I wrote the article- I’m very aware of Dexcom and it doesn’t have all this out the box

Have you looked into third party apps? I’m very personally used the app diabox (on android), I’ve heard suggah (if I spelt it correct) also supports a nightscout link like diabox. However I’m not sure how these work with dexcoms.

You probably know all this as well, but for future googlers:

I used to use Libre + MiaoMiao + Nightscout, but these days I much prefer Dexcom G6 + xDrip + Nightscout.

Pros for the G6:

- No 3rd party transmitter (e.g. the MiaoMiao)

- It's smaller and can go on the stomach so it's less likely to get ripped off

- 1 less app involved -- xDrip integrates directly to Nightscout and there is no need for the Dexcom app

- Supposedly the glucose readings are a bit more accurate than the Libre

Cons:

- Sensors are more expensive than the Libre

- The transmitter is not rechargeable so you need to keep buying them every 90 days
