Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Overview of my recent change from Dexcom G6 to G7
 using an iPhone.
Message-ID: <000401dbea50$4f51b640$edf522c0$@bigpond.com>


Hi all,

I thought I would wait a little while before getting back about my G7
update, so I could check it out better.

Thanks to the generous advice on list which clarified the below Dexcom
article:
https://www.dexcom.com/en-CA/switch-to-dexcom-g7

the change over went well.

Note, the app we use in Australia is marginally different to that in  the
US, as we use the mmol-L glucose level system, instead of the mg/dL.

Once the Dexcom app is opened, voiceover reads the start up instructions
quite well.  Just enter your Dexcom user name and password, and after a
short wait, it announces that your alert settings etc have transferred from
the G6, and proceeds to the application steps.

Scanning the sensor code went particularly well.  I had placed the
applicator on the table with the code facing me, I e.trigger button facing
away from me,  and when I got to where it says how to line up the sensor, as
I moved the phone towards the sensor, it took the picture. I didn't even
have time to aim it.    

The part I was most concerned about was putting it on the back of my arm,
but although it was a little more awkward than doing it on the abdomin, once
I got familiar with the applicator, it was ok.  

I put it about 6 inches, (15cm), up from the tip of my elbow, and about
halfway between facing directly behind me, and facing directly away from my
body.  

The quicker warm up time is great! 

After a few days, I actually much prefer it there.  No more catching on
belts or other clothing when sitting etc.  All round, for me, the new sensor
is a big improvement. 

A different story for the new app.

Overall it is ok, and quite accessible with voiceover, but it takes a bit of
getting used to where to find things.  

I suggest exploring in turn, each tab at the botttom to see where they put
information and settings.  

The glucose tab  is the main screen, showing your current glucose level,
plus information from the Dexcom Clarity summary.  

For me, the Clarity information is way too crouded, and jumbled,  making it
difficult to find what I want.   You can significantly reduce, but not
eliminate, the jumble,  by selecting what they call the Glucose tab, just
below alert settings,  on the Profile tab.  Here you can turn off some of
the clarity information, and when you want to view them, just turn them back
on again.

Note, the below comments apply to the mmol / L version we use, and may or
may not apply to the US version.

In some places, voiceover has been implemented poorly, and while full use of
the app is not prevented,   it is well short of what was on the G6.

Toward the bottom of the Glucose tab, is a More button, which gives quick
access to some alert settings via a pop up window.  However, once open,
there is no way to dismiss it, it is stuck there!  The normal scrub gesture
etc have no affect.    The only way I have found to clear it is to stop the
app, and restart it.  Better to go to the alert settings on the profile tab 
to see those settings.

On the G6 as soon as the appgained focus, my glucose level was announced.
With the G7 it says, Dexcom G7 icon!  And it is necessary to swipe to hear
the level.  

Those are small issues that I am adapting to, but the main annoyance is that
in the alert settings, it is not possible to set an alert sound along with
its vibration. I e. you can only have one or the other!  

On the G6 I appreciated getting both the sound and the vibration, as
depending on the situation, one or the other would get my attention.   For
example, in my pocket in a shopping mall, verses on the charger while I'm in
the next room.

One upside, which I am not yet certain of, it seems that when a glucose
level keeps "hovering" each side of an alert setting, the alert stays silent
for the set time, after you first acknowledge it.  

Warm regards,
Paul in Australia.

hi Paul.
Good overview of the Dexcom G7.
First, Dexcom is aware of the problem with the more button. That’s a real gotcha the first time you find it. Second, when you go look at your alarms, there is a setting that you can play with which determines when it gives you an alarm. You can set it to give you alarm for instance, if you’ve been high for at least a half an hour, or give you an alarm every time you go high. playing with this can cut down on the number of alarms you get as you hang around that high border. That drove me crazy too. I also agree with you about the difference in automatically announcing your number like the G6 did. And I kicked my clarity stuff out of that screen as well. for some reason, my last batch of sensors was really hard to scan for the QR code. I’ve had somewhere it happened instantly just as you described. But my last batch, I just couldn’t seem to get it to scan for my life. I really don’t know why and I’m going to try to find out. but I’m glad you are happy with it and I agree, I like the smaller size as well as the faster warm-up. I actually put my new sensor on before I take the old one off. Then when I change over, I have no warm-up time. That is really nice.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Veronica.

Hello has any one on I os gotten the dexcom g7 app update . I got an update
today.there  is a big issue. There was a graph  which would also be able ot
be read with either voiceover on  I OS  when scrubbing through the graph
points,  or talkback on android.that graph with it being able to  read the
accessible graph points , has been scrapped for  a graphical representation
and  voiceover or talkback cant  read it when the graph is being scrubbed by
either voiceover  on I OS, or talkback on Android , in the app. we are back
to a  graphical   representation  of the graph points, instead of an
accessible representation which could be scrubbed by voiceoverer on I OS, or
talkback on Android. AS the numbers  wer showing on the graph   points,
previously  when using voice over on I OS to scrub through the  graph or
talkback on android. can any one else confirm the issue that  I am seeing on
my  end on dexcom g7 app update .   if its an issue who do I report it to  ,
to get it resolved.

Hi, I actually think the update works better for me. Now in the graph I at least have an easy way to see past readings. Voiceover reads the time and blood sugar reading for the past several hours. I never got that before. I’m just assuming that’s the new part.

That was the old version which would allow for the reading of the graph  points and trends, with voice over on I OS and talback on android.  The new version which was pushed out today , does  not have that feature any more . in which you now have to share the dexcom app to be my eyes in order  to  understand the graph points and trends on the graph  .      Don’t know who fumbled this one  on the new  update .

