[Diabetes-Talk] Using Camera to capture QRCode

[Bernadette Jacobs]

Firstly, I would like to know if this is really necessary. What is the purpose of the QR code and the G7 sensors/transmitters? Do we need this? Please explain! I am actually very leery of things about QR codes and just scanning my phone in And unknown places. At least I think they're unknown places. I'm not that brave. Maybe you are. But I'm not. I don't use Apple Pay for the very same reason. Scares me spotless that somebody else might have a look at my bank account that I may not want .
