Keep reading to see what comes with your patients’ first Dexcom G6 experience, frequently asked questions, and more.
*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.
Can I only extend the Hello Dexcom experience option to certain patients?
The Hello Dexcom experience may be provided to your patients with diabetes who have compatible smart devices,† but it may be more applicable to some of your patients than to others. Here are a few patient considerations to keep in mind:
Struggles to meet glycemic goals
Needs insulin therapy optimization
Experiences hyper- and/or hypoglycemic events
Patient with type 1 or type 2 diabetes on mealtime insulin
Performs fingersticks less frequently than recommended
Has impaired awareness of hypoglycemia
New to CGM or hesitant to use CGM
Uses an insulin pump system
Not currently using Dexcom G6
