Dexcom Follow app for friends & family
The Dexcom CGM System comes with a built-in Dexcom Share feature so you can let up to 10 people follow your glucose levels, giving you a circle of support. By downloading the Dexcom Follow app, Followers can view your glucose data directly from their smart device, whether they live down the street or in another country.*
A new and improved Dexcom Follow is available for download!
With a fresh new look, enhanced cybersecurity, and the ability to view glucose numbers across countries, the Dexcom Follow app* makes it easier than ever for loved ones to stay informed and connected.
Sharing glucose data with followers is associated with:
MORE TIME-IN-RANGE1
Data shows that a greater number of Followers correlates with more time spent in range and less time <70 mg/dL.*
PATIENT-REPORTED A1C IMPROVEMENTS2
People with Followers report that data sharing has played a role in lowering their A1C.*
FEWER EPISODES OF HYPOGLYCEMIA2
People with Followers reported experiencing fewer episodes of hypoglycemia and feeling more confident in their ability to avoid and manage low glucose events.*
IMPROVED AMOUNT OF QUALITY SLEEP2
A study of adults with diabetes showed that data sharing results in more quality sleep for the person with diabetes.
GREATER WELL-BEING2
Dexcom users report data sharing gives them greater peace of mind and helps them feel less alone with their diabetes.
REDUCED DIABETES DISTRESS2
1 out of 3 surveyed adults with T1D who shared their Dexcom glucose data with a Follower reported a reduction in diabetes distress.*
Customizable data sharing and notifications so you are always in control
We’ve designed the Share/Follow feature so that Dexcom CGM users can pick and choose what they want to share and with which Followers.*
Followers* can modify notifications and check on their Sharer’s status at anytime as long as they have been allowed access.
