Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System is used to track blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. It consists of a small sensor that is inserted just under the skin and a transmitter that sends real-time glucose data to a compatible receiver or smartphone app. The sensor measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid (the fluid that surrounds cells in the body) every five minutes and sends the data to the transmitter. The transmitter then wirelessly sends the data to a compatible receiver or smartphone app, allowing the user to track their glucose levels in real time.

Features of Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor

  • A Dexcom CGM system gives you a full picture of your glucose numbers & trends
    • Your glucose reading is sent to your smart device or receiver as frequently as every five minutes. Dexcom CGM systems then translate your readings into dynamic data so you're better able to manage your diabetes treatment.
  • Proactively manage your diabetes with CGM
    • This means you'll be able to see trends and gain insight into the impact that meals, exercise, and illness can have on your glucose levels. In other words, Dexcom G6 CGM helps to reduce the guesswork that comes with making diabetes treatment decisions.
  • A1C Reduction: Proven to be the best outpatient glycemic management system for reducing A1C. Type 1 patients experience an average A1C reduction of 1.3%.
  • Reduced Hypoglycemia: Not only can Dexcom CGM use reduce A1C, but it can also decrease your time spent in hypoglycemia.
  • Night Monitoring: The Dexcom CGM system is equipped with alerts that can warn you of approaching low levels.
