Dexcom G5x System User Guide
Sensor Glucose Alarm and Alerts
190
An Event is an action or situation affecting your glucose levels. With the G5x,
you have the ability to enter your daily Events, helping you track their effect on
your glucose trends. Once entered into the smart device or receiver, Events
can be viewed in Dexcom reports. The reports help you review how each
Event influenced your glucose trends. You can use the reports with your
healthcare professional to create a game plan in managing your diabetes.
Even though they differ on how to enter an Event and time, the app and
receiver have the same Event categories and subcategories. Later in this
chapter, you’ll learn how to enter Events in each device.
Event Categories
There are four main Event categories:
1. Carbs
2. Insulin
3. Exercise
4. Health
The fourth category, Health, has more options:
• Illness
• Stress
• Feel High
• Feel Low
• Cycle
• Alcohol
The following table provides more detail on each type of Event.
