Meet the Dexcom G6

Simple to use

The Dexcom G6 is a small wearable that’s easy to put on and lasts 10 days.

Goodbye, fingersticks

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.}

Take control

Dexcom is proven to lower A1C^1,2

1. A tiny sensor wire is inserted under your skin using an automatic applicator

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.

2. Your transmitter sends data

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.^†

3. You receive updates & alerts

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.^†

“If you have diabetes, you should wear a Dexcom.”
