The new Dexcom Follow App is part of the Dexcom SHARE® system. Use this app if your loved one is sharing data from their Dexcom CGM app. The Sharer will need to send an invitation to allow you to connect after you have installed the Follow app. Dexcom Follow works seamlessly with your loved one’s Dexcom CGM, giving you visibility into their glucose data, even when they’re far away. Dexcom Follow allows you to view and follow their glucose levels, trends and data right from the app. Whether your child is in school, your parent lives independently, or your partner is traveling, Dexcom Follow helps you stay connected and informed. With Dexcom Follow, you can: • Remotely monitor your loved one’s glucose at a glance from your phone or Apple Watch† • Receive glucose information of up to 25 different Sharers – children, friends, or other loved ones – if you know multiple people with diabetes • Respond quickly with the help of customizable glucose alerts and push notifications that can inform you when a Sharer’s glucose levels are outside of target range ## Key features - Remote glucose monitoring - View glucose trends - Customizable glucose alerts - Push notifications - Monitor up to 25 sharers ## Chart rankings - #44 in Top Free · Medical (US App Store) ## What do users think of Dexcom Follow?

Try again later” An online search shows this has been happening for a long time to other users (admittedly not every user). There doesn’t seem to be a solution and Dexcom obviously aren’t bothered to sort it which on a medical device is totally unacceptable. In this age of technology this should be a straight forward task to complete. The result however is this app is totally unusable. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2026-08-07* Unreliable, stops receiving readings. In 2 days of use already lost follower status. Needed a new invite. Isn’t reliable even less than 6 feet apart. Is as bad as the main app. The whole Dexcom system is a failure. ### 1/5 — Come on Dexcom! Update this app so we can support our T1D loved ones better!! *2026-08-07* This app is awful! I follow 2 T1D loved ones and the app takes forever to load. I prefer the previous version so much more. I wish I hadn’t updated the app. Do better Dexcom! This app could be lifesaving for people but it’s garbage. ### 1/5 — Thanks for making life with T1D even more difficult *2026-07-30, version 1.3.1* Never had any connectivity issues with the old app on my Android phone. Was very happy with both the primary app and the follow app. Switched to iPhone recently so my son could have readings go direct to watch. My son, my husband (still on Android), and myself all downloaded the “new” app. Connectivity has been horrible. My son has frequent “sensor out of range” alerts when the phone is literally in his pocket, and his OmniPod app is getting readings. My husband gets audible notifications even when all of his alerts are turned off in his profile. I haven’t been able to open the app for 3 days even though the widget is still displaying values and I am getting notifications. Clearly this was brought to market WAY before it was ready. Thanks for making caring for a child with T1D even more complicated, stressful, and difficult. ### 1/5 — We Need Better: A Parent’s Experience with Dexcom Follow and Apple Watch *2026-07-29* As the parent of a teenager with Type 1 diabetes, I need the Dexcom Follow app to work flawlessly. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. The Apple Watch experience is poor. It doesn’t reliably sync, requires opening the app to refresh, and lacks a true glanceable complication for continuous monitoring. Critical alerts also need to break through all iPhone Focus modes every time. This isn’t a convenience issue—it’s a safety issue. Dexcom’s CGM is excellent, but the Follow app feels years behind Apple’s capabilities. Parents deserve reliable Watch support and alerts they can trust. ### 1/5 — Urgent low *2026-07-28, version 1.3.1* Why did the app change. I can’t get more than one urgent low notification. The new app is scary. The features that the new app has don’t allow the user to control notification under 15 min and even worse and very scary, only one notification to urgent low. Why would you change this and not let a follower have their own flexibility. I have a child I monitor while we sleep. ### 4/5 — 招待メールは来ないので *2026-07-27* iCloudと光プロバイダのアドレスで試したが、確かに招待メールは届かない。運営側のシステムに問題がありそう。 共有者が自身のアカウントに登録したアドレスに招待を出すと受信できたので、その中のリンクをコピーして私のFollowの登録も成功した。 ちゃんと動作すれば大変便利。競合他社に比べてセンサーのエラー等も少ない。 ### 1/5 — Fire the team and salt the earth *2026-07-27, version 1.3.1* My goodness, the team that keeps this app together needs to be replaced. Or something needs to be done to fix the bugs, lags, crashes, and needed updates to make it a widget or more accessible… Won't update to my phone even though it has the data on the primary phone for my daughter. Salt the earth is necessary ### 2/5 — Needs a widget option *2026-07-26, version 1.3.1* Needs a widget option. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work *2026-07-26, version 1.3.1* I can’t even get it to work. Then when I get an account and I get in there, it logged me out constantly, so I’m not getting my child’s blood sugar. This app sucks. ## Frequently asked questions about Dexcom Follow ### What does the Dexcom Follow app do?
