App: Share Information With Your Support Team

12.1 Introduction

On your app, you can set up Share to send your CGM information to your support
team's display devices in real time — usually just a few minutes after you get the
information on your display device. Your loved ones will have more peace of mind, and
so will you! Share is not available on the receiver.
We also have something for you and your HCP. CLARITY reports show you your big-
picture trends. For example, the overlay report shows 7 days' trends and events
overlaid on the same graph. You'll notice things like you're always high on Wednesday
night or you go dangerously low at 2 am if you had a drink with dinner. That's the kind
of pattern you and your HCP can use to craft the best diabetes management plan for
you. We briefly describe that at the end of this chapter.
After this chapter, you'll be able to:
• Implement Share and Follow
o Identify Share components
o Identify Share status by icon color
o Set up Share
o Invite Followers
o Determine which CGM information to share
o Change Follower settings
o Tell Followers how to set up Follow
• Describe CLARITY reports

12.2 Share and Follow

Overview
Share lets you send your CGM information to up to five Followers. You control what it
shares, from just your current number and arrow to your whole trend graph. This lets
your Followers see your patterns and trends so they know you're OK. They can also
reach out and support you in managing your diabetes.
How does it work? Share sends your secured CGM information over the Internet to
your Followers.
Share is a backup to help your Followers support you. There are times when Share
information may be out of sync with your CGM information. For example, if your
Follower lost Internet access temporarily, there would be a gap in that Follower's
information. The bottom line: Depend on your CGM information to manage your
diabetes, not your Followers. When a Follower contacts you suggesting you treat,
always confirm your glucose information on your app or receiver before making a
treatment decision.
To use Share, you and your Followers must have smart devices connected to the
Internet. Followers also need the Dexcom Follow app installed. Share is not available
on the receiver.
