The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System helps empower patients with the choice to share their glucose data with up to 10 Followers. Dexcom Follow works with the Dexcom Share feature of the Dexcom G6 app to make that possible.*,†
Customisable circles of care from anywhere
The Dexcom Share feature within the Dexcom G6 app allows users to share glucose data with friends, family, and/or caregivers via compatible smart devices.*,†
Sharers select whether their Followers can view their glucose trend graphs and whether or not Followers will be notified of hyper- and hypoglycaemia at specified thresholds and intervals. The Dexcom Share feature is designed to notify Followers of glucose activity that may require the sharer's intervention, helping them stay connected when it matters most.
Getting started with the Dexcom Follow app
Dexcom Follow exclusively syncs with data from a patient’s Dexcom G6 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
Dexcom G6 is the only CGM system indicated for individuals ages two years and older, helping to support patients in different stages of life.
Børn, der deler
For børn, der bruger Dexcom CGM, er det at have en eller flere følgere forbundet med lavere gennemsnitligt glukoseniveau, mindre tid med hyper- og hypoglykæmi, mere tid inden for målområdet og en signifikant større udnyttelse af CGM.‡,1
Teenagere, der deler
Delere kan vælge, hvem der kan følge deres glukosedata, hvilket giver teenagere og unge voksne mere kontrol over, hvem der er med i deres diabetes-supportteam.
Voksne, der deler
Kravene til hverdagen kan gøre det svært for patienterne at holde styr på deres glukoseniveauer — selv når de har haft styr på deres diabetes i årtier. De kan dele dem med deres nærmeste, betroede kolleger og/eller nære venner for at få hjælp til at holde sig på sporet.
Ældre, der deler
Nogle patienter kan have brug for mere hjælp, når de nærmer sig livets senere faser. Dexcom Follow hjælper med at styrke folk, som måske har flere begrænsninger, og som deler glukosedata, ved at forbinde dem med personer som f.eks. omsorgspersoner og/eller deres pårørende.
Greater peace of mind
89% of adult Dexcom users who shared their glucose data with Followers*, † reported in a recent study that the feature had helped give them greater peace of mind compared with not using the sharing functionality.2
Reduced hypoglycaemia
62% of Dexcom CGM wearers reported fewer hypoglycaemic episodes vs baseline when they shared their glucose data with one or more Followers. *, †,2
Increased time in range
Having more Followers is associated with greater time in range for youth with type 1 diabetes.*, †, ||,3
