  • Verify that you can login to your Dexcom account. Using the Dexcom website login https://store.dexcom.com/user/login
    • If you can not login, your password or username is wrong.

I developed Glance to help people with diabetes! 25% of all donations will go directly to the Faustman lab. The remaining 50% will be dedicated to future research and development of Glance.
