  Very important, as the app is the way I connect to CareLink, which allows my sister to be a Care Partner and help me if I have missed an alert for a low. She has saved my life multiple times by being sure I am treating a low or have woken up to do so.

  I have T1D (and so does my Fiancé) I wish my family understood that I never get a break from diabetes and just having a little compassion would go a long way.

  Very important to see the readings on the phone. We all carry our phones these days, so it is much better than getting under coats, etc and unclipping the pump. BIG PLUS to Phone integration..... is the ability to ask Siri to tell me my CGM reading (and app also tells the trend arrow). It integrates to my car, so I can push a button on the steering wheel, ask for glucose and the car verbally announces reading and trend. BEST FEATURE EVER!

  I look at my pump for my numbers about 80% of the time and my phone the other 20%.

  Important but not very important. I always have on my pump so the phone is not absolutely necessary, but considering the alarms on my phone are louder than the alarms on my pump, it is nice to use my phone while sleeping so I will be awakened more easily if a low should occur.

  I guess I am a little confused as to your hypoglycemia unawareness. Do you not set your alarms to warn you of an impending low or high?

  My 14 y.o. daughter has been type 1 for 13 years. I wish my work / work friends understood how much it actually consumes my life as well as hers.

  In the Dexcom phone app settings, there's an option called "Siri Shortcuts." Tapping that option gives you the opportunity to set up a Siri question (i.e., "Hey Siri, What's my number?" ) The same cue will work with your Apple watch. There is a separate Shortcuts app, but some apps, like the Dexcom app, allow you to set up a shortcut within the app settings.

  It's important to me because the information automatically sent to my doctor's office. Currently app is down, 🙄 Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

  How do you ask Siri for this information? I have the Dexcom app, and am therefore able to see my SG profile on my watch, but haven't found the magic phrase for getting my sensor glucose (or "blood glucose") level through Siri. That would be really useful.

  While I understand how a phone could be more convenient, I don't use a phone enough to remember to carry it. Also, it doesn't keep a charge very well. So, if I had to carry my phone, I'd have to _carry_ my phone (it won't fit in my front pockets) and I'd be more likely to lose it because, eventually, I'd have to set it down somewhere. I like having my receiver in my pockets and I don't have to struggle with which app to use to see my BS numbers. I just hit one button and there they are. But, that's me... and, I'm a bit of a luddite anyway! :p

  I got my first dexcom about 6 or 7 years ago and immediately connected it to my iPhone. In fact I was the first diabetic in my endocrinologists office to share my info. The tech department had to figure out how to connect. Who needs another thing to carry around?

  It is not so much important as it is convenient, as I can glance at my phone, pulled from my pocket, easier than looking at my pump unclipped from my belt. As a side note, I have been unhappy with the tandem belt clip as it seems to be pulled off my belt all too often and then has to reside in my pocket.

  It is much easier to read on my large screen smartphone-bigger and brighter. Also I don’t need to unclip my pump from my belt which would be especially difficult while riding a bike.

  I’ll be switching from Libre to Dexcom when the G7 is released precisely because the so-called Customer Service team at Abbott cannot figure out why my iPhone will no longer activate or read a sensor.

  iPhone is my primary CGM receiver so it's absolutely important, but I also have Glance on my Fitbit watch which is great, and Sugarmate on my laptop, which is also handy. Phone is most critical though.

  My wife and I both use it. Unfortunately, recently my Medtronic pump on Android doesn't connect so this feature is unavailable now.

  I wish people understood the extreme level of chronic fatigue I have. My control is good so that’s not the problem- i count carbs, correct highs, and do cardio and weight training. I am so exhausted ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

  I am T1D. I would like my support person to experience dealing with a going low alarm/ situation to better understand the intensity. Maybe it's just me but 77 and an arrow pointing straight down on my reader isn't exactly a fun day at the park.
