[Diabetes-Talk] Question to you, who has the Dexcom G6

[Rick Mladek]

The G6 tests your blood every 5 minutes and you either use the receiver or
for those blind, you have it through the Dexcom application on your smart
phone. Your phone will read it to you using the Voice Over on the Iphone,
for example.

You are supposed to test your sugar the old fashioned finger prick way at
least twice per day to know if the sensor is working correctly. I test
either AM or PM but not always both. The Dexcom is normally within a few
points from the finger stick results however as the sensor nears the 10th
day where it is then replaced, the numbers are commonly more off but not
drastically.

Are you saying you don't need to test with the g six?
How does that happen.
I wouldn't know my lows if I hadn't checked it out this morning.
