User's Comments

I love how intuitive and easy it is to monitor, record and understand my glucose readings with this app. Unfortunately my current coverage doesn't allow for the Dexcom G7 and I can't afford it out of pocket, so I'm stuck using a competitor that is covered, which I don't love as much. This application makes things so much easier for me to manage my new to insulin usage and how to understand what my blood sugar does after eating or after certain foods etc

Only had the app for a day, but it looks really promising!!! It's so incredibly nice to have the "note" option in events again!!! This makes it infinitely more easy to explain bolus choices, strange trends, etc. I'm also amazed that the warming up started the *moment* the sensor was placed!!! as soon as I had installed the app etc. and finally entered the code, I was expecting to have to wait 30 more minutes - instead, I had to wait just 6!!!

Thank you so much to the Dexcom team for doing such a great job! I do have a novel bug I'm experiencing with the silence alerts feature, though, where when I go to silence my alerts for any length of time, it then puts my entire phone on do not disturb. this has caused me to miss several important phone calls and time-sensitive text messages. hopefully this gets fixed soon so I can finally give the app a five-star review!

Useful Tips 

Check your data regularly: Monitor your blood sugar regularly, especially around key times like eating, exercising, or adjusting your insulin dose. This helps you understand how your blood sugar responds to activity and food.

Set smart alerts: Use the alert feature to receive notifications when your blood sugar levels approach or exceed your set safety thresholds. This helps you get timely treatment.

Share your data: If you prefer, you can connect with your loved ones or care team through the Dexcom Follow app. They can monitor your blood sugar levels and know when you need support.

Work with a healthcare professional: It's always wise to discuss using the Dexcom G7 app with your doctor or healthcare professional about your diabetes management. They can help you optimize your use of the app and adjust your treatment based on the information your CGM provides.

Integrate with other health apps: If possible, integrate the Dexcom G7 app with other health apps you use. This helps you gain a more complete understanding of your health and manage it more holistically.

Learn how to interpret your results: Learn how to interpret your continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) results, including understanding your blood sugar curve and its trends. This will help you manage your health with more confidence.
