Dexcom G6 CGM System
The Dexcom G6 is a real-time continuous glucose monitor (RT-CGM) with an overall mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of 9%. The G6 allows users to receive data and alerts on their smart device or dedicated receiver. RT-CGM data can be viewed on a smart device and receiver alone or in combination, as well as part of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, like the Tandem Control IQ, Tandem Mobi, Omnipod 5, and iLet. In addition, the Apple Watch and various Android-based smartwatches can be used as secondary display devices. For compatible devices, go to www.dexcom.com/compatibility. The built-in hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) safety alarm is always on and alerts users when glucose hits 55 mg/dL. Customizable alerts with several tones tell users when glucose falls below or rises above user-selected limits (high and low alerts), when their glucose is rising or falling rapidly (rise and fall alerts), when it continues to be above or below user-selected limits for an extended period of time (repeat alert), and if CGM readings are not being received or displayed on smart device or receiver. A predictive severe hypoglycemia alert (urgent low soon alert) is available to warn users 20 minutes in advance of a potential 55 mg/dL or lower glucose level. No finger-stick confirmation is required when making treatment decisions, and with the Dexcom G6, no calibrations are required. Water resistant up to 2.4 meters for 24 hours.
