Does the Dexcom G7 have an iPhone widget?

What Dexcom G7’s own apps (Dexcom G7 app, Dexcom Follow) do, from the maker’s documents.

Yes

The G7 app (version 2.4 or later) has iPhone widgets for the home screen, Today View and lock screen. iOS limits how often a widget updates, so it can show '---'. Dexcom does not mention a Live Activity. (Dexcom)