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] re dexcom g7 update
Message-ID: <000201dbf1f3$edd77930$c9866b90$@gmail.com>

Hello the version number that  has the issue with not being able to read the
graph points and trends, with voiceover on I OS and talkback on android is
version 2.9.1.  just giving heads up .i did not know this and when i plugged
mmy phone in to hcharge , last night , and I got up this morning .i got  the
update pushed automatically.   That is the version that you cant read the
graph  points or trends, automatically  with voiceover on I OS  or talkback
on android.

Thanks for this information. Mine has not updated yet today so I went in and turned off automatic app updates in settings. My app is still reading the graph at this point. Everyone keep us posted if there’s another update that fixes the voiceover issue.

Is  there  any one who has the dexcom contact info to their accessibility department .  I was thinking of contact them to let them know and hopefully they could fix it. Since you guys have more influence can you guys through the dan action network get this on the matter that dexcom ahhs broken accessibility of us understanding our graph points  an trends with dexcom for managing our diabetes.  The version that  was working was version 2.8.0,     which would tell you to auto scrub to  get the graph going with voiceover on I OS and the same thing was accomplished on android with talkback. the version 2.9.1 has broken that  accessibility  feature to accomplish auto scrubbing for getting the graph points and trends  reading with voiceover on I OS an tlabackon Android.

The app was  update on the android side  with version 2.9.1, and not on the  I os side.   As I just check both stores. The version on the  i os side is version 2.9.0 , from June 2025.   The version on the  google playstore  side, is version 2.9.1  from July 10,2025.        I had version 2.9.0 , on the android side , till I got the version 2.9.1 , which broke on the android side with  auto scrubbing to  read the graph points and trens . both apps on both side prior to the update,  you could do the auto scrub an read  with either side  screen reader, on either voice over on I OS side or talkback on the android side .  the android version is broken with the update, so I will then go back and se who I can contact to fix the matter before its pushed  to the I OS side.     
 So if they bbroke it ononon one platform , they could have also broken it on the other side as wel. Was just giving heads up to be aware of it.  -----Original Message-----

The June 17 update on the iOS side is the one that introduces some access to the graph. I couldn’t get that update to show up on my phone until today. But I’m enjoying the beginning of having a bit more information. I haven’t looked at the number, but the numbers never match between android and iOS. But it works.

The version that  was working was version 2.8.0,     which would tell you to auto scrub to  get the graph going with voiceover on I OS and the same thing was accomplished on android with talkback. the version 2.9.1 has broken that  accessibility  feature to accomplish auto scrubbing for getting the graph points and trends  reading with voiceover on I OS an tlabackon Android.

As I have had close to  12 sensor  changes, since I saw the  feature be on Android device. I really liked having that ability to read the graphs with an auto scrub with talkback.  I think I saw it around january of this year on my android device with talkback .     Just want to  see it back and working again. For the time being, I am just sharing the graph  points and trends on the graph to be my eyes to figure out what is going on with my trends  with dexcom .

The Dexcom app version that I have on my iPhone that is currently working with voiceover says that it’s 290 and that it was manufactured on July 4. I don’t know if that means it was pushed through to my phone on July 4, but that’s about the time I noticed the availability of the historical information.

Probably when your  phone checked for updates that is when it was probably pushed.

The Dexcom app version that I have on my iPhone that is currently working with voiceover says that it’s 290 and that it was manufactured on July 4. I don’t know if that means it was pushed through to my phone on July 4, but that’s about the time I noticed the availability of the historical information.

good to know that. But am I correct and understanding that they broke the app on both platforms. Just wanna make sure I present the correct information. I’m so glad my apps don’t update automatically. It’s weird that today was the first time I got that June update though. Guess I will stay there. Sheesh!

Hi Veronica,
Also, you still can’t enter the sensor numbers manually on the iOS version, at least that was true as of about June 30 on iOS. You can still obviously scan the QR code with the camera, but you cannot Enter sensor numbers manually.

Hi all,

I just noticed this change to the Dexcom app. I always go on a 90-day average of my GMI. However, it is always moving back to 14-day average and using Voice Over, you cannot click on any of the other time frame options. Turning off Voice Over allowes someone assisting me to see all the time options and can click on any of them successfully. When I turn Voice Over back on, it is locked and unable to be changed unless I again go through this process. Any others noticing this?

Thanks,

Rick

The June 17 update on the iOS side is the one that introduces some access to the graph. I couldn’t get that update to show up on my phone until today. But I’m enjoying the beginning of having a bit more information. I haven’t looked at the number, but the numbers never match between android and iOS. But it works.

good to know that. But am I correct and understanding that they broke the app on both platforms. Just wanna make sure I present the correct information. I’m so glad my apps don’t update automatically. It’s weird that today was the first time I got that June update though. Guess I will stay there. Sheesh!

Gary and other android users,
Thanks for all of the information about the ability to read the Dexcom graph going away. And talking with other iPhone users it appears that it’s still working OK with iOS. The Accessible Insulin Pump Task Force contacted the Dexcom app developers late Thursday and they responded several times on Friday, expressing their appreciation For all of the feedback and have started their team working on fixing the several problems that we mentioned. They were extremely sorry to hear of this setback and our empathetic about how disappointing it is as we have been requesting these features for several years just to have them taken away suddenly.
If any of you also have time to call the Dexcom technical support 24 hour phone line to report this setback. It would be great to have this  documented as they do keep track of the number of people that call in on anyone problem and this would help to back up what we have already told them.  There is power in numbers.
These new features began working on iOS just a few days ago and those of us who are iPhone users had no idea that android users had had this feature available for several months. If those of you who are android users could keep posting any new features or loss of features that you notice or contact anyone on the task force that would be great so we can keep up-to-date in what we are reporting to the developers at Dexcom.
Patricia.

