Dexcom G6

Hi,

Does anybody know what the best app is in the uk for using with the Dexcom G6 on an iphone and Apple Watch!?

Just looking for one I had been told that was xdrip but can’t seem to find it on the App Store!

Thanks

Michael

xDrip+ is at the link below, but it's android only and won't run on iphone.

Spike is an iphone version of xdrip+ but I've not used it so don't know if it's been updated yet to work with g6. It's got watch integration. Scroll down the page at this link and it tells you how to download it.

No probs, Michael. I wasn't too sure to begin with about the idea of getting bg on my watch, thought it was maybe a bit of unnecessary bling, but it's turned out to be really useful - wee glance at the watch every now and then, I've picked up on a lot of developing highs and lows and pinned them, I'd have probably missed them if I was dragging the libre scanner or phone out.

I'm in an area which gives me libre on prescription, put a blucon transmitter on top, pings 5 min readings to my phone, then to the watch.

The watch face on xdrip+ looks like this (that bounce from 5 to 7.7 was an underbolused curry and beer!)

There is a G6 app available in both the Playstore (Android) and App store (iPhone). I have an android phone and use the app on my android wear watch. It works and I would assume the same for Apple (App store says it works).
I wish they would have fixed/enhanced the app a bit when releasing the G6 version but they didn't. Nevertheless it allows me to see mt reading on my watch and it looks similar to the post above.
