What is the poster of little children behind you? Hmmm
When I go to configure it wont let me sign in it's said go to phone what am I doing wrong and thank you
Make sure your using the appropriate log in info Verify you have the correct log in credentials on the actual Dexcom site.
When I open blose and go to configure it dont go to let me log in it goes where it said go to phone to log in thanks
It does not take me where you log in it takes me where you have to do it on the phone I don't know why it wont take me to where you log in thanks I did this once before and it work but for some reason it won't take me where I can log in sorry to bother you
Have you tried making sure both devices have the current firmware updates and Blose app software updates ? Also try hard resets on both devices.
Thanks ill check thanks for getting back with me
My husband has a Galaxy 6 Classic watch. Wearable widget is not available for this watch. Can you help with another option? Thank you
Yes the Blose app is a great option
My son has android phone. I wonder if you can also make video for that. Want to learn. Thank you
Thanks for the inquiry. Unfortunately this feature doesn’t work with Android yet. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Okay, thank you
I spent $400 on an Apple Watch 9 and I get nothing. No readings from my phone and nothing from direct to watch. My phone app tells me I'm connected but I never get a message to pair from my watch. My phone continuously says my watch is searching. This is very frustrating. The only reason I bought an Apple Watch was to get my bg without my phone.
That sucks have you tried restarting the 2 devices
Yes, and it still won't connect
@davidbishop466 Sorry I wish I knew how to help you. Perhaps try deleting and redownloading the app or checking for updates. Another option is waiting for the 10 day sensor session to end to see if the new sensor connects
@@typ3me thanks 😊
Thanks for this video. This confirms what I was seeing with my direct to watch. I was getting multiple disconnects during the day. I also notice an increased battery drain. I to have a love hate relationship with this and also realize that this is still in its early stages.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one.
The signal loss happens too often. Not reliable. Was thinking of switching from tslim X2 to mobi and relying on the watch but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
The only draw back I do not like is you go to change it out every 3 days just makes no sense to me at all. I can understand every 14 days like a sensor but every three days just makes no sense to me at all...I do not understand that at all...So lets say 200 unites but you do not use all of it & say you got 50 units left what a waste...So they make sure you must change it out because the insulin goes in the back so SMART of them every 3 days just so they can make money of all those PODS you must change out every 3 days...smh!
I wondered the same thing I also how quickly the insulin goes bad once removed from the vial and in room temperature or hotter.
How to take off and put back on
I've never liked to run on purpose. I never have the need to go without my phone. I do run direct to watch and do find that the watch will switch to getting the info from the phone rather than the sensor. Mostly happens when the sensor and watch are on opposite side of my body. The G7 is smaller than the G6 which means the internals of the G7 have to be smaller as well i.e. smaller antenna and smaller battery.
Thanks for the feedback Dwight.
You are my go to for this kind of thing. Thanks
You’re welcome Douglas.
Thanks much for putting the time in to share this video! Although I'm an android/libre user, this is really helpful :) Not sure if the G7 suffers from the same problem that the Libre does, but I've found that if my glucose level fluctuates wildly (having a gigantic up/down delta), the sensor will simply give up for a period of time until it can get a good predictable trend again. Have you looked at your bg graph and seen if that could be a reason you had issues?
Good question. I’ve experienced the same with g7. Fortunately the test I did in this video only had a slight delta variation. I’m still convinced it failed by having to many apps open. I wish there was a way to know for sure. I’ll keep testing and I’ll keep you posted.
Got android with g7 and it never gave me a direct connect option. They only gave a health connection option and it does nothing for connecting info to watch.
Direct Connect is a brand new App only available on IOS, so far. Lots of third-party apps for Android (Samsung At least) but they still require the phone. CGM to phone, then phone to watch.
Thank you
You’re very welcome
keep getting wong credentials or region.. tried both option of checking and unchecking the "outiside of US" but not helping
Try logging into the Dexcom site to confirm you are using the right credentials first
I wonder what they consider soon? It's been a year and I have not heard a word about when they will come out with one. Have you heard any updates on this? Thank you for a great video.
