Mastering the Omnipod 5: Pro Tips for Successful Diabetes Management
I was having trouble managing my B.S. for about a year. Seeing an endocrinologist corrected my hyperglycemia in one day!
Hi, does it still work even if my phone isn't on wifi/internet ? Will it still show the values up on the watch ?
Thanks for this…you saved me $150 😊
TY, saving this, I get my first Omnipod on Friday, I been on the G7 for 8 months now and love it.
I’m so excited to switch to G7! The number looks easy to see on the watch unlike G6.
I tried this several times but it would not maintain a connection. Definitely not ready for prime time.
Hmmm. I did a review video in it and since haven't really had too many issues. I wonder why.
When changing sensors, I don’t get the pair prompt. It takes several hours to get the prompt What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide
I'm not sure if there was an update but I don't get it the prompt any longer. I just go into the app setting to connection and autopromot it to establish a direct connection. Check your watch to enable the connection
Also in inside out 2!!
I receive the Success message but I can't get the reading on my watch. Galaxy 6 Classic. Dexcom G7.
Any luck yet? Have you tried restarting both devices.
Great channels. Good info. Am using abbot libre meter which connects to my iPhone. Convenient. Am looking for a non invasive watch due to prescription medical costs changes every year
Thanks for the compliment. Hopefully one day soon this will be a reality.
FAILED REVIEW! You CANNOT slap these devices on and expect them to give you an accurate read instantly. You MUST wear these devices for at least 24 hours before relying on the results.
Thanks for the advice Can you please explain the science behind this? The instruction book failed to mention your method.
@@typ3me I thought it was quite clear, you must wear the device continuously. I'd like to see you (or any other diabetic) do a week review whereas you wear the device continuously for a week while periodically comparing it to the finger prick method.
Omnipod 5 isn’t that reliable. I spend more time manually correcting bc the algorithm just doesn’t do it. I’ve spent hours on the phone talking to omnipod reps and my doctor doesn’t even know what they’re doing. I think everyone is getting whiplashed with all of these releases and in the end there’s too much confusion on how to actually run these devices. I was doing keto and my sugars were still high!
I'm sad too hear that. You gotta find what works for you and stick to it . Which can be so hard to accomplish when new gizmos and gadgets keep coming out.
I'm also android and use G7 and got new galaxy watch earlier this year so not really wanted to switch to Apple. Hopefully Dexcom is going to do this for non Apple users.
Love this ❤
I like your channel but frankly, the title should say "Dexcom G7 Direct to *Apple* Watch Setup" ... I kept wondering when you would show how to do this on an Android watch :-(
Thank you for the advice. I just changed it
Its a shame they playing wit people's blood sugar level. Deadly
Thank you for this. 👍
You're welcome Gibbo
Don't you supposed to wear the watch inside of you arm to get more accurate measurements?
Good question. Apparently it should be worn tightly on the upper wrist.
Hi, I am trying to have add the watch face to the new galaxy watch ultra 7. How may ai do that.
Did you follow the video yet?
Does OMNI work with Libre 3?
Unfortunately, it still works only with the Libre 2
This will never happen too many mony to be list by pharma. Probably it would take Apple two weeks to do this. Is a money game people!
My daughter is currently on T:Slim and Dexcom G6, after 4 years she is looking at the OmniPod5. My only worry is that the Omnipod 5 needs to be the same side as the Dexcom. How do you work this when the OmniPod needs changing every 3 days and Dexcom every 10? Its easier on an adult but she is 11. I guess you can cut down the Dexcom to every 9 days to match the 3 OmniPod changes? Maybe 3 on the front of the body, then 3 on the back?
As a 6ft person I've worn it on both arms and thighs without worrying about distance from cgm sensor.
I love your videos. I am a newly diagnosed diabetic. I have a samsung galaxy 6 classic watch. Watching your videos, I finally got my cgm on my phone. Thank you. However, I cannot download wearable widgets. It says not available for my phone. Can you suggest another widget so I can customize my watch face? Thanks
Thank you for the compliment You commented on the Blose video. Did this work for you?
Dang! The G6 is not an option on X-Large!!! Thx for the tutorial ! I’m definitely going to use it once I transition to G7.
Try a pendulum....
Hi just installed it using my VPN here in France to switch to PlayStore France. Now installed on my Watch & Phone, I hope. However, I use Abbott Libre2 not Dexcom so hope it will work?
Get rid of the music And make the video clear
What is the poster of little children behind you? Hmmm
Its a graffiti art picture in the style of Banksy
When I go to configure it wont let me sign in it's said go to phone what am I doing wrong and thank you
Make sure your using the appropriate log in info Verify you have the correct log in credentials on the actual Dexcom site.
When I open blose and go to configure it dont go to let me log in it goes where it said go to phone to log in thanks
It does not take me where you log in it takes me where you have to do it on the phone I don't know why it wont take me to where you log in thanks I did this once before and it work but for some reason it won't take me where I can log in sorry to bother you
Have you tried making sure both devices have the current firmware updates and Blose app software updates ? Also try hard resets on both devices.
