The Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor helps users monitor their blood sugar data in real-time and as of today, it is available on an Apple Watch. In a press release, the direct data was one of the most requested features by users. Once the program is paired to the device, the Dexcom G7 will use its Bluetooth connection to send out personal alerts to the wrist as well as glucose readings.
They will be able to obtain the data whilst out on a walk and without their phones. Previously, the Dexcom G7 Apple Watch app had a three-hour delay with the synced data but was still accessible on the watch face screen. This update also shares data with family and friends if they are within range.
