Looking forward to getting the t:slim x2 updated to work with this. The part I look forward to the most is the short startup period. It always feels a bit like a gamble when you change the sensor. You never know where you'll be when the sensor finally States to again.

Scott, the G6 sensors, IMO, are the big problem with the Dexcom G6. Personally, I have a 1 in 3 or 4 sensor failure rate. They either fail early or, worse, they give radically incorrect readings. Case in point, I was awakened at 3 AM a few nights ago and the device said my BG was 49. Half awake, I stumbled off to the kitchen. I keep a finger poke BG testing device in a drawer there because of previous incorrect middle of the night readings from the G6. I checked my BG using a drop of blood and it came back at 102. This has happened to me multiple times. Middle of the night strident alarm and then incorrect readings. Usually this occurs either with a new sensor or one that is in day 7 or later. I have repeatedly talked with Dexcom about this and have not gotten any good answers from them other than apologies and replacement sensors. I am concerned Type 1 diabetics not as experienced as I am (46 year Type 1), elderly people or children may make critically important treatment decisions based on these incorrect readings.

REALLY would have loved if they would have added a small number next to the glucose number... with it being the change since last reading... like sugarmate has and whom they bought out. VERY handy feature. Looking forward to the 7 though!!!

thats awesome ty for the video, i hated having to get on my pc just to see clarity reports

[alexandredemers]

Do you know if they updated the app on the watch as well? I hate it so much. I prefer using sugarmate with the calendar sync feature 😅

I leave my phone on a stand up charger turned on at night with the lowest light setting on the phone so when / if I wake up I can see my glucose reading. I’ve fashioned a cardboard overlay to block the iPhone screen except a hole cutout for just the glucose number. It would be nice to have a night mode feature where you could shut off the light to everything but the glucose number so the rest of the phone screen is not so bright. Does anyone else do this or something this?

I keep being told to use my arm for the sensors but they do not stay on because I have very flabby arms from weight loss. I’ve been putting the sensors on my abdomen and keep getting chewed out by their tech support when I call for replacement sensors when it comes off. Yet none of the research regarding sensor placement supports arms over abdomen. I may need to change companies.

Thanks for Vid! I am most looking forward to short setup time - 2 hours is too long. DO YOOU KNOW ANY RUMORES ABOUT USA RELEASE DATE ????

Unfortunately, Dexcom g7 not compatible with Omnipod 5.

[dianarodriguez]

Does anyone know if G7 has widget option in iPhone? I don’t see it used to like to see widget on phone without unlocking.

[thorritz]

But will it work on newer phones like pixel 6. The current app I had to really do some work around to get it to run on my phone.

[georgeoverly]

Will this app be backwards compatible with the G6?

[allencoyle]

Speculation of when G7 will be released in USA. I say 4th quarter if we’re lucky!

[diabetesdailydigest]

What feature are you most excited about???

[WTFlacky]

Do you still need to have your location turned on for the app to work???

Hi all,

My name is Yamini and my team is conducting a study for Dexcom G7 that is recently launched in the market. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to use the device and share their user experience with us while using the device (if Type1 Diabetic/Type 2 Diabetic). We will not only provide the device but also offer an honorarium to the volunteer.
If you are interested, we can discuss in detail. Please reply on comment of interested.

Doesn't matter if the damn sensor keeps falling off.
