Dexcom G6 and Fitbit Versa 2 work great so you can have your blood sugar measurements on your watch. Fitbit Versa 2 and Glance Clock Face, work great together.
In this video, I talk about why I chose Fitbit Versa 2 and how I set it up to make it communicate with Dexcom G6.
I go over all the settings inside the Dexcom G6 app together with the settings inside Glance Clock Face.
I also talk about what you need to do in case the Glance Face is not working.

Thanks for the step by step instructions to get my Versa to show my Dexcom g6 readings! I had seen lots of folk say that it could be done, but the didn’t say how to do it! Thanks! It worked the first time I attempted! Excellent how to do video!

Just added the Glance clockface to Fitbit Sense and it appears to be working as expected. Thanks for the tutorial video.

I'm finally getting a Dexcom (switching from the Libre) and I just happened to also be looking for a new smart watch. I don't use apple products so this will be perfect for me! Thank you for the thorough instructions, I can't wait to have my blood glucose levels on my wrist😁

Nice video, I bought Ambrosia Nightrider cgm to monitor glucose which works great with my Libre sensor, their alarm feature is very helpful during night, it gives alerts when readings are not in range.

@Type Sassy Diabetic Well I made the decision to go with the Fit Bit Versa2. I use the glance watch face, and the settings allow for the Dexcom log in link, no crazy configurations. I like it and I'm really happy. Ping me and I can show you some pics and "how to" but it's fairly simple. Good luck.

Thanks for the information! I'm looking into getting a Fitbit as I've just gotten Dexcom and would be great to have it for a quick glance instead of pulling my pump or phone out to see what it is.

@diabeteslifestyle2817 3 жыл бұрын

Its really great to have the numbers on your watch is very helpful. Fitbit and Glance work great but sometimes after a Fitbit software update or IOS update, it stops to work a few days until the developer updates Glance again. Is not very often though.

does Dexcom need a transmitter for it to work because whilst I was setting my dexcom app, it said to use a transmitter.

Hi - nice video - do you know of any way to have the Glance watchface always on?

@missredred8112 4 жыл бұрын

Does the phone and watch need an internet connection at all times to communicate? As soon as I drive away from home the glance face alarms and will not read. Hard to drive with full attention with watch vibrating. Is there a way to fix or does it need internet 24/7 to work. I was hoping to use it while rowing where there is no internet connection on the lakes.

Hello. This is so useful, thanks. I am about to buy a versa but I cannot decide between versa 2 or versa 3. Will the dexcom G6 work with the Versa 3?

@diabeteslifestyle2817 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, it works with both of them as long as you will use Glance face or any other clock face which is able to communicate with Dexcom G6.

Can i still connect the fitbit clock face if I don't use the Dexcom G6 app? I use the Dexcom G6 receiver device.

@diabeteslifestyle2817 3 жыл бұрын

You need the app, without the app is not possible I guess. If you have a smartphone you can install the app and forget about the receiver.

Hello 👋 Just saw this information by incident. My respect for your great discovery of this option. Our daughter uses Dexcom due to a rare metabolic disease. Questions Would you think that a versa 3 would also work as your experience with versa 2? Furthermore, since we are not Apple fans ... Would you think that either Android Samsung devices could be an option 🤔? Thanks so much for your support and highly appreciate the discovery of compatability of the Fitbit. Best regards and thanks from Germany Khalid

@diabeteslifestyle2817 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Khalid, Sorry for my late reply. It should work with Versa 3 also. I didn’t make any tests with Andoid but usually Android platform is more flexible than Apple. So my guess is that it will also work. Please do a bit of research before making any new investments.

hi, can we use this watch with the phone we have to use for dexcom g6? Should the phone be with us at all times, or does it receive data from the sensor on our arm?

@diabeteslifestyle2817 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, everything is going through the phone. Sensor talks to the phone and watch talks to the phone. So the mobile is the gateway, without it nothing is working.

Hi, I need a bit of help. If I am parent and I have set up on my phone to follow my kid dexcom and I now have a versa 2 as well and I want to see the blood levels on the watch as well. Do I have to follow the same steps as you or to I have to connect my app as a follower to the versa2. Thanks

@diabeteslifestyle2817 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Alina, if you follow all the steps I did it should work. I made the video using an iPhone but I am sure Android shouldn't be much different. The follower is important for Glance clock face to work with Fitbit App. Just add a follower, it doesn't matter if it's you or somebody else.

With the fitbit you cannot see the CGM data at all in workout mode. The watch is locked to the workout display. Most important time you want to see the data it's not there.

@kevinjohnson116 4 жыл бұрын

I might add if you just want to see the CGM and dont workout it's a good choice. The cgm display is nice and usually working.

It does as long as you are within the bluetooth range. This may vary, it depends how many walls you have in between. For me for instance I can have my phone upstairs in the house and get readings in the garden. As long as the room is on the side of my garden is fine, if I move it on the other side I lose connection.