I did that for android devices.  it was strange. They had no clue about it  .  Had to explain what I was talking about  to   the rep that was helping me on the line. They did take down my info along  with a dducmented info of what was going on  as best as I could explain to  them, with my serial number to my dexcom sensor and info  on Friday afternoon.     Hopefully it will get resolved with the next updates. What was  the point of  them having the dexcom ay11 survey form and all that   creation, if there  was not going to  be follow up to when things went hay wire like this issue.  Imagine that  I had not warned about it on the forum, and it had hit  both plattforms android and I OS,  what would be the reaction there. I am just looking out for the entire community,  no matter what  platform they are using  , android or I OS, to get  there  dexcom or any other insulin pump info on their smart phone device.

Sure, will do so. I will do my part as well as others  who use either platfform.  If it impacts one platftform it could eventually also impact the other side whether that be I OS, or android related.   That  is how  we will have an improved refine  and united community on the accessibility front with  these diabetes apps and devices that impact our diabetes lives .

Thanks Gary for calling Dexcom. Unfortunately we may need to be the ones that educate the people that answer the phones or at least just make them aware of how we use their products.  unfortunately, the sales people and customer service people at many of the diabetes device companies tell blind people that they would be unable to use their product. there are indeed many diabetes devices that we cannot yet use, but it should be the Blind community that decides this. We did hear that the a 11 Y program was being re-organized a while back but it appears that it may have entirely fizzled.

Hopefully it will get resolved with the next updates. What was  the point of  them having the dexcom ay11 survey form and all that   creation, if there  was not going to  be follow up to when things went hay wire like this issue.  Imagine that  I had not warned about it on the forum, and it had hit  both plattforms android and I OS,  what would be the reaction there. I am just looking out for the entire community,  no matter what  platform they are using  , android or I OS, to get  there  dexcom or any other insulin pump info on their smart phone device.

The Accessible Insulin Pump Task Force contacted the Dexcom app developers late Thursday and they responded several times on Friday, expressing their appreciation For all of the feedback and have started their team working on fixing the several problems that we mentioned. They were extremely sorry to hear of this setback and our empathetic about how disappointing it is as we have been requesting these features for several years just to have them taken away suddenly.

It would be great to have this  documented as they do keep track of the number of people that call in on anyone problem and this would help to back up what we have already told them.  There is power in numbers.
> These new features began working on iOS just a few days ago and those of us who are iPhone users had no idea that android users had had this feature available for several months. If those of you who are android users could keep posting any new features or loss of features that you notice or contact anyone on the task force that would be great so we can keep up-to-date in what we are reporting to the developers at Dexcom.

Hi Amy and everyone.
I just changed my sensor last night and here's what I found. You can indeed enter the code. When you double tap on enter code, the trick is that as you swipe, it doesn't say edit box for each digit. If you have sound turned on, as you swipe right, you'll hear a click. If you get yourself on the first spot that feels like a blank area, you can type the first digit there. In fact there should be a number pad on the lower half of the screen. One time when I entered a number, it automatically advanced to the next spot and I entered the second number. 
So it looks weird but we can do it. I think it's definitely worth asking them to make these normal looking edit boxes.
Hope this helps and let me know if this made sense. <grin.>
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Also, you still can’t enter the sensor numbers manually on the iOS version, at least that was true as of about June 30 on iOS. You can still obviously scan the QR code with the camera, but you cannot Enter sensor numbers manually.

I just hold the sensor in front of my camera on my phone and wait until it vibrates and then it will pair.

Hi Amy and everyone.
I just changed my sensor last night and here's what I found. You can indeed enter the code. When you double tap on enter code, the trick is that as you swipe, it doesn't say edit box for each digit. If you have sound turned on, as you swipe right, you'll hear a click. If you get yourself on the first spot that feels like a blank area, you can type the first digit there. In fact there should be a number pad on the lower half of the screen. One time when I entered a number, it automatically advanced to the next spot and I entered the second number. 
So it looks weird but we can do it. I think it's definitely worth asking them to make these normal looking edit boxes.
Hope this helps and let me know if this made sense. <grin.> Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Also, you still can’t enter the sensor numbers manually on the iOS version, at least that was true as of about June 30 on iOS. You can still obviously scan the QR code with the camera, but you cannot Enter sensor numbers manually.

that’s how I always do it as well. But I checked in response to Amy‘s question because there are certain circumstances where one may not be able to do that, especially when pairing with a tandem Moby pump.

Oh yes, several of us have noticed it and the task force has been in touch with Dexcom about it. This one drives me crazy.

Hi all,

I just noticed this change to the Dexcom app. I always go on a 90-day average of my GMI. However, it is always moving back to 14-day average and using Voice Over, you cannot click on any of the other time frame options. Turning off Voice Over allowes someone assisting me to see all the time options and can click on any of them successfully. When I turn Voice Over back on, it is locked and unable to be changed unless I again go through this process. Any others noticing this?

Thanks,

Rick

The June 17 update on the iOS side is the one that introduces some access to the graph. I couldn’t get that update to show up on my phone until today. But I’m enjoying the beginning of having a bit more information. I haven’t looked at the number, but the numbers never match between android and iOS. But it works.

Hi,
That is not my experience. Running the app on an iPhone 16 Pro. I actually checked with Ira and had them check with my screen on. They could not see a way of doing it either. I don’t get the numbers on the bottom of my screen, there is no keyboard visible.

You don't have to type any numbers in just on the app go to use camera to scan then then hold the phone with the camera facing the side of the sensor facing away from the button and it will vibrate and then it will pair.

