[Diabetes-Talk] dexcom

I have another weird problem, I have downloaded the Dexcom G7 app, but I
can't find it on my phone anywhere, I've looked in all my folders and in the
doc and it just not there.

Correct, there is no need to use the dexcom reciever. You just log on the
app, and use it if you like.

To apply the sensor you simpply twist the bottom piece off, mash it against
the spot you want to apply it, and press the button.
You need to make sure your pressing hard enough otherwise the button will
not push. It is a built in safety thing to keep the button from being
pressed on accident.

The code to activate the sensor is on the side opposite of the button.
So imagine exactly where the button is, on the opposite side.

To scan the code I use the built in photo scanner in the dexcom G7 app.
I make sure the applicator button is at the verry back, and put my phone
about 8 inches or so in front. It seems to work best when you have the phone
already lined up when you open the scanner.

If you use seeing AI, using the document scanner, the first 4 didget numbers
you here seems like it might be the code. In case you can't get the built in
scanner to work, that could be worth a shot.

Hope this helps.

If you still need me to call just let me know.
