, I cld watch a YouTube vid on low volume when I was going to bed, and if I had a low, the freestyle alarm would be loud "which is good for me" but the g7 alerts are low if my media is low😢

[kdbjones]

Thanks for the run-through. May I make a suggestion though? Fo those of us who just started, it would be helpful if you could have pinpoints or highlights where you are clicking on and go just a little slower!

[davemitchell]

Thanks so much, Justin. You helped me with a couple of issues.

[lynnearcher]

I really like the way you breakdown every single detail. I wanted to know if there’s a way to change the background color to dark or dark mode to be able to see the graph more easily?

[davidpattyhackett]

Thanks for this video! I have been on a week but no BMI has shown up. When will this happen?

[Saywhat]

Do you mean there is a different app other than Clarity on my iPhone that I should be using to track my dad’s sugar levels? Is it called “Dexcom”? Confused newbie

Dr. said he can share readings with 5 people max. You mention up to 10? How do I add more than 5?
Thank you- daughter helping Dad. We are learning together.

[RebeccaLenkowski-ykkz]

How can I see a chart of my daughters numbers rather than dragging my finger across the screen to see the numbers? I’m interested in seeing the numbers since day one of having the dexcom. For reference she has only had the dexcom for 7 days so we are brand new to this. Checking her sugar and managing lows is all brand new to me. I plan to go through and watch more of your dexcom g7 videos to help me learn, thank you for this!

[RaulHRivas]

Is it possible to see a chart of, say, three days or a week instead of 24 hours? Thanks in advance!

[sueg]

Question: Can I wear the G7 on my stomach like you are showing? I am a side sleeper. And I am new to the G7 and will be following your app instructions for iPhone.
I have not even put the first sensor on yet. I am still trying to fiqure it all out.
Many thanks for your help. New subscriber.

[rogerchen]

Very helpful for setting up G7. Thank you! Just like to know how to change the reading from mmol/L to mg/dl On my Dexcom?

[davidedsall]

dexcom g7 app should allow entry of oral AODM meds and testosterone and T# and T$ they all affect glucose levels. also protein intake as protein is converted to glucose when you eat more protein that you are using for building all cells in your body. Currently you can only do carbs and insulin.
