CGM features and fixes · Dexcom G6
Does the Dexcom G6 work with Apple Watch?
What Dexcom G6’s own apps (Dexcom G6 app, Dexcom Follow) do, from the maker’s documents.
Yes
The G6 app has an Apple Watch app that shows the reading, trend arrow and graph, but the watch gets data only through a connected iPhone. Dexcom Follow also runs on Apple Watch. (Dexcom; App Store listing)
With Glide
Yes
Glide has an Apple Watch app and two watch face complications. The watch signs in from the iPhone; the app shows the number, the change per 5 minutes, how old the reading is and the last 3 hours. (/dexcom#apple-watch)
