The sensor, transmitter, and receiver.
Different symbols show on the trend graph instead of a sensor
glucose reading to let you know that the receiver cannot
provide a reading.
Trends let you see the pattern of glucose levels. The trend
graph shows where glucose levels have been during the time
shown on the screen and where glucose levels are now.
Low blood glucose. Same as "low." The default low alert in the
receiver is set to 80 mg/dL. Consult a healthcare professional
to determine the appropriate hypoglycemic setting.
in the receiver is set to 200 mg/dL. Consult a healthcare
professional to determine the appropriate hyperglycemic
setting.
Optional receiver alert setting that keeps repeating the fixed
low alarm every 5 seconds until the sensor glucose value rises
above 55 mg/dL or you confirm it. This profile can be helpful if
you want extra awareness for severe lows.
Milligrams per deciliter. The standard unit of measure for
sensor glucose readings in the United States.
Something that blocks the path between the transmitter and
receiver. There are many types of things that could come
between the transmitter and receiver, and Dexcom could not
test them all. "Without obstruction" means that we have not
tested whether items blocking the transmitter or receiver could
affect the transmission range.
