Precautions On Dexcom Share - Dexcom G5 User Manual

Warnings
Treatment decisions should not be made based on the secondary display device (Dexcom
Share). The user should follow instructions on the continuous glucose monitoring system
(Dexcom G5 Mobile).
The secondary display is not intended to replace self-monitoring practices advised by a
physician.
Dexcom Share does not work alone. Dexcom Share does not replace the Dexcom G5 Mobile
and requires Share to be turned "On" to communicate glucose information to the Follower.
You cannot use secondary displays to make treatment decisions, such as how much insulin
to take. Secondary displays do not replace the Dexcom G5 Mobile or a BG meter. Always use
the values from the Dexcom G5 Mobile or a BG meter for treatment decisions.
Precautions
Do not use Dexcom Share as the main source of CGM glucose trend information. Use the
Dexcom receiver as the main device to track sensor glucose information, notifications,
and Alarm.
At times, the patient will be unable to share data using Dexcom Share , and the Follower
might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high BG values. Do not rely solely on the
Follower to alert the patient of low or high glucose events or other important information. At
times, the Follower may not receive data, and the patient will not be notified of this fact.
When using Dexcom Share , make sure Share is turned "On." If not, the patient will be unable
to share data, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high BG
values. If the patient's smart device does not have a connection or loses the connection, the
patient will be unable to share data, and the Follower might miss helping the patient in the
event of low or high BG values.
Do not use Dexcom Share unless both the patient's and Follower's smart devices have active
Internet connections in order to share data. If either the patient or the Follower does not have
a connection, loses their connection, or turns off the connection ("Airplane Mode"), or if the
smart device is in Do Not Disturb mode, the patient will be unable to share data, and the
Follower might miss helping the patient in the event of low or high BG values. To check this,
make sure that the Follower's smart device can receive text messages. Follow notifications
and text messages work by a similar process.
Make sure the patient's and Follower's smart devices have charged batteries or are
connected to electrical outlets. If the smart device shuts down due to low battery, the patient
