Options to View Your Trends
The Dexcom G5 transmitter works with a number of display devices, giving you flexibility to
use what's best for you, your situation, or your lifestyle:
• Dexcom G5 receiver (receiver)
• G5 Mobile app (app) on your smart device
While the system works with different smart devices, they're not interchangeable during a
