For years I have used a Dexcom G6 CGM ((continuous glucose monitor)
I finally now have one of the new NovoPen6 insulin pens, which records and can upload insulin used data, to comparable CGM apps.
The NovoPen6 insulin pen has been a longtime coming, but has finally arrived.

Unfortunately it looks like both of the most obvious apps, Dexcom Clarity and Freestyle Libre have not bothered to update their apps to take advantage of this.
I want to see a graph that shows both my Dexcom CGM glucose level and NovoPen6 insulin dosing figures on the same time line graph.

There appear to be a couple of third party apps on the Apple App Store, comparable with the new novoPen6, but none look very promising or have any good rating?

Has anyone tried any of these 3rd party apps? how did you get on with them?
Or has anyone heard when Dexcom are likely to get their finger out and update Clarity?

they may never update clarity to use the novopen 6.. there is no real incentive for them todo so

it also takes long enough for them to release updates for new phones I think it's todo with approvals

so where the incentive to slow things down getting approvals to show 3rd party data??


take a look at sidiary. particularly the desktop version

According to the Novonordisk website "Pen data from NovoPen®6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus can currently be viewed with Dexcom data using diasend® by Glooko"
My DSN uses Diasend and would rather I use that than some other app.
