The Dexcom G6 is a small wearable that’s easy to put on and lasts 10 days.
See your glucose right on your phone or receiver without fingersticks.*
*If your glucose alerts and readings from the G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
Dexcom is proven to lower A1C1,2
Instead of looking at one glucose number at a single moment in time, CGM tracks your glucose levels 24 hours a day. Here's how:
Users insert a tiny sensor wire just under the skin using an automatic applicator. An adhesive patch holds the CGM sensor in place so it can measure glucose readings in interstitial fluid throughout the day and night.
A small, reusable transmitter connects to the sensor wire and sends real-time readings wirelessly to a receiver so you can view the information. With some systems, a compatible smart device with the CGM system app can serve as the display device.†
The receiver or compatible smart device displays current glucose levels, as well as historical trends in levels. The Dexcom CGM receiver and/or compatible smart device†† can also be set to send you custom alerts when certain glucose thresholds are reached.†
Ordering your first Dexcom CGM is simple. Fill out the online form below and within two business days a Dexcom representative will contact you and go through a free benefits check, including a review of your out-of-pocket costs. Once you agree to the costs, we’ll arrange for shipment. Once your Dexcom arrives, setup is easy. Check out our First-Time Dexcom Setup information online.
* Fingersticks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.
