[Diabetes-Talk] Need help with Dexcom right away

Thu Dec 13 17:36:00 UTC 2018

Yes, tried last night along with the app, but it wasn't working on the receiver either. I was tired of hearing the receiver alarm at me to input them, so, I just turned it off. The app is working now, so, I'm not concerned with the receiver right now. I believe this is what I stated in my previous email.

But did you enter the BG’s on the G5 receiver?
You should always do that first before doing anything with the app.
