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

[gmelconian619 at gmail.com]

Glad that I could help out.i was not sure if it would work on appel devices  or not.  I know that  this would work with android. as well google and Samsung are working on next gen, gemini AI, support so, I think the AI models will improve even further in the future.

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.
