Help required please...
I'm changing to Dexcom G6 sensor and Omnipod 5 in March 2024. I have the app my phone ready for the day however due to working 2 days a week within a "secure environment" I am not able to take my phone inside.
Does anyone have any experience of using the Dexcom G6 receiver ?
If you do, please let me know as I have a couple of questions I would like to ask. Thank you so much.
 
Hmm, I'm a dexcom G7 (previously G6) user, but these faqs look ominous

I use the Omnipod® 5 System with my Dexcom G6 CGM, who do I contact for system support? | Dexcom

Dexcom and Insulet have agreed which system issues are best handled by each company, including which company is responsible for reporting those events to the appropriate regulatory authority.
www.dexcom.com

  • The Omnipod® 5 must connect to the Dexcom G6 transmitter; use of a Dexcom medical receiver isn't supported for this automated insulin delivery system. You will need a smart device that is compatible with the Dexcom G6 app to set-up the connection between the Dexcom G6 CGM System and the Omnipod® 5 insulin delivery system.
Have you spoken to your omnipod and/or dexcom rep?
 
Thank you for your reply.
I think I'm getting confused with all of this, I don't understand why Dexcom say you can use both or just the receiver (not phone) if I can't connect the G6 and the omnipod 5 with it.
I'm beginning to think that might have to resign from my job as my health is more important.
