Can anyone here verify that Dexcom has updated their iPhone app to cease collecting customer metadata?
As recently as three months ago, Dexcom's G7 app made hundreds of daily connections both to dexcom's own servers and third party metrics servers. Note that this was the case regardless of whether you opted out of their online services (like sharing).
I checked my firewall logs before I posted this comment, and suddenly I no longer see these queries. Since I have two years history of monitoring and blocking similar Dexcom traffic, it's hard for me to believe they actually stopped.
I would welcome stronger laws to stop this sort of behavior. I'm essentially a captive audience to a maker of expensive medical gear, and it's a lousy feeling to have them slurping up data about me every time I check my blood sugar.
