A closer look at the Dexcom G6 Components
Dexcom G6 measures glucose levels up to every five minutes using a sensor inserted just underneath the skin, and wirelessly transmits glucose readings to a receiver or compatible smart device.†
The Dexcom G6 App
With just a quick glance at their compatible Apple or Android smart device,† patients can see where their glucose levels are heading and how fast, so they can take action.*
The Follow App
✓ Patients can stay connected to their circle of support with the Share feature for added peace of mind.§
✓ Patients enable the Share feature from their Dexcom G6 app, inviting up to 10 people to follow the glucose data and customise their notification preferences.
✓ Followers simply download the Dexcom Follow app and accept the invitation from the patient to begin viewing their loved one’s readings and receive notifications.