Hi,
That is not my experience. Running the app on an iPhone 16 Pro. I actually checked with Ira and had them check with my screen on. They could not see a way of doing it either. I don’t get the numbers on the bottom of my screen, there is no keyboard visible.

When you double tap on enter code, the trick is that as you swipe, it doesn't say edit box for each digit. If you have sound turned on, as you swipe right, you'll hear a click. If you get yourself on the first spot that feels like a blank area, you can type the first digit there. In fact there should be a number pad on the lower half of the screen. One time when I entered a number, it automatically advanced to the next spot and I entered the second number.

Hi Amy and everyone.
I just changed my sensor last night and here's what I found. You can indeed enter the code. When you double tap on enter code, the trick is that as you swipe, it doesn't say edit box for each digit. If you have sound turned on, as you swipe right, you'll hear a click. If you get yourself on the first spot that feels like a blank area, you can type the first digit there. In fact there should be a number pad on the lower half of the screen. One time when I entered a number, it automatically advanced to the next spot and I entered the second number. 
So it looks weird but we can do it. I think it's definitely worth asking them to make these normal looking edit boxes.
Hope this helps and let me know if this made sense. <grin.> Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Also, you still can’t enter the sensor numbers manually on the iOS version, at least that was true as of about June 30 on iOS. You can still obviously scan the QR code with the camera, but you cannot Enter sensor numbers manually.

Veronica,

That is how it worked with the Android phone when entering the G6 sensor's transmitter serial number.  I also ran across this unusual way of entering a code when entering a verification code recently on an app. I can't remember which app it was, but it is easy to do, once you realize what is expected.

I am not using the actual Dexcom  app since switching to the G7 and the Tandem Mobi, but I know several who are.  I just have to enter the 4-digit code twice and click the save button to pair the G7 with my pump.  I use Seeing AI to read the code from the applicator.  

			Jamie

Hi Amy and everyone.
I just changed my sensor last night and here's what I found. You can indeed enter the code. When you double tap on enter code, the trick is that as you swipe, it doesn't say edit box for each digit. If you have sound turned on, as you swipe right, you'll hear a click. If you get yourself on the first spot that feels like a blank area, you can type the first digit there. In fact there should be a number pad on the lower half of the screen. One time when I entered a number, it automatically advanced to the next spot and I entered the second number. 
So it looks weird but we can do it. I think it's definitely worth asking them to make these normal looking edit boxes.
Hope this helps and let me know if this made sense. <grin.> Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Also, you still can’t enter the sensor numbers manually on the iOS version, at least that was true as of about June 30 on iOS. You can still obviously scan the QR code with the camera, but you cannot Enter sensor numbers manually.

Oh Amy, what a drag. I also have a 16 pro and I am having a similar experience with the Instacart app. Everyone else seems to have stuff I don't. Have you tried double-tapping in the space where it doesn't say anything?
One of the things I wish is that these manufacturers would have a zoom tech support option so we could talk to someone who could see what we're doing. That would give us better information and them better documentation. And yes, we're bringing this up. 
I'll see if I get any other ideas.
Veronica

Can’t check right now as my sensors didn’t come in in time for me to be using one. Out of the country at the moment. I will check as soon as I get back. However, AIRA said that the screen looked totally blank. No matter what we tried.

Oh Amy, what a drag. I also have a 16 pro and I am having a similar experience with the Instacart app. Everyone else seems to have stuff I don't. Have you tried double-tapping in the space where it doesn't say anything?
One of the things I wish is that these manufacturers would have a zoom tech support option so we could talk to someone who could see what we're doing. That would give us better information and them better documentation. And yes, we're bringing this up. 
I'll see if I get any other ideas.
Veronica

I understand. However, that is not always feasible.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] re dexcom g7  app  and android  side observations
Message-ID: <01f701dbf762$0a9defe0$1fd9cfa0$@gmail.com>

Hello here's some observations that I have seen on the dexcom g7 app version
on android. Thaat  the days to check for trends sticks on the android
version which some of you wer saying does not stick and goes back to 14 days
on the I OS side . I can set it to  whatever   days 3, 7, or etc, and it
will stick no matter if I turn the device on or off or close the dexcom app
or not. The next observation,  I se in the android version of dexcom g7 ,
when your doing a  calabration  , when you enter in your calabration number
, from your  glucometer, it gives you a notes section to enter  any info

tap save two times. The first time to  save the info and the second time to
hit save to confirm. This was not the case on the previous version of the

fixed. The only thing that  has been broken at the moment,  the reading of

graphs,  as you would swipe  lleft or  right, on the graphs  on the dexcom

the moment,  either share the app to be my eyes  AI, or to  share with
google gemini , then ask  the AI, depending on what models they are using .
In the case of be my eyes , its using Chat Gpt 4, and on the google Gemini,
its using Gemini 2.5 pro model for thinking an reasoning, to give me a

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7 app. Clarity card info,
 and entering finger stick calibration.
Message-ID: <00c701dbf7fc$a8e54aa0$faafdfe0$@laurelcreekmusic.com>

Hi everyone.

After discovering things that changed in the most recent iOS update, and
hearing from many of you, I have two things I'd like you to try and see what
results you get.

First, clarity card info. Many of us have noticed that in choosing the time
period to report, we could only choose 14 days. Well, I rebooted my phone
and this feature started behaving again. I'd love to know if this happens
for the rest of you.

Second, it used to be very easy to enter a calibration from a finger stick.
Now, in the dialog, there are a bunch of unlabeled images.

