[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6

[gary-melconian]

Veronica , I am happy that you like the g6.but I cant find any on the online sites  that I can grab for a reasonable price .so for the time  being I will stick with the  g5 an the g5 sensors and  the g 5 app.at least the clarity app has improved and gives me the info that I really need that the graph wont give us.   At least the dexcom g5 solution keeps me alive from the insurance  company that I have  trying to kill me for not providing me with the  dexcom and making me pay out of pocket for it and so that is why I have resorted to online sites for the dexcom .

Hi Ed.
The graph at the bottom of the screen still isn't accessible to us. Sure would be nice if they'd release this info as raw data, especially since it starts that way. Many of us have been asking for years for this.
But the app is great. 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.
I hope you like it as much as I do. Any questions come up, ask away. <grin> Have fun.
Veronica

Hello Listers,

It’s been awhile. I just switched insurance as of  July 1. I am finally able to get the Dexcom G6 system and it is covered at 100%. I am so happy for this discovery.

My question for G6 users are there any glaring accessibility issues in the app. I know when I was using the G5 system 3 years ago the graph at the bottom of the screen was not read , Icons had funny labels all over the place within the app. I’m pretty tech savvy so minor bugs don’t bother me to much.

Thanks for your help and answers.

Ed
