What are the main differences in the Dexcom G6 app features between the Dexcom G6 CGM System and Dexcom G6 Pro CGM System?
The Dexcom G6 app will automatically configure which features are available for a user, depending on whether the transmitter is part of the Dexcom G6 CGM System or Dexcom Receiver G6 Pro CGM System. As many patients on Dexcom G6 Pro are new to CGM, the app will configure to offer basic features, such as glucose data, event entry, high and low alerts, and the Urgent Low alarm. Advanced features, such as Share/Follow, fast rise/fall rate alerts, and alert schedules are not supported in Dexcom G6 Pro.
