Connection to Sensor: Dexcom G6
During the Omnipod 5 setup, a screen will appear to connect a glucose Sensor to your Omnipod 5 System. Select Dexcom G6, then tap CONFIRM.
If you're not ready to connect your sensor, tap No Sensor. If you tap No Sensor, you will be asked to confirm that without a Sensor, you will not be able to use Omnipod 5 in Automated Mode.
After your selection has been confirmed, you will be asked to add your Sensor now, or you can tap Not Now.
To connect or change a sensor later, from the Home screen, tap on the menu button, then tap Manage Sensor. Tap ENTER NEW to add your Dexcom G6 Sensor.