I want to see if my instructions to get in there work for the rest of you,
while we're waiting on Dexcom to label the images. First, choose event,
which says, Ico plus. Add. On the page that opens, which says, add event,
choose blood glucose, finger stick or calibration button. The next page says
entry type. This is the one with unlabeled images. The one for entering a
calibration says ico_radio_inactive. On my phone, this appears twice. This
then brings us to an edit box where we can enter a number. Prowling around
the page I found things like time and date. If you wander up there, a number
pad will appear at the bottom. 

I'd love to know if any of you have success with these work-arounds.

Thanks so much.

Veronica

Sounds quite similar to the iOS, although I haven't yet completed the process of entering a calibration. But they sure have a bunch of unlabeled buttons!

Hello here's some observations that I have seen on the dexcom g7 app version
on android. Thaat  the days to check for trends sticks on the android
version which some of you wer saying does not stick and goes back to 14 days
on the I OS side . I can set it to  whatever   days 3, 7, or etc, and it
will stick no matter if I turn the device on or off or close the dexcom app
or not. The next observation,  I se in the android version of dexcom g7 ,
when your doing a  calabration  , when you enter in your calabration number
, from your  glucometer, it gives you a notes section to enter  any info
about that  calabration, number entered. Once you hit done, then you have to
tap save two times. The first time to  save the info and the second time to

Yesterday I was able to do a calibration on iOS, but was not able to tap on the button that says use as calibration. I had to tap on a very strangely labeled button just above that. On the clarity card at the bottom of the Dexcom app I can now select Seven days, 14 days, and 30 days. It will not allow me to select three days or 90 days.
 My apps do not  update automatically and I am currently using the Dexcom 2.9.0 version.  It is reading me the trend graph.
Patricia.

I know that I am not a true diabetic right now as my A1C was only a 6.2 but
I don't want to become one as no one who has it, does. So what I am
wondering is what kinds of foods should I be looking at as my go to foods?
Growing up in a family where diabetes came at an older age I want to be
aware of what to do before it happens to me. Thanks for your suggestions!

Nope, all buttons are labeled  on the android side.  Only issue right now is just reading of the graphs.  If I could have that  back  and fixed, I would  be a very happy camper

Hello here's some observations that I have seen on the dexcom g7 app version on android. Thaat  the days to check for trends sticks on the android version which some of you wer saying does not stick and goes back to 14 days
on the I OS side . I can set it to  whatever   days 3, 7, or etc, and it

The next observation,  I se in the android version of dexcom g7 , when your doing a  calabration  , when you enter in your calabration number , from your  glucometer, it gives you a notes section to enter  any info about that  calabration, number entered. Once you hit done, then you have to tap save two times. The first time to  save the info and the second time to hit save to confirm. This was not the case on the previous version of the dexcom g7 app on android.these are things I have  seen change and been fixed.

*Hi Veronica,*
*Some people develop diabetes over years, and others in days to weeks. *
*An A1C of 6.2, is above the "normal" range. Eating well doesn't just
pertain to those with diabetes. Recommended "diets" (meal plans) include
The Mediterranean Diet, The DASH diet, and a Vegetarian diet. Some follow a
low-carb diet, but it may not be so healthy for your heart. Diabetes
management is much more than following a healthy diet. If you know your A1C
then they can refer you to a CDCES- certified diabetes care and education
specialist who can help you. *
*Diabetes is an illness with serious long-term complications, but
management doesn't preclude living a healthy life. *
*Might you feel better taking better care of yourself whether you consider
yourself to have diabetes or not?*
*Take care,*
*Jane Ferguson*

Hello List Members:

In looking at both programs I thought that speakers were great!

I think we need to hear from diabetes Educators and find diabetes educators
that know how to work with blind people.

We need to hear from the TaskForce that/Advisory group that is following the
different pump manufacturers and their progress in making pumps accessible
for the blind, and their apps.  

We also need to hear from Libra and Dexcom on their products for monitoring
our glucose, their app and devices.

We need to hear from those that know what works best.

The Diabetes Action Network needs to send a couple of people to a conference
to speak to Diabetes Educators on how they best can help blind indivisuals
in learning how to use the pump and glucose monitoring devices.

In the future I think some of these topics would be good just on a Zoom call
and the program be recorded and made available after the session.

Personally at this time for me, being on dialysis it would be difficult to
travel for an in-person meeting or even attending the national convention as
I would be missing out on many of the activities. The annual convention can
maybe focus on other things and having the annual business meeting.

Veronica. I don’t have those sort of issues on the android side.   All I have to do on the android side is tap on ad event, then blood or finger stick calabration, then there are two buttons which have a uncheck box next to it . If I tap on the  box  for user finger stick calabration, then an edit box pops up, enter in the finger stick calabration,   hit  next ,the  note section pops up , then hit done an then I have two tap on the save button twice in order for  the calabration to take effect. This is   on the android side with version 2.9.1 of the dexcom g7 app.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Dexcom G7 app. Clarity card info, and entering finger stick calibration.

Hi everyone.

After discovering things that changed in the most recent iOS update, and hearing from many of you, I have two things I'd like you to try and see what results you get.

First, clarity card info. Many of us have noticed that in choosing the time period to report, we could only choose 14 days. Well, I rebooted my phone and this feature started behaving again. I'd love to know if this happens for the rest of you.

Second, it used to be very easy to enter a calibration from a finger stick.
Now, in the dialog, there are a bunch of unlabeled images.

I want to see if my instructions to get in there work for the rest of you, while we're waiting on Dexcom to label the images. First, choose event, which says, Ico plus. Add. On the page that opens, which says, add event, choose blood glucose, finger stick or calibration button. The next page says entry type. This is the one with unlabeled images. The one for entering a calibration says ico_radio_inactive. On my phone, this appears twice. This then brings us to an edit box where we can enter a number. Prowling around the page I found things like time and date. If you wander up there, a number pad will appear at the bottom. 

