[Diabetes-Talk] Getting a Dexcom G6 soon

[Jamie Gurganus]

Hi Greg! The sensors are supposed to be worn on your abdomen, but I know some people may tell you you can also put it on your backside. I have only worn mine on my abdomen. The phone app works great, so you should not have any issues with it. I found it very interesting that it has poor ratings in the App Store. I am not sure why that is. The most challenging part for the blind is reading The sensor code and transmitter serial number. Veronica from this list just recently posted her “How to”  email that explains the best way to read both of these using the Seeing AI app. 


Hope this helps. I think you will really like having the Dexcom.

First where do the sensors go? My libra sensors go on the back of my arms. Also how are the iOS apps? I downloaded them from the store but they have terrible ratings.
