Dexcom G5 Mobile System User Guide
178Daily Events Aect Your Glucose Trends and Patterns
An Event is an action or situation affecting your glucose levels. With the G5 Mobile, you have
the ability to enter your daily Events, helping you track their effect on your glucose trends.
Once entered into the smart device or receiver, Events can be viewed in Dexcom reports.
The reports help you review how each Event influenced your glucose trends. You can use the
reports with your HCP to create a game plan in managing your diabetes.
Even though they differ on how to enter an Event and time, the app and receiver have the
same Event categories and subcategories. Later in this chapter, you’ll learn how to enter
Events in each device.
Event Categories
There are four main Event categories:
1. Carbs
2. Insulin
3. Exercise
4. Health
