What is Dexcom G6® Continuous Glucose Monitor?
The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a revolutionary medical device that provides real-time data about the body's glucose levels. It is designed to help people with diabetes better manage their condition and improve their quality of life. The Dexcom CGM is a small, thin sensor that can be worn on the body and continually monitor glucose levels throughout the day and night.
How does it work?
The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system is a revolutionary new way to monitor glucose levels. It is designed to provide real-time glucose readings with greater accuracy and convenience than ever before. The Dexcom G6 CGM system can help millions of people manage their diabetes, by providing information and feedback on their glucose levels throughout the day without having to draw blood or manually record readings.
This unique system consists of:
Sensor
The Dexcom G6 sensor, about the size of your thumbnail, features a tiny wire attached to its underside. A one-touch applicator enables you to easily insert this wire just beneath your skin. When applying a Dexcom G6 CGM sensor, you'll feel a slight pinch as the needle inside the applicator pushes the sensor through your skin to reach the interstitial fluid. Each sensor comes with an auto-applicator making insertion very quick and simple. Each sensor can be worn for up to 10 days.
Transmitter
The Dexcom transmitter snaps into the sensor and sends real-time glucose readings wirelessly to a compatible smartphone° via Bluetooth.
The display system
The Dexcom G6 App is compatible with most Apple and Android smart devices and features continuous updates with new glucose data received from the sensor without you need to scan for updates. The system uses glucose data and shows it using easy-to-understand numbers and color-coded arrows that show how quickly your glucose is rising or falling.
How does it measure glucose levels?
The Dexcom G6 measures interstitial fluid glucose. This is the effused fluid surrounding and nourishing the body's cells, giving them essential nutrients, such as glucose. After glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream, it moves into the interstitial fluid. Since the exchanges will happen continuously, Since the exchanges will happen continuously, the blood test is just as valid as the water test.
What are the benefits of the Dexcom G6 CGM system?
