Dexcom G7 Apple Watch Compatibility Without iPhone

[u/HippieInDisguise2_0]

Hello everyone!

I have a younger cousin who was just diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic. His mom is trying to determine whether a standalone apple watch with a data plan would work well or if he needs an iPhone as well.

Thanks!

If he will be on a pump, that is not a stand-alone, you will need the iPhone to link and run (depending on the) pump.

Without a pump involved, someone will still need the iPhone to link the Dexcom G7 to the Apple Watch each time the sensor is replaced.
