4.3 The G5x
The G5x is a medical device you use on yourself. It allows you to continually
see your sensor glucose readings, updated every five minutes for up to 7
days, without the bother of taking constant fingerstick measurements. A
single-use sensor inserted under your skin measures your sensor glucose
readings. A reusable transmitter sends your data to your display device.
The G5x provides personalized trend Alerts, notifying you to proactively react
when your glucose levels are getting too low or too high. Dexcom provides
web-based reports reflecting your glucose trends and patterns. Share the
reports with your healthcare professional when developing your diabetes
management treatment plans.
Some users of the G5x System may need a caregiver involved in their care.
Please consult your physician for guidance.
Options to View Your Trends
The G5x transmitter works with a number of display devices, giving you
flexibility to use what’s best for you, your situation, or your lifestyle.
