If you decide to switch to a different device, you will need to go into your old device's Bluetooth settings and turn off Bluetooth before you can connect the new device to the Dexcom G7 sensor. It is important to note that there is a waiting period of at least 15 minutes before the new device can be connected.

Can You Pair 2 Phones on One Dexcom Transmitter

Typically, a Dexcom G6 transmitter is only paired with one device, such as a phone. However, it is possible to maintain pairing with up to two devices. These devices are separated into "slots," with Slot 1 being the primary device and Slot 2 being reserved for "phone" applications. This means that while it is not possible to pair two phones in the primary Slot 1, you can pair a phone with another device, such as a smartwatch, in Slot 2.

How Do I Connect My Dexcom G6 to Multiple Phones

To connect your Dexcom G6 to multiple phones, you will need to make use of the Dexcom Follow app. This app allows designated followers, such as family members or caregivers, to remotely monitor your glucose data from their own compatible smart devices. To share your data, simply press the Share icon within the Dexcom G6 app and follow the onscreen instructions. Do note that in order to successfully share your data, both the Follow App and internet connectivity are required.

Can I Use My Dexcom Receiver and My Phone at the Same Time

Yes, it is possible to use both a smartphone and a receiver to provide continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. The Dexcom system allows the smartphone to send data to the Dexcom server, where the data is then made available for reports. This means that both the smartphone and receiver can be used simultaneously, providing you with flexibility in how you choose to monitor and access your glucose data.

Can You Share Dexcom Data with Family

Yes, the Dexcom G6 app includes a feature called Dexcom Share, which allows users to share their glucose data with friends, family, and/or caregivers. This can be done through compatible smart devices. By utilizing the customizable circles of care feature, you can choose who you want to share your data with and grant them access to monitor your glucose levels. This feature can be particularly useful for individuals who have loved ones or medical professionals actively involved in their diabetes management.