Unfortunately no recent updates. I really do hope that this day will come sooner rather than later. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Help. Have watch 4. Just received watch from repair. The problem is when I get to the last graph , it does not show the glucose numbers. Please help
Try making sure that you have selected the appropriate region and re-log in to the Dexcom credentials, then restart both devices to see if this helps
How can I confirm that?
Upon set up make sure to scroll down on each screen to answer all the questions. Region is one of them
just installed the follow me app. So now it brought me to a page where it's asking me for a username and password. Do I use my Dexcom name and password?
I am using G7 and watch 4 with Samsung S24 +
Thank you The back ground music was much too loud.
No Android watches. Next.....
It’s a shame. I was an Android loyalist for so long. But they are always one step behind technological advancements.
Thanks!
You’re very welcome
Thank you so much! I just got my first Apple Watch-SE two and have had so much fun playing with it. If you recall, I am totally blind, but I do love all the technology that has come out lately! I've been trying to get Dexcom on my watch face and this video showed me how to do it! I wasn't able to do it using the watch app from my iPhone because Dexcom G7 doesn't show up as in the complications list, but I was able to do it on the phone itself using your instructions! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
I’m so excited for you. Congrats 🎉
Hi, will this method work if my daughter is running the Camaps system with dexcom g6?
Sorry I’ve never heard of Camaps. What is it?
Please stop talking, i cant hear you anyway, just do it hurrrry😂
I have the watch 6 and it wont work on mine i love samsung but im seriously thinking on getting apple watch and phone because dexcom g7 is available there 😢
It‘s incredible. In germany is ist now also available. I have been using it for a few days, but unfortunately the Watch often simply loses the connection. It is not yet usable reliably :(
I just lost connection today during a run and learned a fix. You can reconnect DTW by closing all watch apps then restarting the g7 app. Let me know how it goes.
It worked immediately with G7, S23+ and Watch4 Classic. Brilliant!
Great vid @tap3me! I wondered if this feature is already available in Spain, as everybody is talking that it started out in the UK and then the US followed, but no clue about other countries… thanks!!
T1D’s are known to have keen interest in titrating food (carbs), AND quantifying to titrate exercise, visa vi blood sugar while working out; (whew) is VERY HELPFUL FOR ME NOT CRASHING WHILE IN THE PT POOL. Two things that must occur at the same time; knowing my exercise values and not crashing while exercising. The Apple watch has solved this for me and everyone in the room actually.
It would be useful if they said that they will not include Dexcom share. Never crossed my mind that they won’t ship that feature. Our son has t1d, so without Dexcom share, watch is useless for us…
Good point. I agree what’s the point of tech if it doesn’t make your life easier.
Direct to watch feature, will not interfere with the follow feature directly addressing your demographic; but I totally get that it’s frustrating to not have all features on all platforms now. Today though I am able to monitor BG while I’m doing P.T. in a hot salt pool and can read BG anytime, very helpful I’ve had two crashes in that pool.
Can anyone clarify does the SUGAR PIXEL work / connect to the LIBRE 2 PLUS (uk) which controls my OMNIPOD 5? Thanks everyone
I have an old dad who doesn't have a smartphone and doesn't know how to use a mobile phone. Can the receiver directly send me a sugar reading if I am not with it?
Yes as long he keeps the phone on him connected the g7 and the internet it will be able to utilize an app called Dexcom Share. You then will need to set up the Dexcom Follow app to view his CGM numbers.
The low power bluetooth hangs regularly. Whenever you walk away from your phone, at the beginning of your walk you have to restart bluetooth which disconnects your ear pods and watch, then you have to reconnect them. Then you're good to go. Dexcom and Apple really need to work together to fix this immediately and they'll have a completely baked new feature here that improves everyone's lives.
