Dexcom G6
®
System • Using Your G6
Warnings
• Read User Materials
Before you use your G6, carefully read the materials included with it. If you do
not, you might:
• Not use the G6 correctly
• Not understand G6 information
• Affect how well it works
• Do Not Ignore Low/High Symptoms
Do not ignore how you feel. If your glucose alerts and G6 readings do not match
what you are feeling, use your blood glucose meter (meter) to make diabetes
treatment decisions or, if needed, seek immediate medical attention.
When in doubt, get your meter out.
• No Number, No Arrow, No CGM Treatment Decision
If your G6 does not show a number or arrow, or your G6 readings do not match
your symptoms, use your meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
No number, no arrow, no treatment decision. When in doubt, get your meter out.
• Do Not Use If…
Do not use the G6 if you are pregnant, on dialysis, or critically ill. It is not known
how different conditions or medications common to these populations may affect
performance of the system. G6 readings may be inaccurate in these populations.
Follow G6 instructions. If you do not, you could have a severe low or high glucose
event.
Precaution
• Avoid Sunscreen and Insect Repellent
Some skin care products, such as sunscreens and insect repellents, can make
the plastic used in your G6 crack. Before using your G6, make sure there are no
cracks in your receiver, transmitter, and transmitter holder. If you find a crack,
please contact your local Dexcom representative. Do not allow these skin care
products to contact your G6. After using skin care products, wash your hands
before touching your G6. If any skin care products get on your G6, immediately
wipe with a clean cloth.
