Overview Of Home Screen - Dexcom G5 MOBILE User Manual

Warning
Don't: Never ignore symptoms of high and low glucose.
Do: Measure your BG with fingerstick measurement if sensor glucose readings don't
match your symptoms.
Why: Your sensor glucose readings may not be accurately reading your glucose.
Consequences: Ignoring your symptoms before treatment decisions could result
in you having severe low or high blood glucose or making a treatment decision that
results in injury.
Precaution
Using an accessory device (like a smart watch) might override your smart device
sounds. Alarm/Alerts might vibrate or be heard on the accessory instead of your smart
device.
After connecting any accessories, make sure that the smart device settings allow you
to continue receiving Alarm or Alerts on the smart device.

9.3 Overview of Home Screen

Regardless of your display device, the home screen shows your current sensor glucose
value, glucose trend, rate of change arrow, and CGM system status. While the screen does
look different between the receiver, smart device, Apple Today view, and Apple Watch, the
information is the same.
No matter how you hold the receiver, its view does not change. The G5 app, on the other
hand, has two ways to view data based on how you hold your smart device:
1. Vertically in portrait: mode 3-hour trend information with task bar.
2. Horizontally in landscape mode: 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, or 24-hour trend information without
task bar.
This section first familiarizes you with the app's home screen, then the Today view and Apple
Watch, and last the receiver's home screen. In other chapters, you'll see how to use the icons
to enter data or make system changes.
