UPDATE- Siri - What’s my glucose WORKS WITH LATEST UPDATE

After wasting so much time on this issue with Dexcom support not being able to confirm if the Dexcom app is the cause, I’m please to report the latest update has fixed the issue. Thank you. It’s such a great feature to have.

Didn’t allow to repeat low alarm in shorter time period

Not sure if it’s due to the new update or not, the app no longer makes any sound when my glucose is lower than 3.9 mmol.
And it doesn’t even allow users to select the option to repeat low alert after 5 mins. Imagine your phone goes silent while you are asleep at night, and you rely on it to wake you up for low glucose episode. Shame!

Rubbish Software

How can a company that develops medical equipment develop an app that is so unreliable and buggy? Lives are literally at stake and Dexcom insists on cheaping out in their development.

I’d change to Freestyle if they were any better.

Please fix Apple Watch link and Siri commands

Since the update to the app 1 month ago, I haven’t been able to see my BSL readings on my watch face.

I am also not able to check my BSL while driving, by giving Siri a command.

I’ve tried all the troubleshooting but based on various Dexcom and T1D forums and groups, everyone is experiencing the same rubbish.

Please fix asap!

Issues

Works great until Dexcom do an update and then there’s issues. The last update stopped Siri from being used with Dexcom so when driving that is a real problem. I called the technician and went through a whole process and then I went through a number of things myself and after three weeks I find out that it’s an issue with the last Dexcom update. Now Dexcom has asked whether a technician could phone me to go through the whole process that I’ve already tried over the last three weeks with no success. It would save everybody’s time and frustration to just say we need to do another update. And soon.
