[Diabetes-Talk] strange message

[Ed Worrell]

Hello All,

To me it sounds like the image description function of Voiceover is on and is trying to describe the graphic that resides near the blood glucose reading in the center of the screen. In reality this is just the visual aspect of the trend arrow.

How to stop the weird readouts…

1. Open settings
2. Navigate down to accessibility and then to Voiceover.
3. Scroll down to rotor and open this option.
4. Find the Image description option and double tap to add it to the rotor.
5. Exit out of settings and finally navigate to the Dexcom G6 app and open it.
6. Once the app has loaded place your thumbs and pointer finger on the screen and twist them. This action is much like turning a volume knob on a stereo. Do this until you hear the Image description option.
7. Once you have heard the Image Description read out loud, now flick down with one finger and Voiceover should now announce that Image Description has been turned off.

I hope this helps.
