[Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom compatibility

[gary-melconian]

There  are multiple CGM systems now available on the market .more coming on board that  are in clinical trials .so in due time one solution will end up working for each person and each person's  use case.

I don't want to scare off anyone. It worked for three and a half months for me and was wonderful, so don’t let me stop you from trying anything.

This morning though, I had a message when opening Dexcom about updates, and it asked if I wanted to do the setting updates or wait. I chose later for now, not sure what the updates would be like. I've never had a problem with Dexcom either after an IOS update, however, I've never seen a message about setting updates. I did the latest IOS update a few days ago, but it was just today that Dexcom gave me this message. I'm a little nervous to attempt the setting update, whatever it is.

Greg,

I I am running 13.5 on my new iPhone SE, and my Dexcom works just fine. As with any version updates, I sometimes get messages from Dexcom that says they are currently testing the latest version and to continue to the app. Once continuing to the app, I sometimes have to open and close it several times before it works. It always does though.

I am using 13.5 on a brand new SE, and my Dexcom works just fine. As with any IOS  update, Dexcom gives you an error message every now and then for several weeks. It just says that Dexcom is testing the latest version and to continue to the app. Sometimes, I have to open and close the Dexcom app several times to get it to work correctly, but it always does.
