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)

Recent reviews

My sensors always start failing in the last couple of days of usefulness. I am very disappointed with the quality of reporting, since I only get 3 for a month, which cuts me off 5 days every year. Thank goodness I can get replacement s without issue from dexcom when they do fail.
