Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Apple mentioned in the article were collaborating with Dexcom?
I thought apple were working with dexcom to allow their watch to connect to the dexcom transmitter directly, rather than via a phone....

Yeah, that's precisely the "fanfare" i've been hearing from Dexcom regarding connectivity with the G6?
Maybe with the G7? And, funnily enough, though my G6 works with a samsung phone, apparently I can't link it to a samsung watch because samsung have the wrong OS on their watches.... (Have been failing to find a watch available in NZ under GBP 500 (NZD$1000) that I can use with my dexcom... Actually, I just want bgs and time on the watch face, so don't really want to spend more than NZ$500 ish. Am starting to consider making my next phone an apple.)
I've seen this come by in multiple Fb groups, and I'm camp seeing is believing.
So far, all technologies claiming reading bg through anything except access to the inside of the body have failed. But, if this works I'm the first to applaud this and want it!

It's seem a non-invasive desktop device is already up and working (for use in surgeries). Based on the news releases, they have applied for FDA approval in September 2020. They are now working on miniaturizing the technology (for everyday use by people with diabetes). Looks promising imo.
Hi,
I saw a YouTube interview a while back with a representitive from this company at what looked like a "trade fair?"
I'll try & dig out the link it was a while back.
From memory, if approved they where looking at some kind of rental/lease hire package for private users..
Thanks, @Jaylee. The price point would be really interesting. Even if high initially, hope it will come down eventually.
Promising indeed, and I'll be happy to use any new technology making diabetes management easier!This might be of interest: https://www.diamontech.de/home

I agree with you, @Antje77 -- the device that will be a game changer, the D-Pocket, is still under development and no specific date given.
The larger device (the shoe box mentioned by @Jaylee) however has already gone through clinical trials and the data have been published. If I understand the data correctly, the reliability is similar to that of the libre. https://www.diamontech.de/pressemel...ults-on-non-invasive-blood-glucose-monitoring . So, this might be a proof of concept that non-invasive blood sugar monitoring works. (So, now we just just need to wait until the technology has been miniaturized, has gone through the various hoops to get approved, and becomes affordable -- which still even optimistically may still be as far as two years off).
I use xDrip+ rather than the Dexcom App. It can send readings to a number of watches. I use a Xiaomi Miband 4 which cost about £26. Works beautifully.Maybe with the G7?

These all in one jobs in the offing? This next gen?? If proven to work, i would splash out on one could save me a fortune in sensors on the long run...
