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.
Condivisore in età pediatrica
Per i bambini che usano l'CGM Dexcom, la presenza di uno o più Follower è associata a un valore medio del glucosio più basso, minor tempo trascorso in iper e ipoglicemia, più tempo trascorso nell'intervallo ottimale e un utilizzo significativamente più elevato del monitoraggio continuo del glucosio.‡,1
Condivisore in età adolescenziale
I condivisori possono scegliere chi segue i loro dati relativi al glucosio, dando ai teenager e ai giovani adulti maggior controllo su chi fa parte del loro team di assistenza per il diabete.
Condivisore in età adulta
Le esigenze della vita quotidiana possono rendere difficile ai pazienti seguire i propri livelli di glucosio, anche se gestiscono il proprio diabete da anni. Possono condividerli con i loro cari, con colleghi fidati e/o amici per ricevere il sostegno necessario a rimanere in carreggiata.
Condivisore in età anziana
Alcuni pazienti potrebbero richiedere maggiore assistenza con l'avvicinarsi alla terza età. Dexcom Follow permette di aiutare i condivisori che potrebbero avere maggiori limitazioni collegandoli a caregiver e/o persone care.
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
