20.2 Dexcom Share Overview

Dexcom Share is a feature within the Dexcom G5 Mobile App. It allows for remote monitoring
from one person, the Sharer, of Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM data to another person, the Follower.
Dexcom Share includes:
• Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System
• Sharer's smart device
• Dexcom G5 Mobile App
• Internet connection
• Follower's smart device
• Dexcom Follow App
You cannot use the Share feature with Dexcom G5 Mobile Receiver.
Once the Sharer activates the Share feature in their Dexcom 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.
The Sharer must be within 20 feet of their smart device in order to send data to their
Follower or it will not work.