I'd love to know if any of you have success with these work-arounds.

Thanks so much.

Veronica

Hello List Members:

In looking at both programs I thought that speakers were great!

I think we need to hear from diabetes Educators and find diabetes educators that know how to work with blind people.

We need to hear from the TaskForce that/Advisory group that is following the different pump manufacturers and their progress in making pumps accessible for the blind, and their apps.  

We also need to hear from Libra and Dexcom on their products for monitoring our glucose, their app and devices.

We need to hear from those that know what works best.

The Diabetes Action Network needs to send a couple of people to a conference to speak to Diabetes Educators on how they best can help blind indivisuals in learning how to use the pump and glucose monitoring devices.

In the future I think some of these topics would be good just on a Zoom call and the program be recorded and made available after the session.

Personally at this time for me, being on dialysis it would be difficult to travel for an in-person meeting or even attending the national convention as I would be missing out on many of the activities. The annual convention can maybe focus on other things and having the annual business meeting.

On behalf of the Diabetes Action Network Board of Directors, I've been asked to send along the two agendas we have used in the 2024 and 2025 seminars.
Please look these over and tell us what you want to see that would be enough to get your attendance. 
Please be creative. What vital presentations are we missing? What should we be asking to inform our community? Are you more interested in an in-person event or one that is done virtually? Will the time of year influence whether or not you will attend?

Please reply to the list with the subject Knowledge is Sweet.

Thank you.

Gary Wunder

Milton,
Those are all great ideas. You are right that it is very important that we get in front of diabetes educators and let them know what our needs are and how best to teach people who are blind or have low vision. Recently, some of us from the task force have been able to speak to various groups about what devices are currently accessible, and what the challenges are in making devices fully accessible, as well as our concerns about when there are technology updates that they can affect our accessibility. Next week some of us will be speaking at a zoom event sponsored by Envision America the makers of Script Talk about accessibility, blindness, and diabetes tools. This event is being heavily marketed to pharmacists who often are also diabetes, educators, and other health professionals along with anyone who might be interested in listening. I will forward the announcement and link to register for this free event in a separate email.
Some other events that are available to access on demand include, an interview with Veronica Elsea on the diabetech podcast. In I believe March and a presentation on. June 26 with the Florida Outreach Center For The Blind.  I will also forward the recording of the Florida outreach center for the Blind event, and the podcast of the other event can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.

One key thing that has helped me, is to pair a protein with your carbs 
or sweets. i.e. steak and potato, apple and peanut butter, nuts and 
m&ms. There are also things that help slow the carbs. Storing your 
potatoes in the fridge will help keep those carbs from spiking. You 
still have the same amount of carbs, but they won't rush through your 
system.

While the amount of information can be over-whelming, take notes one 
meal at a time. i.e. Today you test before dinner, write down what you 
eat with the item, amount, and carbs, 2 hours after your meal, test 
again and keep notes. Tomorrow, or in a couple of days, track your 
breakfast this way. Figure out what system works for you to organize 
your notes and over time you will learn what foods spike your numbers 
and down the road you will know how much insulin to take based on what 
you will be eating. Follow your doctor's orders, but when you have 
enough information, you will be ready to take that to your doctor and 
help make decisions about your care.

I learned that my body does not handle changes to my insulin dosage well 
and we have to only change one unit at a time and give my body around a 
month to adjust to the change. My doctor and I are partners and have 
learned that if I make a big objection to something, I have reasons to 
back it up.

My suggestion of spacing out the tracking of information on meals is 
because it becomes too consuming to track every detail of every meal and 
snack of every day. This wears you down and does not help you understand 
the information you are tracking and gathering. Remember, you can do 
this and don't let anyone tell you that you can't just because you are 
blind. This group will help you when you come across accessibility barriers.

Good luck,
Cindy

Veronica,Just a few points to share about carbohydrate foods. These are of course, grains, starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, legumes, fruits, and milk and yogurt. whole grains, such as multigrain bread and oatmeal are more healthy than those made from refined grains such as white bread and dry cereals and don’t tend to spike the blood  glucose as rapidly. all of these things turn into Sugar, but we cannot live without any carbohydrate as that is the bodies fuel. One of the keys is quantity. If eating a whole sandwich or a whole hamburger with a full hamburger bun, makes the blood glucose go too high, which is defined as over 180 after eating then perhaps a half a sandwich would work just fine. It’s not so much a matter of eliminating certain foods and only including others but the amount makes a huge difference. eating low-fat and lean proteins plus healthy fats at a meal or a snack as was mentioned before definitely can help blunt the effect of the carbohydrate foods. eating small meals and snacks spread throughout the day as well as doing even just a little bit of exercise after meals can really help blunt the spikes in blood glucose after eating. regular exercise, such as walking at whatever pace is comfortable for you done regularly has a 24 hour carryover effect of  lowering blood glucose.

I agree with Milton. I am personally tired of going to meetings that are 
supposed to be education opportunities for those that are diabetic and 
blind and they have sighted speakers that want to give people hand outs. 
I have also run across this in regards to nutritionists. They don't want 
to provide electronic versions of material and what they do give you is 
inaccessible.

What is DAN doing to educate endocrinologists and diabetes educators on 
what is available for blind people? I am lucky that my doctor okays 
anything I need and his assistants have been great at figuring out how 
to work with me on things but I have to be the one to give them the 
information. While we should learn to advocate for ourselves, a blind 
person being told they are diabetic and need to start testing and 
counting, etc. does not help them know where to turn.

Just my own frustrations with some things.

