• Dexcom G5 Mobile Receiver
• Dexcom G5 Mobile App on your smart device
While the system works with different smart devices, they are not interchangeable during
a sensor session. Before starting one, select which smart device you want to use and stick
with it throughout your session. You cannot use multiple smart devices at the same time, but
you can combine the receiver with a smart device during a session.
The Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System is the first CGM system where a smart
device acts as a receiver. For a list of current devices and operating systems go to:

Chapter 4 covers how to set up your smart device with the Dexcom G5 Mobile App.
The primary difference between the Dexcom G5 Receiver and Dexcom G5 App is not the
information they give you, but how that information is presented. The following are some of
the shared CGM data and system information features.

Tracking Real Time CGM Data

The receiver and app give you the ability to track your glucose trends in a number of different
ways. Each device's home screen opens to your glucose trend screen.

View Glucose Levels

The receiver and app share many of the same glucose monitoring features. Your glucose
values are color coded to highlight what zone you are in, allowing you, at a glance, to see
what your levels are.
Color coded glucose levels:
• Red - Low
• Grey - Within your normal range
• Yellow - High

Trend Arrows

Glucose levels are not just about the numbers. The Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System
includes trend arrows so you know the speed and direction of your glucose, allowing you to
proactively react before your glucose gets too high or too low.

Alarm/Alerts

Being warned when your glucose value is too high or too low, falling or rising too quickly, or
if it is trending towards a severe low or high is very important. Warnings in the form of Alerts
