Dexcom Follow App
The Dexcom Share feature within the Dexcom G7 app allows users to share data with up to 10 friends, family, and/or caregivers via compatible smart devices.*,†
Sharers have full customisability over what followers can view and hear. This feature is designed to notify followers of glucose activity that may require intervention, connecting them when it matters most.
Getting Started with the
Dexcom Follow App
Dexcom Follow exclusively syncs with data from a patient’s Dexcom mobile app.*,† In order for a designated follower to begin receiving a patient’s glucose data and/or alerts, the patient must manually choose to share their data first.
Refined remote monitoring options support patients across multiple age groups
Only Dexcom CGM Systems are indicated for individuals ages 2 years and older, helping to support patients in different stages of life.
Paediatric sharer
For children using Dexcom CGM, having one or more Followers is associated with lower mean glucose, less time in hyper- and hypoglycaemia, more time spent in range, and significantly higher CGM utilisation.‡,1
Adolescent sharer
Sharers can choose who follows their glucose data, giving teenagers and young adults more control over who’s on their diabetes support team.
Adult sharer
The demands of day-to-day life can make it hard for patients to stay on top of their glucose levels—even if they’ve managed their diabetes for decades. They can share with significant others, trusted colleagues, and/or close friends to help them stay on track.
Elderly sharer
Some patients may need greater assistance as they approach later stages of life. Dexcom Follow helps empower sharers who may have more limitations by connecting them to individuals like caregivers, and/or loved ones.
