Why do I have to use the Dexcom G7 Mobile App, instead of the receiver?
The Omnipod® 5 System requires the Dexcom G7 mobile app, not the Dexcom G7 receiver, to set-up the Dexcom G7 CGM System. The Dexcom G7 can only connect with one medical device, either the Dexcom G7 receiver or the Pod, at a time. Omnipod 5 provides automated insulin delivery with the Pod and Dexcom G7 continuously connected. This means that, to remain in automated mode, the Pod must be the medical device that Dexcom connects with and the Dexcom receiver cannot be used. The Dexcom G7 app also offers many great features including Follow, Clarity and Smart Watch functionality.
