Connect to Sensor: Dexcom G6
Connecting the Dexcom G6 Sensor to the Pod is an important step. The Sensor sends glucose values to Pod. When in Automated Mode, the Pod uses those sensor glucose values to automatically adjust the amount of insulin you get every 5 minutes.
The Pod also sends glucose values to the Omnipod 5 App so you can view the values there, as well as use them within the SmartBolus calculator.
