Signos

TLDR version—game changer, big investment in your health and it’s worth it. The good: generally the Dexcom G7 is accurate and reliable. It seems to have become more reliable with the most recent shipment a month ago. Previously I had three sensors go bad. Signos is pretty good about replacing them, especially if the problem is a failure to pair but when the issue is not pairing but bad readings and inconsistent monitoring, Signos can make it difficult to get a new monitor forcing you to go through multiple steps of troubleshooting and provide very detailed information that may cause you, it did me, to give up and just attach a new monitor Also good, the education program in their app, called activities, is actually very good. A lot of these types of programs tend to overstate the obvious or just waste time and don’t provide value (thinking of you Noom) but this one add a lot of value and is particularly helpful as you start to orient to your first few Dexcom monitors. I frequently review the activities for help with problematic periods of readings. Customer service and support, as qualified with the hassles associated with failed sensors described above, is very good and responsive when you have questions or issues. The Bad: remember that there are two components to any CGM program. The Dexcom or other manufacturers monitor and the partner company like Signos which is creating an app, programmatic content and algorithmic programs that interact with your glucose readings. I will keep those two components separate in these critiques. The Dexcom is generally very reliable with its readings. I frequently cross check it with a glucose monitor particularly during the early days of a new sensor and I have yet to find the values to be wildly off. That said, as you get closer to the expiration date of each sensor the accuracy goes down. Generally presenting readings that are materially lower than the readings with a glucose monitor. On several occasions this has led me to replace the sensor before the tenth day. When there are meaningful discrepancies the GCM will adjust if you enter the blood tested value. However the Dexcom is significantly influenced by atmospheric elements like heat and cold and pressure (while sleeping for example). So when you shower, take a bath, sleep on the arm with the monitor it will spike your glucose reading (heat) or cause it to crater (sleep). As a result you can spend meaningful amounts of time each day “outside” of the

I love Signos, except when it’s not working after updating. I hope this is taken care of soon!

I never knew how food ( even a small taste)affected my glucose levels. Thank goodness my daughter heard about Signos and like this app. I have finally learned how to manage my proteins, veggies and carbohydrates. I also learned how important exercising is to improve my metabolism and health. Lots more to learn . I don’t need medications to improve my general health ! If you’re not looking for a magic pill or quick fix. Give Signos a try, it may change your life. Losing weight naturally!

This is such an incredible investment in your health. Being able to see the impacts of different foods on your body in real time is SO powerful. I always thought I wasn’t eating that badly until using this, but the weight just piled on. In 8 weeks this has shown me what I can and can’t eat to lose weight. I’m down 17 lbs already, and I feel better. The best part is it feels so much more sustainable than any other diet or exercise program I’ve ever done. The app works great and customer service is good if you have a sensor issue.

What a great way to learn about how metabolism works. And learn how it works in your own body. And put that learning to work to improve the glucose situation in your own body. Test some things out using the CGM to see my body response. And loose some weight too. I am my own little happy guinea pig.

I have been very happy wearing the DexCom 7 continuous glucose monitor with SIGNOS teaching us how to eat and live. I have learned so much! SIGNOS has all kind of educational info available. And they make learning fun! I am obsessed with all the info SIGNOS gives us. The app is great!

The latest version is full of bugs. I search for a good click on it to add and it randomly pulls in one of my favorites versus the food I selected. PLEASE FIX!!!

I really appreciate Signos and the ability to see what foods spike my glucose and what foods keep me in a healthy range. It is amazing the technology now available to help us lead a longer healthy life! I have already changed my eating patterns to try to keep my glucose in range at all times. Thank you Signos!!

Having heard about Signos online and after having years of my annual bloodwork showing slowly rising levels of glucose i thought i would take the plunge. Although in not diabetic (or pre-diabetic), i wanted to take more active control of my health. What a blessing this app has been. The information is presented in an easy to follow dashboard/layout and gives you actionable things to improve your day to day glucose. The only thing I’ve noticed thus far is slight differences in the Dexcom G7 results between different patches. I bought an Abbott finger stick glucose monitor in order to calibrate each different patch to ensure better consistency. Other than that, it’s great!!!

By far the most friendly. It helps me reach my goals. And be on track with my diet. Love it.
