How to add Dexcom G7 and G6 readings to iPhone widgets and StandBy

Step 1: Connect Dexcom to Sweet Dreams

Already have a follower in Dexcom Follow? Skip to the last step.

1. Open the Dexcom app and tap the Share icon to turn on Dexcom Share.
2. Invite at least one follower. Your own email address works. Dexcom doesn't send readings to its servers unless someone follows you, so this step is required even if you only want to see your own data.
3. In the follower settings, make sure the follower can see your trend graph.
4. Accept the invitation in the Dexcom Follow app. Download it first if you don't have it.
5. In Sweet Dreams, choose Dexcom and sign in with the wearer's Dexcom account, not the Dexcom Follow account.

Step 2: Set up Widgets & StandBy

1. Home Screen: touch and hold an empty area, tap Edit → Add Widget, search for Sweet Dreams and pick a size.
2. Lock Screen: touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customise → Lock Screen, then add a Sweet Dreams widget.
3. StandBy: put your iPhone on a charger on its side, touch and hold the right-hand widget, tap +, search for Sweet Dreams and tap Add Widget. There are two designs.
4. In StandBy you can also tap the reading at the top to see your Live Activity full screen, which refreshes more often than widgets.
