21.2 Dexcom Share Overview
Dexcom Share is a feature within the G5 Mobile app. It allows for remote monitoring of
Dexcom G5 data from one person, the Sharer, to another person, the Follower.
Dexcom Share includes:
• Dexcom G5 sensor and transmitter
• Sharer’s smart device
• G5 Mobile app
• Internet connection
• Follower’s smart device
• Dexcom Follow app
You cannot use the Share feature if only using the Dexcom G5 receiver. You need a smart
device with the G5 Mobile app to take advantage of this feature.
Once the Sharer activates the Share feature in his/her G5 Mobile app, the smart device
transfers sensor glucose readings to the Dexcom Share Cloud using either Wi-Fi or a cellular
data plan. Then, the sensor glucose readings are sent from the Dexcom Share Cloud to the
Follower’s smart device using Wi-Fi or the Follower’s cellular data plan.
