Getting Started Video

Dexcom G6 CGM System components

Using the auto-applicator, patients or caregivers can insert the sensor and then snap in the transmitter. Once the system completes warm-up they will be able to view real-time glucose data from the transmitter via a patient's selected display device.*

applicator

Auto-Applicator

Provides simple sensor insertion at the push of a button. A patient can apply the sensor on their own by following the instructions for use.

sensor

Sensor

Monitors interstitial glucose levels through a small wire inserted just underneath the skin, sending a signal to the transmitter (10-day lifespan).

transmitter

Transmitter

Fastened on top of the sensor; sends data wirelessly to the wearer's compatible display device* (3-month lifespan).

display device

Display Device

Allows patients to view their real-time glucose data and trends. Dexcom G6 also enables patients to receive a suite of alerts, an Urgent Low alarm, and other notifications on their display device*, which can help warn them of high or low glucose levels.

why prescribe the Dexcom G6?

Dexcom G6 removes the burden of having to fingerstick or scan for your patients to receive real-time glucose readings.

^‡If your glucose alerts and readings from Dexcom G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.

Dexcom G6 CGM Trend Graph

Representative in-clinic session data shows how calibrations can result in improved, worsening, or no effects on the accuracy of the Dexcom G6 CGM System. It supports the notion that overall, the absence of calibrations does not impact the ability of Dexcom G6 to provide accurate glucose readings.⁵

Calibration

Patients show sustained glycemic benefit with long-term real-time CGM (rtCGM) use.^#,6 Dexcom rtCGM use is clinically proven to lower A1C, reduce hyper- and hypoglycemia, and increase time in range.^2,3

COMISAIR chart

SEE NIH.GOV CLINICAL EVIDENCE

The Dexcom G6 sensor prevents clinically significant interference from acetaminophen, and readings can be used to make diabetes treatment decisions when taking up to a maximum acetaminophen dose of 1,000 mg every 6 hours.*

*Taking a higher does than 1,000 mg every 6 hours may affect Dexcom G6 readings.