Excellent suggestions Patricia,
I like using the plate method but at times that's not possible, so small portions of the right kind of carbs, proteins help me personally.
Thank you everyone for your input

Subject: Re: [Diabetes-Talk] Eating well as a diabetic

Veronica,Just a few points to share about carbohydrate foods. These are of course, grains, starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, legumes, fruits, and milk and yogurt. whole grains, such as multigrain bread and oatmeal are more healthy than those made from refined grains such as white bread and dry cereals and don’t tend to spike the blood  glucose as rapidly. all of these things turn into Sugar, but we cannot live without any carbohydrate as that is the bodies fuel. One of the keys is quantity. If eating a whole sandwich or a whole hamburger with a full hamburger bun, makes the blood glucose go too high, which is defined as over 180 after eating then perhaps a half a sandwich would work just fine. It’s not so much a matter of eliminating certain foods and only including others but the amount makes a huge difference. eating low-fat and lean proteins plus healthy fats at a meal or a snack as was mentioned before definitely can help blunt the effect of the carbohydrate foods. eating small meals and snacks spread throughout the day as well as doing even just a little bit of exercise after meals can really help blunt the spikes in blood glucose after eating. regular exercise, such as walking at whatever pace is comfortable for you done regularly has a 24 hour carryover effect of  lowering blood glucose.

Thank you very much for your ideas. I mean, I just don't know. I know what WW says but again they really want you to eat fake sugars and fake sugars aren't always the best thing for people. Like the stuff that comes in the blue packets, Equal, makes my head hurt.  Appples paired with peanut butter and if I need to, I can use the powdered peanut butter mixed with a bit of water to make it creamy. This way I cut out the fat. In my opinion, I am getting the best of both worlds.
Thanks again!

Veronica

One key thing that has helped me, is to pair a protein with your carbs 
or sweets. i.e. steak and potato, apple and peanut butter, nuts and 
m&ms. There are also things that help slow the carbs. Storing your 
potatoes in the fridge will help keep those carbs from spiking. You 
still have the same amount of carbs, but they won't rush through your 
system.

While the amount of information can be over-whelming, take notes one 
meal at a time. i.e. Today you test before dinner, write down what you 
eat with the item, amount, and carbs, 2 hours after your meal, test 
again and keep notes. Tomorrow, or in a couple of days, track your 
breakfast this way. Figure out what system works for you to organize 
your notes and over time you will learn what foods spike your numbers 
and down the road you will know how much insulin to take based on what 
you will be eating. Follow your doctor's orders, but when you have 
enough information, you will be ready to take that to your doctor and 
help make decisions about your care.

I learned that my body does not handle changes to my insulin dosage well 
and we have to only change one unit at a time and give my body around a 
month to adjust to the change. My doctor and I are partners and have 
learned that if I make a big objection to something, I have reasons to 
back it up.

My suggestion of spacing out the tracking of information on meals is 
because it becomes too consuming to track every detail of every meal and 
snack of every day. This wears you down and does not help you understand 
the information you are tracking and gathering. Remember, you can do 
this and don't let anyone tell you that you can't just because you are 
blind. This group will help you when you come across accessibility barriers.

Good luck,
Cindy

Hi Veronica,

I am just reading this and someone may have already pointed this with you or shared it but I've been a type 1 for 41 years now and on July 31st of this year, in a week or so, I will celebrate  1 year of my second kidney transplant!
I personally like the plate method because I can have a variety of different foods each time I eat.
It is all in the portion and moderation.
We are all human and yes, we at times eat something we probably shouldn't but you know what?
Life's to short and enjoy what you can when you have it but don't make it a daily thing and always keep a close watch on your glucose/A1C and keep appointments.
I wish you all my best.

Sugar

“May the words of our soul be sweeter than honey dripping from the comb.”
😘, Sugar

Veronica,Just a few points to share about carbohydrate foods. These are of course, grains, starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, legumes, fruits, and milk and yogurt. whole grains, such as multigrain bread and oatmeal are more healthy than those made from refined grains such as white bread and dry cereals and don’t tend to spike the blood  glucose as rapidly. all of these things turn into Sugar, but we cannot live without any carbohydrate as that is the bodies fuel. One of the keys is quantity. If eating a whole sandwich or a whole hamburger with a full hamburger bun, makes the blood glucose go too high, which is defined as over 180 after eating then perhaps a half a sandwich would work just fine. It’s not so much a matter of eliminating certain foods and only including others but the amount makes a huge difference. eating low-fat and lean proteins plus healthy fats at a meal or a snack as was mentioned before definitely can help blunt the effect of the carbohydrate foods. eating small meals and snacks spread throughout the day as well as doing even just a little bit of exercise after meals can really help blunt the spikes in blood glucose after eating. regular exercise, such as walking at whatever pace is comfortable for you done regularly has a 24 hour carryover effect of  lowering blood glucose.

Hi All,

 

I've started asking my diabetes supply company about upgrading to the 10 day
Dexcom G7 system from my G6 system. I don't know why I was so foolish to
think it would be an easy change over, but they aregiving me a difficult
time wanting to know when I started using the G6 receiver. Huh? It's been
quite a few years now that I've been using G6 sensors and of course, like
all of us blind diabetics I've never been able to utilize a dexom receiver
even though I have it stored away in a box. 

 

Anyway the supply company who I've also been using for ages tells me they
have no record of when I got the g6 receiver/system. I did put a call into
medicare yesterday and they tell me the supply company is suppose to keep
those records. The other weird thing is Medicare only has a record of when I
started using the G5 system back in 2017.

 

Have any others among you had this issue with switching Dexcom systems?
Anythoughts on how to handle this problem. At this point I'm tempted to try
and change supply companies from the current mail order company to just
going to my local Walgreens.

