Ok Dexcom fans… I downloaded the new WatchOS 4 to my Apple Watch this morning. Does this mean that I can now connect my Dexcom G5 directly to my watch? If not, what else needs to happen.

I’m so ready to not carry my phone with me everywhere to get my Dexcom readings on my Apple Watch.

I don’t think so, I believe that Dexcom will need to update their app. When I spoke to them on the phone, they didn’t have a timeline they were willing to share. We discussed this in more depth here:

> For us the gist is Dexcom Transmitter direct to Apple Watch. Nothing needed in the middle. Benefit? During exercise cgm data on wrist without needing iPhone. I am planning to give it a whirl this afternoon. If the Dexcom App needs an upgrade to take advantage of this then it won’t work (yet). I tried getting an early answer out of Dexcom Support but I don’t think they like talking about anything not yet released. lol.

Yes something needs to be flipped. I’ve tried every which way to connect my transmitter directly to my AW with no luck.
