20.2 Dexcom

Overview

Dexcom

is a feature within the G5 Mobile app. It allows for remote

monitoring from one person, the Sharer, to another person, the Follower, of

G5 Mobile data.

Dexcom

includes:

•

G5 Mobile System

•

Sharer’s smart device

•

G5 Mobile app

•

Internet connection

•

Follower’s smart device

•

Dexcom Follow app

You cannot use the

feature with the receiver.

Once the Sharer activates the G5 Mobile app

feature, the smart device

transfers sensor glucose readings to the Dexcom

Cloud using either

Wi-Fi or a cellular data plan. Then, the sensor glucose readings are sent from

the Dexcom

Cloud to the Follower’s smart device using Wi-Fi or the

Follower’s cellular data plan.

Figure 8. Sharing

The Sharer must be within 20 feet of the smart device in order to send data to

the Follower or it will not work.
