Sharing is Caring

Followers who are concerned by notifications on the Dexcom Follow app
should contact Sharers and remind them to check their BG with a BG meter
before driving a car or making any treatment decisions, such as taking insulin
or eating fast-acting carbohydrates.
Sharers should not rely on Followers to notify them about low or high glucose.
Any problems with smart device(s), Bluetooth , wireless Internet connection,
mobile data connection, Dexcom Share Cloud, or not being in the
communication range could cause data to not be shared with the Follower. In
addition, if the Delay setting is too long, the Follower might not be aware of
glucose level changes in a reasonable time. Therefore, the Dexcom Share
feature should be used only to give a secondary level of awareness and
should not be expected to always communicate and transfer sensor glucose
readings and information.
Benefits
Patients usually respond when their continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
systems notify them.
However, experts advise that an additional CGM Alert to another person may
be helpful in increasing the detection of low glucose or high glucose values,
especially at night. The Dexcom Share feature enables this additional
awareness, even when the Sharer and Follower are not in the same place.
The Dexcom Share feature may provide improved quality of life and greater
peace of mind to patients, their caregivers, and their support team by allowing
the G5x Alerts, Alarms, and trend graphs to be checked remotely.
