Entering Events - Dexcom G5 mobile User Manual

For your convenience (and safety!), no need to stop everything and enter your Events as they
are happening. When you have a moment, you can enter your Events retroactively in your app
or receiver.
Events are meant to be entered as individual occurrences: don't enter daily totals, enter each
Event separately.
In the next section, you will learn how to enter Events, first in your smart device, then into
the receiver.

You probably will enter Events in your in the display device you use most often; however, you

In the Dexcom G5 Mobile App, Events are just a tap away! The Event icon, a running man, is
on the app's home screen's task bar in portrait mode (remember, you don't have the task bar
in landscape).
Entering Events for Carbs, Insulin, Exercise, and Health's categories follow the same steps.
If you can enter a Carb Event, you can enter an Insulin Event. To enter Events, we'll use the
above scenario. The following table shows how to enter Carb (drive-thru lunch) and Stress
(traffic jam) Events.
