Skip Manually Sensor Start when sensor is in working status

Open birdfly opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I started my Dexcom One sensor several days ago by Dexcom One App, today I connected it with xdripiO5, it captured correct info from the transmitter which includes sensor start time, but there is no sensor readings in the chart .Need I to manually start the sensor again?

normally you should not start the sensor again. @LiroyvH can you maybe help here? It's been a while that i tested with Dexcom transmitters.

You'll need to start a sensor session in xDrip4iOS, but if one is already open in the transmitter then it will start using it.

If you've started the session and still don't get values, when this usually happens it is often because the user is still using the official Dexcom app and doesn't have "Follow Dexcom-app" enabled...

...or they do not have the official Dexcom app installed and they have enabled the "Follow Dexcom-app" option.

@birdfly - can you check if any of the above is true for you?

To make it clear ,I use Dexcom One App, not Dexcom G6.
