1 • Welcome
Thanks for choosing the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System (G7)! Using
this medical device, you'll see your glucose readings on your display device just by wearing a
tiny sensor!
Here are some of the benefits of using G7 to manage your glucose:
lNo more fingersticks: G7 allows you to make treatment decisions without fingersticks. (If
your glucose alerts and readings from the G7 do not match symptoms or expectations, use
a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.)
lPredict and prevent highs and lows: With G7, you have the information needed to keep
your glucose in range, you can customize your alert schedule, and you get a 20-minute
warning when your glucose is quickly heading towards 55mg/dL.
