[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6

[ed worrell]

Hey Veronica,

I am excited to see what improvements are there. I have been using the Libre system with my iPhone. It works well enough but DexCom is really the Cadillac of CGM systems in my eyes.

Has the DexCom Clarity app gotten any better with VoiceOver? I remember needing to import the PDFs into KNFB Reader or even Seeing Ai to get readings at first. Can we finally read the charts and logs in the app?

Thanks,

Ed Worrell

Way way better than the G5 app. The only tiny little thing I've found is that when you go into settings to stop a sensor, once you stop it, the app leaves you in that screen and you have to find the home button and tap it so you can continue with the process of inserting the new one. But I think the G6 is more accurate, easier to insert and boy is the app improved.
