[Milton]

Do a search for the app for your kphone in the store under the name Dexcom
and you should see a bunch of apps, you are specifically looking for the
Dexcom G7. Download and install the app and follow all the steps when you
open the app.

I did get the cap off, and I do have the g six deleted.

Jim wouldn't know what to do next.
I just was hoping I could do it by myself.


I don't give up easy.
