The Dexcom G6 Receiver is a device used to display glucose readings and is part of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. It allows users to view their glucose information at a glance on the touchscreen display. It provides real-time glucose readings and delivers alerts and alarms for pending highs and lows.

Dexcom G6 receivers may be used as the display device instead of the Dexcom G6 app available for compatible smart devices. The receiver typically needs to be recharged every 2 days using an electrical outlet, rather than a computer or laptop port. A full charge may take up to 3 hours.

The receiver displays and stores the readings. The receiver can be the Dexcom receiver, your smart phone (using the Dexcom app), or an insulin pump that is compatible with the Dexcom G6 system.

To use the Dexcom G6 Receiver, charge the receiver using the provided cable and adapter. Press and hold the Power button for two seconds to turn on the receiver. Follow the setup screens on the receiver to input the transmitter serial number and complete the initial configuration. Use the one-touch applicator to insert the small sensor just beneath the skin. Then, attach the transmitter to the sensor. The transmitter sends glucose data wirelessly to the receiver.

Once the sensor and transmitter are properly in place, start the sensor on the receiver by following the instructions provided in the Dexcom G6 user guide or manual. This step enables the receiver to begin displaying your glucose readings. The Dexcom G6 Receiver will display your glucose information on its touchscreen. You can view trends, set up alerts and alarms for high and low glucose levels, and use the receiver to make diabetes treatment decisions. Note that the Dexcom G6 system provides real-time glucose readings.

Common Side Effects of Dexcom G6 Receiver (Glucose monitor):

  • Some individuals may experience skin irritation or redness at the sensor insertion site. This can be minimized by following proper insertion techniques and ensuring good skin preparation before sensor placement.
  • Inserting the sensor may cause mild pain or a sensation of pressure at the insertion site. This sensation is temporary and should subside shortly after insertion.
  • Although rare, there is a minor disease risk at the sensor insertion site. Following proper hygiene practices and keeping the insertion site clean is essential to minimize this risk.

Dexcom G6 Receiver is available in the following forms and strength:

  • No dose

  • While the Dexcom G6 system eliminates the need for finger sticks for diabetes treatment decisions in most cases, there may be situations where symptoms or expectations do not match the readings. In such cases, finger sticks may still be required.
  • The Dexcom G6 Receiver may have compatibility limitations with certain devices. Check the compatibility of your smart device or insulin pump with the Dexcom G6 Receiver before use.
  • The Dexcom G6 Receiver has a smaller size and a more vibrant, easier-to-read display compared to previous models. However, handle it with care to avoid damage.
  • The use of the Dexcom G6 system, including the receiver, requires a prescription from a healthcare professional. Follow the instructions and guidance provided by your healthcare team regarding the use of the Dexcom G6 Receiver.
  • Some individuals may experience skin irritation or redness at the sensor insertion site. Follow proper skin preparation and sensor insertion techniques as recommended by Dexcom to minimize the risk of skin irritation.
  • While the Dexcom G6 system provides continuous glucose monitoring, be aware that there may be discrepancies between the sensor readings and actual blood glucose levels. Perform regular fingerstick blood glucose checks to verify the accuracy of the readings.
  • The Dexcom G6 sensor has a limited lifespan and will need to be replaced after a certain number of days (typically 10 days). Follow the recommended sensor wear time and replace the sensor as instructed by Dexcom.
  • The Dexcom G6 Receiver may be susceptible to interference from electronic devices or electromagnetic fields. Keep the receiver away from sources of interference, such as cell phones, magnets, or airport security scanners, to ensure accurate readings.

Is the Dexcom G6 Receiver required for all patients?

Medicare requires the use of the receiver for all patients. For other payers, patients have the choice of what device to view their numbers, including the receiver.

Is the Dexcom G6 Receiver waterproof?

No, the Dexcom G6 Receiver is not waterproof. It is only water-resistant, meaning it can withstand splashes and brief exposure to water, but it should not be submerged or exposed to excessive moisture.

Can I use the Dexcom G6 Receiver without a smartphone?

Yes, the Dexcom G6 Receiver can be used independently without a smartphone. It displays real-time glucose readings, trend arrows, and alerts. However, using the Dexcom G6 app on a compatible smartphone provides additional features and convenience.

Can I use the Dexcom G6 Receiver during exercise or physical activity?

Yes, the Dexcom G6 Receiver is designed to be used during exercise or physical activity. Secure the receiver in a safe and comfortable location, such as a pocket or armband, to ensure it stays in place during movement.
