I am fairly new to the Dexcom CGM–2 weeks in all, and am now waiting for the arrival of my new iWatch. I have been using the supplied receiver just to get used to the system, but today, added my iPhone 6, just so I could get used to using that as well. Now I have a few questions:
I have liked the supplied receiver because I can easily change the alerts from audible alerts to vibrate for night use. I really hate being woken up with an audible alert, and the vibration under my pillow is enough to wake me. If I am using my iPhone and iWatch, how should I set up my alarms so they do the same thing? Should I just set the phone and watch both to “Silent” mode at night? I know that Silent mode does not silence “Alarms”–but are the Dexcom alarms considered regular “alarms”? I assume the phone and watch should not be put into “Do Not Disturb” mode–otherwise, I will not get vibrations either. I may be charging my phone and my watch overnight on a paired charger, or, if I have charged the watch enough earlier, I may just wear it all night—don’t know yet… And I do assume that if I am wearing it, and I lift my arm to turn over, it will wake up the watch…
Sorry for the long post, but when I spoke to Apple, they hadn’t even heard of the Dexcom app,
so I thought it was better to ask here. Thanks for any help, or anyone else’s experience with this.
