Hello and welcome to the list.

To answer your question, YES, the Dexcom G6 app works on most of the current models of iPhones running the latest installation of iOS 14.6 along with using voiceover.

You will need to set up an account on the Dexcom app which will give you the same login on the website.

I would strongly advise that you make arrangements to see a diabetes educator for assistance and once you get the hang of it it is very easy to change out the sensor every 10-days and replace the transmitter every 90-days. The diabetes educator can also help you understand some of the setting on the app and putting the code for the sensor and transmitter which is required for activation of both items.

The transmitter code can be found on the box that the transmitter comes in and you can use the phones camera to get the code to be entered directly into the app. I have not found this very useful.

You will also or could use the camera to get a 4-digit code for the sensor.
I also found this difficult for a totally blind person.

Entering the codes for me I have found that for the sensor I'm able to use Seeing AI from Microsoft on my iPhone but getting the code for the transmitter you will need to get some assistance from either a reading app or someone sighted like using Be My Eyes or Aira.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.

By the way the Diabetes Action Network will have a program during the convention of the National Federation of the Blind. When the program comes out on the national website you should grab a copy to find the Zoom login for the Diabetes Action Network. It will be a program that will have speakers and a business meeting.

Again, if you have further questions just reply to this message.

Dear Members,

My name is anita. I joined this group this weekend because I need a support group to help manage and monitor my blood sugar levels.

My doctor prescribed the Dexcom G 6 and I received the supplies this past Saturday. I would like to know if this system is accessible for blind users and is there a website or app that I can go to with instructions.

Any information provided will be great.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Anita
