Follow app
I love this app...but would like to suggest a few upgrades that would make it even better for the dexcom follower. I saw that dexcom recently did an app upgrade to the 'user' app so they can have their sugar readings displayed as a 'complication' on their Apple Watch. This would be a great improvement for the follow app also! Please update this so a follower can have it on their Apple Watch just as easily. Also, please please please do an upgrade so that the sugar readings from the iPhone can be directly Blue-toothed to the Apple Watch without having the "go between" of the iPhone with you at all times. It would be so much more beneficial for both the user and follower if it would Bluetooth directly. I called Apple directly to see if this would be an upgrade they would need to do and was told that it would need to be an upgrade on Dexcom's side so that it can Bluetooth to the Watch directly, like it does the dexcom receiver and the iPhone. This would be a huge improvement in my eyes and could potentially save lives in the future! Thank you!
Married to a DM1
We recently got the G5 mobile die to my wife having DM1 and just giving birth to our first child. I wanted a way that while I was at work at night I could monitor her blood sugars to make sure she was ok, especially with being home alone at night. Now not only do I follow them but we are setting it up on her mothers iPhone so she can too. (They live 3 miles away) now not only will I know but someone else that can get home quicker than I can will too.
The only no data we have gotten is when she left her phone on the other side of the house. No biggie it picked right back up.
People complain about the frequent notifications of lows and highs, umm hello!!! That's what it's for!!!! Highs can be just as dangerous as a low. Please dexcom notify me when my wife's blood sugar is low every 5 minutes. I won't care because it helps me make sure she can take care of our child.
Everybody relax
After reading all reviews I was amazed there was very little positive feedback. If you are reading this because you are considering buying Dexcom, buy Dexcom. Is it perfect? No. But what is. Does it improve glucose management and stress? Absolutely. We have had a Dexcom for 8 months and it has been a total game changer. The app isn't perfect, the system takes a few calibrations to become accurate sometimes, and it is slow to catch rapidly changing sugars (due to differences in interstitial fluid glucose changes) But when it's working, you can sleep, they can play, and you can stop staring in the rear view mirror to make sure your child is still ok after their bolus. Overall, totally worth 5 stars.
