Tips for Using Both Display Devices
The Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System allows you to use the app and
receiver at the same time. The transmitter sends data to both the app
and receiver. When using both at the same time, you should:
• Enter BG meter value on only 1 device - When you enter a value
into one device, the sensor glucose values may be different on the
other display device until the transmitter shares the entered value.
• Change alerts and acknowledge alerts on each device separately
Urgent Low Glucose Alarm
The automatic Urgent Low Glucose Alarm set at 3.1 mmol/L. You
cannot change or turn off this alarm or its re-alert settings.
Advanced Alerts
Advanced Alerts take your glucose sensing to the next level.
By default, these Alerts are turned OFF, but they can be turned ON, and
customized:
Rise Rate: Your device will alert you when your glucose is rising at a
rapid (0.11 mmol/L/min) or very rapid (0.17 mmol/L/min) rate. This
feature can help you avoid staying high over a long period of time.
Fall Rate: Your device will alert you when your glucose is falling at a
rapid (-0.11 mmol/L/min) or very rapid (-0.17 mmol/L/min) rate. This
feature can help you avoid low glucose events.
By default, the following alert is turned ON, but can be turned OFF, and
customized:
Signal Loss: Your device alerts you when you are not receiving
sensor glucose readings. Signal loss happens when your display
device and transmitter stop communicating; make sure you are
within range (6 meters), without obstruction.
Refer to your user guide for advanced features and
troubleshooting information.
