>> Milton,
>> I am changing my sensor tomorrow. Did you do the qr code from within

>> Everyone, as for the patches, tech support told me to forget them as

>> So far mine have stayed on just fine without the patches.
>> As for calibration, weird. I had to calibrate mine again this morning.
>> When I went into history, it said, to look at previous events, go to

>> Call me unimpressed so far. I had a little chat with my sensor the

>> needed to perform. At one point yesterday, I was sitting at a table
>> and the phone was on the table in front of me. I never moved. For the
>> entire 15 minutes I was there, I never got a sensor reading. Sorry

>> Hello,



>> I just inserted a new sensor for the Dexcom G7 using the iPhone
>> camera. I'm running iOS 16.5 on an iPhone 14 Pro.



>> I found it pretty snappy once I was able to place the sensor container
>> in the position where the code can be found on the outside of the
>> applicator. I aligned the camera about 6 inches from the container and
>> slowly moved the camera/phone around until I felt a vibration and
>> heard Voiceover tell me that pairing was complete.



>> I find that this looks to be better than the G6 app for the iPhone.



>> Hope others using the G7 will try it and share their experience
>> capturing the QRCode using their camera whether its with an iPhone or
> Android device.
