HOW DOES THE DEXCOM CGM WORK?
DEXCOM CGM RECEIVER
• Displays a glucose reading up to
every 5 minutes.
APPLICATOR WITH BUILT-IN SENSOR
• Applicator inserts the sensor under your skin.
• Sensor receives glucose information.
• Sensor lasts 10 days and oers the flexibility
of a 12-hour grace period, allowing you to
swap your sensor when convenient.
• Sensor sends glucose information to
the receiver.
Dexcom CGM readings and meter values may not be the same, and that’s okay.
The Dexcom CGM and a meter measure glucose from two dierent types of body fluids:
interstitial fluid and blood. Readings can be dierent and still be considered accurate.
