About this app

Only use this app if you have the Dexcom G6 or G6 Pro CGM Systems.

Always know your glucose number and where it’s heading with the Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems –indicated for diabetes treatment decisions with zero fingersticks and no calibration.* A core feature of the Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro Systems is providing users with alarm/alerts based on their glucose level.

*Fingersticks required for diabetes management decisions if symptoms do not match readings.

Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro provide real-time glucose readings for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes every five minutes. Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro are indicated for children age 2 years and older.

The Dexcom G6 and G6 Pro Systems provide personalized trend alerts right on your smart device and lets you see when your glucose levels are going too low, or too high, so you can better manage your diabetes. The Alert Schedule** feature lets you schedule and customize a second set of alerts. For example, you can set the schedule to match your work hours and have different alert settings during the rest of the day. Custom alert sounds are available, including a Vibrate-Only option on the phone for glucose alerts. The only exception is the Urgent Low Alarm, which you can’t turn off.

The Always Sound** setting, which is on by default, allows you to receive certain Dexcom CGM Alerts even if your phone sound is off, set to vibrate, or in Do Not Disturb mode. This will allow you to silence calls or texts but still receive audible CGM Alarm and Alerts, including the Urgent Low Alarm, Low and High Glucose alerts, Urgent Low Soon Alert**, and Rise and Fall Rate alerts**. A Home screen icon shows you if your Alerts will sound or not. For safety, the Urgent Low Alarm and three alerts cannot be silenced: Transmitter Failed, Sensor Failed, and App Stopped.

Other features:

Quick Glance allows you to view your glucose data on the lock screen of your smart device

Ratings and reviews

Wqs a great piece of equipment when I got it 8 years ago. been going downhill fast in the past couple years. The app won't stay connected for more than 2 hours at a time now and have to turn Bluetooth off and back on again to get the app to start giving readings again. Disappointed with lack of concern with a literal lifesaving piece of techs reliability

I have a OnePlus 13 running Android 16(stock) and the app doesn't work. It says that it's untested on my device and incompatible. I just read the developers response and the website mentioned isn't valid. 7/10/26 2nd update - spoke with customer support and while it doesn't seem like they have any interest in making their apps compatible with newer Android devices, they are going to send me a receiver to use the sensors I have.

Update: Still haven't fixed this problem. This is a bad look for you Dexcom, not caring for your customers after you have been notified of the issue. I'm truly disappointed. The numbers from the last 24 hours isn't showing up when I use the bar to scroll across my data. I've seen others with the same problem. you need to get this fixed ASAP. Also, you never applied Daylight Savings Time to the graph.
