my iPhone seems to have no problem keeping a decent connection with the Dexcom G6. The PDM alarmed in the middle of the night last night to inform me it wasn’t receiving BG readings, yet my phone, which was right beside the PDM, showed a current reading. This seems to happen fairly often when I go to bolus and have to wait for my BG reading to update. Hopefully, when iOS compatibility is released, the phone will continue to have a reliable connection to the BG monitor.

Hey Jim,
Since the Omnipod 5 and the Dexcom G6 communicate directly in automatic mode, I find no need to have both the PDM and my iPhone by my bedside. I’ll keep one, depending on which one has the higher charge, but it’s also possible to have both off. I have not experienced the need for strict line of sight between the G6 sensor and the pod. I use the backs of my arms for both, sometimes on the same side, sometimes on opposite sides.

Maybe try rebooting the PDM? The last time that happened to me I rebooted the PDM and successfully re-established a connection.
Yes, that seems to be the solution when this happens. Thanks.
