Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G6 and iPhone 12
Hello everyone,
I am a long time reader, this is my first question to all of you: I am a Dexcom G6 user as well as a long time iPhone user. I am about to upgrade from an iPhone 8 to one of the newer versions. I seem to remember reading in this list that some of you were having trouble with your Dexcom G6 and one of the newer versions of iPhone. If I am correct about this, can one of you let me know which version of iPhone and I absolutely need to stay away from? If I am incorrect on thinking that I have heard you discuss this point, please disregard this email. Thank you so much to all of you in advance.
Jessica Jones.

Such biomarkers have historically been measurable only by using bench-top equipment.
