Dexcom G6

The Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems are revolutionary tools for individuals managing diabetes. These systems are designed to provide real-time glucose readings every five minutes, offering invaluable insights for those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, including children aged 2 years and older.

One of the standout features of the Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro is the ability to monitor your glucose levels without the need for fingersticks, making diabetes management more convenient and less invasive. However, for safety, fingersticks are required if symptoms do not align with the readings provided by the system.

With the Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro, you can stay ahead of your glucose levels thanks to personalized trend alerts delivered directly to your smart device. These alerts notify you when your glucose levels are trending too low or too high, empowering you to take timely action. The Alert Schedule feature adds another layer of personalization, allowing you to customize a second set of alerts to fit your daily routine, such as setting different alert thresholds during work hours. You can also choose custom alert sounds, including a Vibrate-Only option for your phone. The only alert that cannot be turned off is the Urgent Low Alarm, ensuring you're always aware of critical glucose levels.

The Always Sound setting, enabled by default, ensures you receive essential Dexcom CGM Alerts even if your phone is set to silent, vibrate, or Do Not Disturb mode. This feature allows you to mute calls and texts while still receiving audible alerts for critical glucose levels, including the Urgent Low Alarm, Low and High Glucose alerts, Urgent Low Soon Alert, and Rise and Fall Rate alerts. A convenient Home screen icon indicates whether your alerts will sound or not. For added safety, the Urgent Low Alarm and three other alerts—Transmitter Failed, Sensor Failed, and App Stopped—cannot be silenced.

Additional features enhance the user experience. The Share function allows you to share your glucose data with up to ten followers in real time using the Dexcom Follow app, requiring an internet connection. Health Connect access enables sharing retrospective glucose data with third-party apps, while Quick Glance lets you view your glucose data directly on your smart device's lock screen. For those who wear smartwatches, Wear OS Integration brings glucose alerts and alarms right to your wrist.

Please note that some features, including the Alert Schedule, Always Sound, Share, and Follow functions, are not available on the Dexcom G6 Pro System.

In conclusion, the Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro Systems are comprehensive solutions for diabetes management, providing real-time glucose monitoring and personalized alerts to help you stay in control of your health.
