1.1 Introduction Welcome to the G6 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) family! This User Guide supports you in getting to know your G6. We also have numerous other resources available to help you to get the most out of your G6.
Page 7: Your Dexcom Account
All chapters in the G6 User Guide are laid out the same way: The beginning of each chapter lists what you’ll be able to do after you’ve finished, followed by the chapter’s content. At the end, there’s a recap of what was covered and what’s in the next chapter.

Making Treatment Decisions Using G6 You can use your G6 reading and trend arrow to make treatment decisions — like treating for a low or dosing for a high. See Chapter 11 for more information on treatment decisions. With G6, there’s no need to confirm your reading with a fingerstick.

Page 22: What's Covered And What's Coming
You can choose which display device(s) to use: the Dexcom Receiver (receiver), the Dexcom G6 App (app) downloaded on your smart device, or both. They both show your readings, graphs, and trend arrows and alert you when there’s something you should be aware of.
Page 23: Chapter 5: Set Up Your Display Devices
You can use the receiver, the app, or both. Choose the device that’s best for you. The main difference between them is the app has Dexcom Share (Share). It lets you send your glucose information to others in real time so they can support you in your care. You can also schedule long-acting insulin dose reminders in the app.
Page 24 Is this your first Dexcom CGM app? If so, the app will walk you through setting it up. You’ll even set up your High and Low Alerts. If you’ve used the app before, the app will import your existing settings for your convenience.

Page 46: Chapter 7: Calibrate
Although these body fluids are very similar, G6 readings can be different from meter values. Calibration evens them up. By calibrating when the system notifies you, the G6 uses your meter value to make sure the G6 readings remain accurate throughout your session.
Page 47: Prepare To Calibrate
• Trend arrow(s) straight up or down: Don’t calibrate when your trend arrow(s) points straight up or down; this means your reading is changing more than 2 mg/dL per minute. Why? Because by the time you take a meter value and enter it into your G6, your BG will have changed.
Page 48 Don’t Don’t calibrate when your trend arrow is up, double-up, down, or double-down Why: Calibrating when your BG is changing quickly may make your G6 inaccurate. Consequences: You could have a severe low or high glucose event. 7.4 Let’s Calibrate Calibration Schedule Below is a sample calibration schedule.
Page 49 Wash and dry your hands with soap and water, not gel cleaners. App: Calibration Use meter to measure the BG from your fingertip. App: Calibration Tap Calibrate. The red circle shows when the G6 needs you to calibrate. What it means: • Sensor warmup is complete • Ready for first calibration App: Calibration Enter meter value using number pad.
Page 50 Tap Calibrate to enter your second BG reading. Follow steps 1-5 and enter second reading. What it means: • Sensor accepted first calibration • Ready for second meter reading App: Calibration Calibration accepted: Calibrate icon has no red circle. LBL014003 Rev 001 Dexcom G6 User Guide...
Page 51 App: Calibration Your G6 readings begin about 5 minutes after the device accepts your calibrations. Look for the number in the circle above the graph and dots on your trend graph. Each dot represents a single reading taken every 5 minutes.
Page 52 Press power button briefly to wake up receiver screen. You won’t see calibration notifications when screen is black. Tap OK. What it means: • Sensor warmup is done • Ready for first calibration LBL014003 Rev 001 Dexcom G6 User Guide...
Page 53 Verify BG value is correct. If correct, tap Yes. If you don’t tap Yes, the BG level isn’t saved. If incorrect, tap No and reenter. Receiver: Calibration Wait while BG value is accepted. LBL014003 Rev 001 Dexcom G6 User Guide...
Page 54 The calibrate icon doesn’t have a red circle, so your calibration was accepted and no more are needed for now. Receiver: Calibration Your G6 readings begin about 5 minutes after the device accepts your first two calibrations. Look for the dots on your home screen. Each dot represents a single reading taken every 5 minutes.
Page 55: Calibrate Only When Prompted (And Exceptions)
For example, if your meter reading is 180 mg/dL, your G6 reading should be between144 and 216 mg/dL. So if your G6 reading is 150, it’s within the 20/20 rule and you should not calibrate until notified. If your G6 reading is 220, it’s not within the 20/20 rule and you should...

First, a little background information: Jake is an adult. He manages his diabetes on his own, using his G6 and pens. Kelly, on the other hand, is a child. She and her parents work together to manage her diabetes using her G6 and a pump. Do either of these situations sound like yours? Let’s check in with Jake and Kelly to see what they do when their symptoms don’t match their CGM information.

You may have a number but not an arrow or vice versa. If that happens, use your meter. WARNING Do: Only make treatment decisions when your G6 shows both an arrow and a number. Why: No number, no arrow, no G6 treatment decisions. Consequences: You could have a severe low or high glucose event.
