Entering Events - Dexcom G5 User Manual

For your convenience (and safety!), no need to stop everything and enter your
Events as they are happening. When you have a moment, you can enter your
Events retroactively in your app or receiver.
Events are meant to be entered as individual occurrences: don't enter daily
totals, enter each Event separately.
In the next section, you will learn how to enter Events, first in your smart
device, then in your receiver.

In the G5 Mobile app, Events are just a tap away! The Event icon, a running
man, is on the app's home screen's task bar in portrait mode (remember, you
don't have the task bar in landscape).
Entering Events for the Carbs, Insulin, Exercise, and Health categories follows
the same steps. If you can enter a Carbs Event, you can enter an Insulin
Event. To enter Events, we'll use the above scenario. The following table
shows how to enter Carbs (drive-thru lunch) and Stress (traffic jam) Events.
