Great video Ben! Thanks for all the info with compatible phones. Why do you have my phone number under scam likely?

Please make video for Huawei watch 4 blood glucose measure (chaina) video

I have always checked this before upgrading. Glad you made this video. Not everyone thinks of this.

Thank you, Dawn. Feel free to share with your friends and family who aren't as tech savvy as you. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video. I am in the market for a new phone. Thank you for spending the time researching the options. Very helpful. 🙂

Hi, I love your tech talks. I've just started Omnipod 5 (& Dexcom for several years, G6 currently). Wanting to use a watch - new territory for me. We use google fi & I currently have non-compatible Google 5a phone & was looking into Samsung S23 to be able to integrate w Omnipod 5. Surprised you didn't mention it. How is the S23 with wearables and using O-5/ G6?

[@typ3me]

Thank you, Lori. The s23 unfortunately didn't hit the top list because it was not compatible with at least 6 of the 7 categories. However, it is a good option, and the video has links in the description to help you find compatibility links to any device you wish to use.

Thank you for all your great content!! Any thoughts on an Apple Watch face/complication that will show the Dexcom reading in a BIG font?? I can do this no problem with my Samsung, but very limited with Apple. Thanks!

[@typ3me]

Thank you, Eric. Either the iOS17 update on phones or the OS10 update in watches was the culprit. Unfortunately, there is no timeline on when the first software patches will roll out to fix the issue. Until then, get you magnifying glasses ready because it might take a few months.

[@etothej]

@@typ3me Yeah, I guess you're right. I saw a video on here where someone used the Modular face and was able to make Dexcom the middle complication, which was nice and big, but when I try and do that, Dexcom is not listed as an option for the middle complication. Very frustrating. Android is so much better in this arena!

[@sharifmunshi]

Thx for the video, but what's new here. Thought you were talking about leaving the phone and just use watch

[@typ3me]

Thanks, the title says nothing about watches. Sorry for the confusion.

[@javip89]

What happened to the s23? Im currently using for the omnipod 5 and G6 and works flawlessly.

[@typ3me]

Unfortunately the s23 is not compatible with the Omnipod 5. It’s an amazing device but not high on compatibility.

“Would you say there are a plethora of women?” Lol IYKYK

[@maxmulholland9229]

Going to be getting the omnipod 5 dexcom g6 this year and looking for a phone Deciding between s22 and Google pixel 7/7a both google phones they are compatible with dexcom g6 is this correct? And are they compable with omnipod 5 as well? Im from UK?

[@typ3me]

The list update often. If you check the video description you can find links to help you find the most updated compatibility lists.

[@ashlyneliason2607]

I see that the apple watch is now FDA approved, but does that mean it is ready to go?

[@typ3me]

Although it has been FDA approved it has both yet been released in the US as of today 4/3/2024. Hopefully we see the update roll out very soon.

[@codelinx]

Loop system. Look at the loop system it's so much better than the Omnipod 5. It's not even close.

[@glomommy7656]

Also… I’m just so annoyed that the FDA hasn’t approved app for the iPhone yet!!!

[@typ3me]

Right!

[@berad3574]

They’re sending out replacement pdm’s to everyone. Apparently you have to go through hell week again to set up the new one. My initial few pods… I was in BAAAD shape until it calibrated. I’m not gonna use the new pdm. I’m gonna wait til the iPhone app comes out before I start ALL OVER.

[@typ3me]

The iPhone omni5 compatability cannot come soon enough

[@donnamcclure592]

I have a Samsung s22+. I have purchased and returned several galaxy watches to try and see my blood sugar readings from my Dexcon g6. Never could get anything to work! NOTHING SHOULD BE THAT HARD!

[@typ3me]

I just switched to apple. The watch cgm is super to set up but it is unrealistically hard to see on the Home Screen.

[@donnamcclure592]

@typ3me so you no longer use samsung? I've thought about it.. but don't know if I would like the iPhone, I've always had Android. My friend has type 1 also and her iPhone was a breeze to see her blood sugars from her dexcom. Thank you.

[@OmMohamed-fr2ob]

What is it about. Please ?

[@berad3574]

iPhone app got the FDA clearance today! Hopefully that means the app will be out soon finally!
