[Diabetes-Talk] Anyone using the Dexcom G5 with the latest I O S 14?

[Patricia Maddix]

Melanie,
My Cited husband recently decided on the SE
Which came out last year and has most all the capabilities of the 11s except for the super Duper camera which is not important to him anymore than it is to me. He likes it because it still has the home button and did not have a learning curve for using new finger gestures. The 64 GB was $399. Which is their least expensive phone and hopefully will last five or six years.  It is the same size as the six, seven,  Andeight.
