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

Update: Thank you for fixing the app! I can finally see the data in dark mode. ----------- Impossible to read the CGM data from the drop-down after the latest update. I can't seem to find a solution and there is no setting in the app. The only thing that works is changing from dark mode to the regular mode and I'm not willing to keep it that way. So annoying!

Like others, I can no longer read my numbers in dark mode. Please change this back or allow a setting for us to change the font color. I can no longer quickly glance at my number at all while busy. Not only that, but I seem to lose connectivity a LOT more with the new version. Am using my Omnipod controller to see my sugars instead. This update was a SIGNIFICANT step backwards!! Edit: after 6mo it's finally fixed 💯

Love the new look of the text and the background. So much easier to see my sugar. Glad the people listen to their feedback. Just still wish the small widget on the top left corner of my phone would show the arrow going up or down instead of staying as a motionless icon. That would look cool if it shown your trend without even looking
