l
Knowing your trends

No fingersticks
You can use your sensor reading and trend arrow to make treatment decisions. Go to
the Treatment Decisions chapter for more information. No calibration (with your BG
meter) is needed. This reduces the pain and burden of excessive fingerstick and
potential errors due to inaccurate calibration.
Knowing your trends
The Dexcom G7 CGM System not only sends you a sensor reading every 5 minutes but
also provides overviews of your glucose trends and patterns, and reaction to different
activities. This lets you see the overall picture and how your daily habits impact your
glucose levels. In addition, you can see which changes could make your glucose
management even better.
Helping your diabetes management
Alerts notify you when your glucose goes outside your target range, goes too low or
too high, is rapidly falling or rising, or will be low soon. This lets you take action to
prevent glucose from going too low or too high (go to the Alerts chapter).
Sharing with supporters
Some people perceive an increase in their quality of life and peace of mind when
using real-time CGM. Share may improve these for patients, their caregivers, and their
support team because Followers can be notified by sharing sensor readings and alerts
remotely.
