For your convenience (and safety!), no need to stop everything and enter your
Events as they are happening. When you have a moment, you can enter your
Events retroactively in your app or receiver.
Events are entered as individual occurrences: don’t enter daily totals, enter
each Event separately.
In the next section, you will learn how to enter Events, first in your smart
device, then in your receiver.
10.3 Entering Events
You probably will enter Events in the display device you use most often;
however, you should know how to enter Events into each.
First, let’s look at how to enter Events in a smart device, then in the receiver.
When using Dexcom Share, you can allow your Followers to see your Event
entries. For more Dexcom Share information, please see Part 5.
Entering Events: Smart Device
In the app, Events are just a tap away! The Event icon, a running man, is on
the app’s home screen task bar in portrait mode (remember, you don’t have
the task bar in landscape).
Entering Events for the Carbs, Insulin, Exercise, and Health categories follows
the same steps. If you can enter a Carbs Event, you can enter an Insulin
Event. To enter Events, we’ll use the above scenario. The following table
shows how to enter Carbs (drive-thru lunch) and Stress (traffic jam) Events.
