Richard, Interestingly enough, the Dexcom app downloaded to my 6 S and I could open it. Of course, I couldn't do anything with it because I did not have a sensor but what I read in the beginning set up was totally accessible. The Libre app would not even download and said that the phone was not able to be used with this app.

According to one of my clients, the Dexcom is accessible. Both types need at least an iPhone 7 because they use the NFC chip that was introduced starting with the 7. Their apps make it so a blind person doesn’t need their expensive stand-alone device to scan the patch. I think the Freestyle ones last longer but if the app doesn’t have an alarm, I can see why the doctor is leaning toward the Dexcom. Though, you may want to double check the specifications for each one to make sure that feature hasn’t been added.

Hi all, Yes, this is very much iPhone related. I have a question about two glucose readers. One is the Freestyle Libre and the other is the Dexcom. I know that the Libre app is accessible but I don't know anything about the Dexcom. My doctor wants me to get the Dexcom because it has alarms and the Libre does not. The downside of it is that you have to enter in codes every so often. To me, if it is accessible that doesn't really matter because there is always Aira or some way to work that out. I also noticed that the Libre link app does not work on the 6 S. Anyone know why? Or do you have a customer service number? Does anyone have any answers or where I can go to find out more? Thanks in advance. Kay Malmquist kay.malmqu...@gmail.com No matter where you are, no matter how difficult things might appear to be, you are always being moved toward magnificence. Always.
