[Diabetes-Talk] Getting data from the Dexcom G6 trend graph on iPhone

[Patricia Maddix]

Gary,
I tried this out on my iOS device and it works great. I thought I had tried this before on the Dexcom app, but perhaps it was another app and it was marginal. I was able to ask follow up questions regarding my blood sugar at exact times, and it was within about three points of being right on. This is a great new use for AI.
Patricia.
