before driving a car or making any treatment decisions, such as taking insulin or eating
fast-acting carbohydrates.
Sharers should not rely on Followers to notify them about low or high glucose.
Any problems with smart device(s), Bluetooth , wireless Internet connection, mobile data
connection, Dexcom Share Cloud or not being in the communication range could cause data
to not be shared with the Follower. In addition, if the Delay setting is too long, the Follower
might not be aware of glucose level changes in a reasonable time. Therefore, the Dexcom
Share feature should be used only to give a secondary level of awareness and should not be
expected to always communicate and transfer sensor glucose readings and information.
Benefits
Patients usually respond when their continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems
alert them.
However, experts advise that an additional CGM alert to another person may be helpful
in increasing the detection of low glucose or high glucose values, especially at night. The
Dexcom Share feature enables this additional awareness, even when the Sharer and Follower
are not in the same place.
The Dexcom Share feature may provide improved quality of life and greater peace of
mind to patients, their caregivers and their support team by allowing the Dexcom G5
Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Alerts, Alarms and trend graphs to be
checked remotely.

20.4 Safety Statement

Intended Use
