It communicates with Bluetooth. As far as the scanning, I would think that
it would have to use the NFC chip for that. I am confused and wonder how I
can find a number to talk with a live human to answer some of these
questions.

So, does the Dexcom system not use the NFC chips in their patches?
How does it communicate with the app?

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.

Subject: Freestyle Libre or Dexcom?
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.
