The Dexcom G6 CGM System stands out as the first real-time, integrated CGM (iCGM) requiring zero fingersticks or calibrations. Read more...

You have the flexibility to use only the Dexcom G6 app, only the Dexcom receiver, or both at the same time, depending on your diabetes management preferences.
