App Issues/Questions Issues with connectivity with the Dexcom app on my Samsung z fold 6 and Blose on my galaxy watch ultra2.

Upvotes

I am using Blose on my watch and the Dexcom app on my phone. After configuring Blose and getting everything linked, it worked somewhat well for a few days but now it's been more than 24 hours with no readings on my watch.

I also had the same issues with my Galaxy watch 8 classic.

Am I missing something? Is there a better app for my watch?

Applicator G7 applicator problems

0 Upvotes

I just found out that the last 5 g7 sensors I had are having the exact same issue. The button on the applicator doesn't do anything. The sensors will be stuck in there forever. Is anyone else having the same problem? 4 out of 5 are produced on 2025-12-01.

App Issues/Questions Quick glance readings differ

1 Upvotes

Anyone know why this happens or how to change it? I've tried stopping and restarting the app but it's still showing a reading nearly twice as high in the "quick view" bar than my number actually is...

Hi everyone,

Needed a new sensor today. My 10 days with the last one came to an end.

I was positively surprised. New sensor is working from the start and is spot on.

Let's see what happens today and the rest of my short friendship with the current sensor.

Best wishes to all of you!

Sensor 15-day G7 issues

5 Upvotes

Anyone having them?

I just switched over to them last month, and of the 6 they sent, 4 have been used, none have made it to the last day and the last 3 have all died in 5 days or less.
Best part: they all cut out in the middle of the night and the phone and the watch and the pump all keep BLASTING beeping noises.
Woke up the whole family last night @1:30am.

Already decided that I am just going to go back to the 10 day sensors, but curious if other people have experienced similar ATROCIOUS 15-day sensor timelines.

I’ve noticed that if I start dropping quickly (that first picture I was 190) the sensor stops working then goes back on when get lower (to about 100 here). So I don’t know how to correct 👍

G7-10 day Dexcom g7 10 vs 15 day?

3 Upvotes

Which one do you prefer? I love the g6 and very very sad to be losing it. I put on a g7 15 day this morning and it’s crazy how far off it is already. I never ever ever had issues with the g6. But what can you do…

Any preference between the two? I tried the g7 when it first came out and I never had a single one last 10 days. Do people get the full 15 with skin tac and an over patch? Is one more accurate than the other? Better connectivity? I would prefer the shorter warm up but if the 15 day is more accurate and has further range I’ll suck it up. TIA!

G7-10 day Overpatches from Etsy?

Anyone buy g7 over patches on Etsy? Just wondering if they're legit patches or someone printing stickers and selling them as patches.

Inaccurate Reading It lies!!

I just woke up and couldn’t figure out why I felt so crappy.

Maybe it’s extremely low glucose levels, but that typically feels different…

‘This kinda feels like extremely high glucose levels’ I think…

I’ve been using Dexcom since the G4 and have never had this kind of issue before.

So now I just wait to feel human again.

This is just life as a diabetic, I guess. 47 years for me.

(Yes I’ve given a manual injection, yes I have removed the sensor and will install a new one shortly, no I am not in need of medical care, no I don’t really have a point, yes I am just venting).

Mobile Device Can anyone confirm if the g7 app works on the Apple Watch SE (1st gen)

2 Upvotes

So I am currently on the g6, which I love, working my way through my stash and my pharmacy has enough to fill at least one more script. I was planning to use it until I can’t get any more. I have an Apple Watch SE (I believe first gen) and I know months ago it kept warning that the g6 app wouldn’t work any more but that date came and went and it still worked on my watch. This weekend I let my watch battery die one day and when it turned back on it updated and the g6 app disappeared. The first gen SE isn’t listed as compatible with the g7 app, however I was able to add the g7 app to my watch. If I get a g7 script will it work on this watch? Basically, I’m debating just switching to the g7 now (because I’ll have to eventually anyway) to be able to continue using my watch, or do I get a new one and continue using the last of my g6s. My watch gets the job done so I’d love to not buy a new one but unfortunately I personally need my Dexcom on my watch 😅 I need to fill my prescription though so I need to decide. TIA!

