Hi all,

I would suggest that all check the Dexcom website for their compatibility with there device especially those who are using Apple products and make sure that your iOS is at least at the level that they recommend. Here is the URL:

https://dexcom.com/compatibility/

Follow the steps to complete the checker. Dexcom support uses that same page.

I am finding everybody’s responses very interesting. I can ask Siri to give me my current value with the hey Siri feature with the phone in locked mode., when on the desktop, when in  the Dexcom app, or when in any other app. I sometimes get blood glucose values on my watch and sometimes I just get three hyphens. When I do get a number however it matches what is on my dexcom? app and my tandem pump app. I am using an iPhone SE second generation and the latest update of iOS 16. I wonder if all the differences are due to different phone models and iOS operating systems.
Patricia.
