21.2 Dexcom Share Overview

Dexcom Share is a feature within the Dexcom G5 Mobile app. It allows for remote monitoring
of Dexcom G5 Mobile data from one person, the Sharer, to another person, the Follower.
Dexcom Share includes:
• Dexcom G5 Mobile System
• Sharer's smart device
• Dexcom G5 Mobile app
You cannot use the Share feature with the receiver.
Once the Sharer activates the Dexcom G5 Mobile app Share feature, 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.
