Features & Capabilities

Dexcom Follow is part of the Dexcom SHARE system. If a loved one is sharing Dexcom CGM data with you, the Sharer must invite you to connect after you install the Follow app. Dexcom Follow brings their CGM data to your device, giving you visibility into glucose levels and trends even when you’re apart.

With Dexcom Follow you can remotely monitor glucose at a glance from your phone or Apple Watch, support up to 25 Sharers, and receive customizable alerts and push notifications when readings are outside target ranges. It helps families stay connected and informed about diabetes management.

User Reviews

Reviews show major reliability issues with the Dexcom Follow iOS app: the home screen widget is gone or broken, alerts and notifications are unpredictable (including CarPlay), and historical data lacks detail. Many users miss the old version’s features and reliability and cite frequent connectivity/data-sharing problems. The recurring message is to restore widget functionality and improve alerting and data history to match or exceed the old app.
Pros
  • Old Dexcom Follow version was more reliable and included a Home Screen widget.
  • The app provides real-time glucose data and supports live monitoring (updates every ~5 minutes).
  • Dexcom Follow is a vital safety tool for families managing Type 1 diabetes.
Cons
  • Removal/breakage of iOS Home Screen Widget (no at-a-glance readings).
  • Alerts and notifications are unreliable or not functioning consistently, including CarPlay silencing.
  • Historical data is limited (no exact values; only 'below 70'/'above 180' with no multi-day trends).
  • Regression from the old app (desire to bring back features like the widget and old UI).
  • Connectivity issues and inconsistent data sharing between devices.

Even with multiple invites to multiple emails I still cannot follow their Dexcom profile. A real bummer, I was excited to send them little messages encouraging them to eat a sweet treat when they were trending low :-( This is still a non-functioning app that focuses on harassing you about notifications rather than basic functionality. The developer should be fired.

I’ve just started using this version of the app, which unfortunately doesn’t mirror the same functionality as the US Store Follow app, which allows integration with stacks and the Apple Watch. It would be great if this can be fixed in a future app update

This is the most garbage app I’ve ever used. I’ve tried sending an invite from my wife’s app 10 times, I’ve tried searching for my email used from her app and it says there’s no invitation sent. No email shows up in my inbox. And the one time I got an email to pop-up I clicked on the link and the app kept crashing. Just an absolute garbage of an app. Don’t know who they have doing their app programming, but they need to be fired. Crazy how an industry with so much money can’t get a simple app to work. Especially when it’s a life-threatening disease. Read all the horrible reviews and fix your freaking app. Should take a total of one day to fix.
