Home Screen Overview - Dexcom G5 User Manual

WARNING
Don't: Never ignore symptoms of high and low glucose.
Do: Measure your BG with a 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
Do: After connecting any accessories, make sure that the smart device settings allow you
to continue receiving Alarm or Alerts on the smart device.
Why: Using an accessory device (like a smart watch) might override your smart
device sounds.
Consequences: Alarm or Alerts might vibrate or be heard on the accessory instead of
your smart device, causing you to miss severe low or high glucose Alarm or Alerts.

9.3 Home Screen Overview

The home screen shows your current sensor glucose value, glucose trend, rate of change
arrow, and CGM system status. While the screen differs between the receiver and smart
device, the information and color-coding are the same.
This section first familiarizes you with the app's home screen, then the Today view, then the
receiver's home screen, and last with the Apple Watch home screen. In other chapters, you'll
see how to use the icons to enter data or make system changes.