Is this pump able to be used with Android? I've seen that it says it isn't compatible at the moment
Yes it works on Android 12, 13, and 14 support.tandemdiabetes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039080154-Mobile-App-Compatibility#:~:text=Compatible%20Operating%20Systems:,-Apple%20iOS%20versions&text=Android%20OS%20versions%2012%2C%2013,including%20all%20minor%20updates*)
@@typ3me that seems to say that the t: slim x2 is android compatible. Am I reading this wrong. Because under Mobi only iOS is listed
Compatible Operating Systems: Apple iOS versions 16 or 17 (including all minor updates*) Android OS versions 12, 13, or 14 (including all minor updates*)
If you prick on the side of finger it's less pain.
This is way too late from Dexcom ,they have been promising this for years. And they ignore over half them Android market.
I really do wonder why Android has been left out. I feel that these features should be available to open API. Let the best app developers make these apps work with their devices.
Direct to Garmin watch would be nice, they have a crazy long battery life.
I agree. I’ve unfortunately sold my Garmin because their G6 app never included my overpriced watch Fenix 3
Been on it for a year and now changing to the tandem. It’s impossible to bring down highs on it.
I’ve realized that being in automated mode can really affect your ability to maintain good numbers. I switched to manual mode and bumped up my daily basal to get things back to normal.
Great news. We want this on Dexcom One+ as well. Greatings from Romania.
Hopefully soon. Greetings from AZ.
Direct to watch is only for the g7
Yes.
Correct. 👍
Look forward to the day that Dexcom actually invests in Samsung/Android watch users
I agree. I reluctantly went to Apple do this specific feature alone.
@typ3me Fortunately, and thanks in large part to you, I have Dexcom G7 running on my Samsung Z-Flip 5 as well as my Galaxy Watch 5 (workarounds) Hello from Prescott
“rage snack” is such a good term.
I’m LADA and I have to buy my cgms as I’m not dying from being hypo unaware. Many endos don’t believe adults can get any other types than 2 in my city sadly and I am fighting for coverage for every single thing including my mobility device and soon a lifter. I believe that a device should be considered for coverage if the need is present no matter what your diagnosis is.
I agree. It’s very unfortunate that many diabetics get over looked and under treated because many physicians or endocrinologists are not yet “impressed” with their situation. If possible try to look for a second opinion. Hopefully someone out there will treat you and guide you according to your specific need and not as just another number.
Do we know anything about the developer? I'm just asking if they are legit since it requires my Dexcom login.
No I don’t know this developer. But I have spoken with Kaj the developer of Blose. That is another great CGM watch face option that I’ve done previous videos on.
The Blose watch face doesn't show up in my search results. Is there something else I can try? How do I get the one that you were using at the beginning of this tutorial?
Did you search for the app on your phone or from your watch?
Same issue for me (Fossil smartwatch).
Hi did you search for it using the phone App Store or the watch App Store
I searched on the watch itself per your instructions
I wonder why Fossil would block it. Sorry to hear that
Thank you so much for this video and for turning me on to Blose!!!! It's the best G Watch app I've ever had for following Dexcom readings. Big, bright numbers that are so easy to read. It's a huge improvement over the teensy, dark colored numbers I suffered with on my most recent Dexcom readings watch app. Love your tutorials! Thanks!
P.s. A huge shout-out to the developer who made this app. Thank you from the bottom of my diabetic heart! I love its look, its legibility and the lovely color choices. It's a winner.
☹
saved my LIFE
They all use a programme based on the time of day, to show what a typical bg reading would be. ie they're a load of cr@p!
They already can do this remotely. And how is this different than Libre or Dexcom?
Great question. The tech here promises glucose readings without the use of continuous glucose monitor that is inserted into your body. This technology when released only use light to read your sugar.
@@typ3me Needle-less...sounds good!
Hi, Would love to use this, it won't show up in the play store on my Fossil watch with Wear OS. Also is Share the same as Follow? Because when I look for Share only Follow comes up. Using Dexcom G7
I had the same issue and I fixed it by updating to Wear OS 3 on my watch. Just be aware that it will factory reset when you update it.
@amandajargowsky Thank you for sharing.
Has anyone actually tried wearing it reverse? so the sensor is on the veins and has any chance for a better reading? if it actually reads anything lol