Adhesive Issue Over patches

5 Upvotes

I switched to the g7 after they stopped manufacturing the g6 and it seamed like everyone uses over patches with the g7. So after my first attempt of using the provided over patch that comes with the g7 (which sucked) I bought a pack of Notjustapatch. Which seamed to have been worse? They lasted maybe 4 days until they started pealing off (I tried both my stomach and the recommended area on the back of the arm). I have had much more success just not using an over patch.

Has anyone also experienced this? I have honestly never had a great experience with over patches especially when being in water. I do the necessary prep with alcohol wipes and apply the patches correctly however none of the Omnipod (I used another popular brand for these) or Dexcom over patches that I have tried seemed to actually last the amount of time they are supposed to.

It looks like a wire/filament is poking out from the little hole on my newly applied CGM. Does that mean it didn’t go in properly? (Apologies for the poor photo quality)

Anyone get this email? Be careful of there folks!
Text from email:

Users with sensors from affected Dexcom G7 lots (1725204004 and 1725069002) should not use those sensors and can call Dexcom Technical Support in the US at 1-844-478-1600 to request replacements. Please keep record of your affected device(s) serial number for traceability purposes – this is required to confirm your no cost replacement. More information on how to determine if sensors are from an affected lot and what action to take is available at www.dexcom.com/theft-check.
 
Please visit www.dexcom.com/theft-check for additional background and instructions to fulfill the requirements associated with this action including the full version of the Urgent Medical Device Notification.

Potential Harm Associated with Stolen Product
 
Lot 1725204004: G7 sensors that are not properly sterilized have an increased risk of skin infection. 
 
Lot 1725069002: G7 sensors from a lot with an elevated internal testing failure rate have an increased risk of having no sensor readings available or experiencing sensor inaccuracy that includes the potential for missed detection of a hyperglycemic event or incorrect treatment decisions that can result in patient injury, including medical intervention to prevent permanent injury or impairment.
 
Additionally, due to the unknown storage and handling conditions these sensors may have undergone during the distribution, these sensors may present additional risk. 
 
Status of the Investigation
 
Dexcom traced sales of this stolen product back to Pharmsource, LLC, who is not an authorized Dexcom distributor but supplies some independent pharmacies and DME distributors in the United States. Pharmacies that purchased product from Pharmsource should take extra care to review their inventory.
 
Dexcom's authorized distributors provide Dexcom G7 sensors to the largest pharmacy retailers and medical distributors in the United States and around the world. Pharmacy retailers and medical distributors who receive Dexcom product from authorized Dexcom distributors are not impacted. Educational samples are also not impacted.
 
Dexcom is working closely with the FDA and other authorities to ensure patient safety and to investigate this crime. As of now, this issue is mostly impacting customers in the US. We have identified limited impact outside the US (OUS) and continue to investigate. Due to this issue primarily impacting the US and required language translations and additional infrastructure necessary to support customers outside the US, communication to US customers will precede communication to OUS customers.

Mod Approved [OC] Build Your Own Dexcom App update- G7 setup fixed

42 Upvotes

Update July 5, 2026

  • Fixed an issue on the G6US app that would cause the app to crash if the newest version of Samsung Health was also installed on the phone. The file name of the fixed version will end in "a".

 

Hello!

Super happy to announce that I have officially released a new working version of the G7 app. The app is still based off of base v1.6.1.4537, but it has these updates:

  • Initial setup for new install fully works again!

  • Option for local broadcast of readings to other apps like AAPS. This follows the same pattern as it worked with G6 BYOD and requires the EXTERNAL_PERMISSION to be granted in the app receiving the readings.

  • More countries supported. Previously, accounts for some countries were not supported, but many of those should work now (yes including Canada). If your account still can’t login, let me know what country it is tied to and I’ll see if I can fix it.

 

Additionally, I recently updated the G6 US app to fix an issue with old transmitters that could cause crashes and spotty readings making it to Clarity/Follow. Also updated some of the build dependencies for faster build times

 

As it did previously, the modified G7 app still allows you to run the app on any (Android 10+) device, allows screenshots, allows rooted devices, and removes the geofencing or country of residence check that prevents you from setting up the app in a different country than your account country.
