User Reviews

Dexcom G6 on iOS is praised for cutting finger pricks, offering reliable alerts, and aiding diabetes management, with strong pump integration. However, its value is hampered by recurring connectivity issues, occasional accuracy/calibration problems, and frequent forced updates that restrict access for users with older devices.
Pros
  • Reduces the need for finger-prick testing and aids overall diabetes management
  • Alerts for high/low readings and provides trend information to enable proactive care
  • Generally accurate readings and helpful trend data for many users
  • Good integration with insulin pumps (e.g., Omnipod 5, Tandem Mobi) for coordinated management
Cons
  • Frequent disconnections and signal loss leading to unreliable data transmission
  • Occasional inaccurate readings and calibration issues (e.g., off by 20–30 points; false lows/highs in some cases)
  • Forced updates and ongoing compatibility prompts that limit access on older devices (watchOS/iOS), sometimes locking users out or pressuring upgrade to newer hardware
  • Data-access and device-compatibility restrictions tied to updates (older iPhones/iOS not supported, gating to G7)

How come the most recent app update removed seeing my blood sugar at a glance on my watch face? I don’t always have the free hands to hold let alone open my phone and app to do a simple blood sugar check. Also I wish I could clear alerts for the app on my watch. Some nights when I am putting my baby back to sleep my blood sugar spikes and I don’t have my phone with me and the constant alerts keeps my baby awake. Please return the watch face feature. Also the alarms used to wake me up. What happened? I don’t wanna die in my sleep..
