Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System Quick Start Guide
Your transmitter sends sensor
glucose information directly to
your app and/or your receiver,
at the same time, using
Bluetooth.
Your app and receiver do not
"talk" to each other.
You can choose to use both
devices at once or switch
between devices.
Things to consider if choosing
both devices:
• Use your app during daily
activities where you already
take your smart device
• Use your receiver during
activities where your smart
device may not be allowed
(work or school)
• When you are sleeping,
silence your smart device
and use your receiver for
alerts
• If you carry both devices,
you will receive alerts and
must acknowledge alerts on
both devices