 

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas on this one.

 

Eileen

Hi Veronica,

I am just reading this and someone may have already pointed this with you or shared it but I've been a type 1 for 41 years now and on July 31st of this year, in a week or so, I will celebrate  1 year of my second kidney transplant!
I personally like the plate method because I can have a variety of different foods each time I eat.
It is all in the portion and moderation.

Eileen,
It seems like I do recall having been asked this question at some point, but it may have been even when I switched from the G5 to the G6. Apparently this falls into the same category of the Medicare requirement that you have to have an insulin pump for five years before they will replace it and this seems to apply to the CGM receivers, even though none of us even use one. It sounds like nobody kept records on this so you might try just telling them that you started the G6 over five years ago and that will get you beyond the Medicare requirement for replacement. This is definitely an outmoded rule as no one uses the receivers anymore and technology changes way too fast for people to be committed to five years on anything.
Sorry to hear about this frustration as it seems like if it’s not one thing it’s another with insurance regulations.
Patricia

This is Doula's husband, Wesley.

I'm want to apologize in advance for being so blunt but I don't know any
easy way to say this.

I've been trying to let all of her friends know that she passed away on
July 14th, 2025. She spent twelve years teaching me that some women
actually are worth having around. She was wonderful.

Oh man, this is annoying. I use US Med and have not had an issue. I didn't even get a receiver with the G7 and frankly, pretty soon you will be transitioned because Dexcom will discontinue the G6. Good grief!
The little imp in me couldn't help but think, hey, if they have no record of you starting, maybe you could just pretend you're newly starting CGM and want the G7. Laughing! But this is the first time I've heard any mention of the 5-year rule for a receiver. Crossing all digits for you. Please keep us posted.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Upgrading to Dexcom G7?

Hi All,

 

I've started asking my diabetes supply company about upgrading to the 10 day
Dexcom G7 system from my G6 system. I don't know why I was so foolish to
think it would be an easy change over, but they aregiving me a difficult
time wanting to know when I started using the G6 receiver. Huh? It's been
quite a few years now that I've been using G6 sensors and of course, like
all of us blind diabetics I've never been able to utilize a dexom receiver
even though I have it stored away in a box. 

 

Anyway the supply company who I've also been using for ages tells me they
have no record of when I got the g6 receiver/system. I did put a call into
medicare yesterday and they tell me the supply company is suppose to keep
those records. The other weird thing is Medicare only has a record of when I
started using the G5 system back in 2017.

 

Have any others among you had this issue with switching Dexcom systems?
Anythoughts on how to handle this problem. At this point I'm tempted to try
and change supply companies from the current mail order company to just
going to my local Walgreens.

 

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas on this one.

 

Eileen

Eileen,
It seems like I do recall having been asked this question at some point, but it may have been even when I switched from the G5 to the G6. Apparently this falls into the same category of the Medicare requirement that you have to have an insulin pump for five years before they will replace it and this seems to apply to the CGM receivers, even though none of us even use one. It sounds like nobody kept records on this so you might try just telling them that you started the G6 over five years ago and that will get you beyond the Medicare requirement for replacement. This is definitely an outmoded rule as no one uses the receivers anymore and technology changes way too fast for people to be committed to five years on anything.
Sorry to hear about this frustration as it seems like if it’s not one thing it’s another with insurance regulations.

This is Doula's husband, Wesley.

I'm want to apologize in advance for being so blunt but I don't know any
easy way to say this.

I've been trying to let all of her friends know that she passed away on
July 14th, 2025. She spent twelve years teaching me that some women
actually are worth having around. She was wonderful.

Eileen, it might not hurt to call Dexcom. They do have people who can help with Medicare and insurance nonsense and offer you suggestions What have you got to lose? Just a random thought from me.

It sounds like nobody kept records on this so you might try just telling them that you started the G6 over five years ago and that will get you beyond the Medicare requirement for replacement. This is definitely an outmoded rule as no one uses the receivers anymore and technology changes way too fast for people to be committed to five years on anything.
Sorry to hear about this frustration as it seems like if it’s not one thing it’s another with insurance regulations.

I don't know why I was so foolish to think it would be an easy change over, but they aregiving me a difficult time wanting to know when I started using the G6 receiver. Huh? It's been quite a few years now that I've been using G6 sensors and of course, like all of us blind diabetics I've never been able to utilize a dexom receiver even though I have it stored away in a box.

I did put a call into medicare yesterday and they tell me the supply company is suppose to keep those records. The other weird thing is Medicare only has a record of when I started using the G5 system back in 2017.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] Availability of Dexcom expedited replacements in
 case you run out
Message-ID: <F1DFB33E-45F4-474B-BFB9-9E16758FC08A@comcast.net>

I was just listening to this last week’s episode of the Diabetech podcast. He was interviewing the CEO of Dexcom on a variety of issues but one thing they discussed was if the last sensor that you have fails and even if you call it will take several days for the replacement to arrive. The CEO said that when you call for your replacement in this situation to tell them that you have no more on hand and they can either expedite your mailed replacement or email you a QR code that you can then take to a local pharmacy that carries the sensors for a free immediate replacement. I was not aware of this policy and thought it would be of interest to the group. he also indicated that there is no limit to the number of replacements that you can be sent if it is due to a sensor failure. The new 15 day sensor they have developed will be released later this year, but for some people they may not last the full 15 days and replacements will be available.

I will wait til the  time  comes to go to the 15 day dexcom g7 or whatever  it will be called. Will give it time to  be tested and refined  in the marketplace in real world situations, before taking the plunge into the 15 dexcom g7 or whatever  it will be called journey.