Thanks ill check thanks for getting back with me
My husband has a Galaxy 6 Classic watch. Wearable widget is not available for this watch. Can you help with another option? Thank you
Yes the Blose app is a great option
What if blose isn't available on my device either.
@mattjefferson9111 Dobyou have the g6 or g7
My son has android phone. I wonder if you can also make video for that. Want to learn. Thank you
Thanks for the inquiry. Unfortunately this feature doesn’t work with Android yet. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Okay, thank you
I spent $400 on an Apple Watch 9 and I get nothing. No readings from my phone and nothing from direct to watch. My phone app tells me I'm connected but I never get a message to pair from my watch. My phone continuously says my watch is searching. This is very frustrating. The only reason I bought an Apple Watch was to get my bg without my phone.
That sucks have you tried restarting the 2 devices
Yes, and it still won't connect
@davidbishop466 Sorry I wish I knew how to help you. Perhaps try deleting and redownloading the app or checking for updates. Another option is waiting for the 10 day sensor session to end to see if the new sensor connects
@@typ3me thanks 😊
I’m have this problem also. I’ve deleted and reinstalled. Not sure what to do. Im also using series 6 Apple Watch.
Thanks for this video. This confirms what I was seeing with my direct to watch. I was getting multiple disconnects during the day. I also notice an increased battery drain. I to have a love hate relationship with this and also realize that this is still in its early stages.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one.
The signal loss happens too often. Not reliable. Was thinking of switching from tslim X2 to mobi and relying on the watch but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
The only draw back I do not like is you go to change it out every 3 days just makes no sense to me at all. I can understand every 14 days like a sensor but every three days just makes no sense to me at all...I do not understand that at all...So lets say 200 unites but you do not use all of it & say you got 50 units left what a waste...So they make sure you must change it out because the insulin goes in the back so SMART of them every 3 days just so they can make money of all those PODS you must change out every 3 days...smh!
I wondered the same thing I also how quickly the insulin goes bad once removed from the vial and in room temperature or hotter.
How to take off and put back on
I've never liked to run on purpose. I never have the need to go without my phone. I do run direct to watch and do find that the watch will switch to getting the info from the phone rather than the sensor. Mostly happens when the sensor and watch are on opposite side of my body. The G7 is smaller than the G6 which means the internals of the G7 have to be smaller as well i.e. smaller antenna and smaller battery.
Thanks for the feedback Dwight.
You are my go to for this kind of thing. Thanks
You’re welcome Douglas.
Thanks much for putting the time in to share this video! Although I'm an android/libre user, this is really helpful :) Not sure if the G7 suffers from the same problem that the Libre does, but I've found that if my glucose level fluctuates wildly (having a gigantic up/down delta), the sensor will simply give up for a period of time until it can get a good predictable trend again. Have you looked at your bg graph and seen if that could be a reason you had issues?
Good question. I’ve experienced the same with g7. Fortunately the test I did in this video only had a slight delta variation. I’m still convinced it failed by having to many apps open. I wish there was a way to know for sure. I’ll keep testing and I’ll keep you posted.
Got android with g7 and it never gave me a direct connect option. They only gave a health connection option and it does nothing for connecting info to watch.
Direct Connect is a brand new App only available on IOS, so far. Lots of third-party apps for Android (Samsung At least) but they still require the phone. CGM to phone, then phone to watch.
Thank you
You’re very welcome
keep getting wong credentials or region.. tried both option of checking and unchecking the "outiside of US" but not helping
Try logging into the Dexcom site to confirm you are using the right credentials first
I wonder what they consider soon? It's been a year and I have not heard a word about when they will come out with one. Have you heard any updates on this? Thank you for a great video.
Unfortunately no recent updates. I really do hope that this day will come sooner rather than later. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Help. Have watch 4. Just received watch from repair. The problem is when I get to the last graph , it does not show the glucose numbers. Please help
Try making sure that you have selected the appropriate region and re-log in to the Dexcom credentials, then restart both devices to see if this helps
How can I confirm that?
Upon set up make sure to scroll down on each screen to answer all the questions. Region is one of them
just installed the follow me app. So now it brought me to a page where it's asking me for a username and password. Do I use my Dexcom name and password?
I am using G7 and watch 4 with Samsung S24 +
Thank you The back ground music was much too loud.
No Android watches. Next.....
It’s a shame. I was an Android loyalist for so long. But they are always one step behind technological advancements.
Thanks!
You’re very welcome
Thank you so much! I just got my first Apple Watch-SE two and have had so much fun playing with it. If you recall, I am totally blind, but I do love all the technology that has come out lately! I've been trying to get Dexcom on my watch face and this video showed me how to do it! I wasn't able to do it using the watch app from my iPhone because Dexcom G7 doesn't show up as in the complications list, but I was able to do it on the phone itself using your instructions! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
I’m so excited for you. Congrats 🎉
Hi, will this method work if my daughter is running the Camaps system with dexcom g6?
Sorry I’ve never heard of Camaps. What is it?
Please stop talking, i cant hear you anyway, just do it hurrrry😂
