That may be what happened. The four digit sensor code for each sensor is actually on the applicator on the opposite side of the container from where the large push button is, but I don’t believe it’s on the box. This number has to be entered each time a new sensor is put on because each sensor has a different code. The code on the applicator can be scanned with the camera on the phone so as Blind people, we don’t actually have to use a person or device to read that number.Another thing that is necessary to make Siri work is that within the Dexcom app itself under profile there is a place to enable the Siri feature and either use the default command of Get glucose or enter in a verbal command that you might prefer to use.
