To find out how to acknowledge alerts from the Lock screen, go to the Alerts chapter.
Siri (Apple)
Use your iPhone and G7 app settings to set up a Siri shortcut. Then you can ask Siri to
tell you your sensor reading and trend arrow! When Siri answers, your trend graph will
also display on your screen.
To get started, follow these steps:
1. Make sure Siri is on in your phone settings
2. In your G7 app Profile tab, tap Siri Shortcuts to add, edit, or remove a shortcut
If your phone uses iOS 16 or later, when you install the G7 app, Siri Shortcuts will
be set up automatically.
Smartwatch (Apple)
Check your G7 on your Apple smartwatch.
Suggested use
Using a smartwatch with your G7 may change how you get alerts.
Your smartwatch communicates with your phone, not the sensor.
l
You won't get alerts or sensor readings on your watch unless it's connected to
l
your phone and your phone is connected to your sensor.
Make sure you understand how you get notifications when a watch is connected.
You must wear the watch to see alerts and feel their vibrations.
l
In your smart device settings, make sure notifications are sent to both your phone
l
and watch.
Don't disable or block notifications from the app.
l
Waking up your watch updates your G7 data from your phone. There may be a brief
delay before your Watch app shows current information.
Go to dexcom.com/compatibility to make sure your watch works with your G7.

Questions and answers
Dexcom G7 continues to show readings 50 or 60 points higher than when I stick my finger and use the supplied recorder. Why?
The Dexcom G7 may show readings 50 or 60 points higher than fingerstick measurements due to several reasons:
1. Sensor's First Day: Newly inserted sensors may show larger differences, which usually decrease over the first 24 hours.
2. Pressure on Sensor: If something is pressing on the sensor (e.g., lying on it), it can affect readings. Removing the pressure can help.
3. Rapid Glucose Changes: Blood glucose changes before interstitial fluid glucose, so fast changes can cause differences between meter and sensor readings.
4. Fingerstick Issues: Inaccurate fingerstick readings can occur if hands are not washed properly or test strips are expired or used incorrectly.
These factors can cause temporary differences between Dexcom G7 and fingerstick readings.
