Why Choose Unblinded?
Some of your patients are very interested in learning more about
their daily readings and trends. Or they may want to try Dexcom
before getting one, to see how the alarm/alerts work, or get a feel
for the system as a whole. As long as your patient has a compatible
smartphone, they can give the Dexcom app a try.
In unblinded mode, use the 2-part Unblinded CGM materials to train
your patient on the Dexcom system. After going over the handout with
your patient, give it to them so they can refer to it at home.
Blinded
In blinded mode your patient doesn't use the app or any type of
display device, so they won't see or know their glucose readings or get
any alarm or alerts.
Don't give the transmitter SN to your blinded patient. If you do, your
blinded patient may get unblinded data without you knowing.
Why Choose Blinded?
You may want your patient to be blinded, so they don't make changes
to their day to day life that would impact their glucose levels. This gives
you an opportunity to look at their patterns retrospectively. Some of
your patients may not have a compatible smartphone, so they can't
use the app. Other patients may not be as interested in following their
glucose patterns on a daily basis. Blinded allows them to use G6 Pro
and, after the sensor session is over, you can share their results using
the Dexcom CLARITY reports.
In blinded mode, since they don't use the app, they don't need to
know how the system works, they just need to know how to use it
safely and what to do after the sensor session is over.
After going over the handout with your patient, give it to them so they
can refer to it at home.
