[Diabetes-Talk] Introduction and a question on glucose monitoring devices

[camille.tate320 at gmail.com]

Hi: 

I use the Dexcom G7 15 day. I find it extremely accessible with an iPhone 16. While I can't see graphs, it gives the information that may be contained in a graph in plain text, with readable statistics. The ease of changing the sensor is a big bonus over the G6. My only issue is capturing the QR Code to scan the sensor code. I just use Be My AI for that. I was also surprised at how quickly my insurance approved the pre-authorization; I suspect because it was done through my medical doctor and not endocrinologist and because of not only the diabetes, but blindness. 

 Together,

Hi,

I use the Dexcom G7 10 day CGm with an iphone 15 Pro. It is very usable with Voice Over. I think a braille display would track the info on the screens of the app easily for you.

Good luck.

Hi. I am deaf blind and recently was diagnosed with diabetes. I am thinking of getting a cgm and was wondering if any devices were easier to use or more accessible with voiceover on the iphone? Thanks.
