Chapter 8: Events

8.1 Introduction

During your patient's sensor session, suggest that they keep track of
exercise, their carbs, and dosing. They can either do it in a journal or
use Events in G6 Pro. Keeping track of their actions or circumstances
helps them see how their actions affects their glucose patterns. In this
chapter, your patient can learn how to enter events.
After this chapter, you'll be able to:
• Define an event
• Describe each type of event
• Show your patient how to add event to the app

8.2 Events Overview

An event is an action or situation that affects your patient's glucose
levels. With the G6 Pro, they can track daily events so they can reflect
on their effect on their glucose trends. Once entered into the app,
events show in Dexcom reports generated by Dexcom CLARITY. The
reports help you review how each event influenced your patient's
glucose trends. You can use the reports with your patient and create
a plan to manage their diabetes. Your patient needs to give you
permission to view their Dexcom CLARITY report. See the Dexcom
CLARITY user guide for more information.
