[Diabetes-Talk] G6 issue

Wed Dec 4 13:34:41 UTC 2019

He was reading the latest email from the executive Techies, to me. It did state to delete and reinstall the sharing program, not the Dexcom G6 application. I did it and it all works fine now. Not a bird brain, just going with what is most recent with instructions to fix if some apps don't come back up, as mine was guilty of. Nevertheless, sometimes information changes at the drop of a second...

Funny that this guy told you that.  I checked out the Facebook Page and they actually strongly warned against uninstalling/reinstalling because it deleting all your data and creating a monster you wouldn't want...  What a bird brain!!!

As for being on hold for two hours, it was probably the fact that since last Friday, now, they're deluged with calls 24-7.

Have a great day gang!!!
