3.2 Benefits
Daily habits impact your glucose levels. With the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System, you
can track how your exercise, carbs, stress levels, medication, or illness, influence your
glucose levels.
Knowing Your Trends
Providing sensor glucose readings every five minutes, for up to seven days, the
Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System helps you detect trends and patterns. Trend
information reveals where your glucose is now, where your glucose is heading, and
how fast it’s changing.
Helps in Your Diabetes Management
The Alarm/Alerts features keep you aware of your glucose levels. Alerts notify you
when your glucose goes outside your target range or is rapidly falling or rising,
informing you to take action before you get too low or too high. The Urgent Low Alarm
lets you know when you are dangerously or urgently low, going below 55 mg/dL. By
taking corrective measures, you lessen the time spent in your low/high range, while
increasing time in your targeted range (Garg, 2006; Battelino, 2011).
Real-time CGM can help improve your A1C as well as improve the quality of your
glucose control. If you are at or below 7%, using a CGM such as Dexcom’s G5 Mobile
CGM System, helps reduce hypoglycemia (Tamborlane, 2008).
Lowering your A1C, increasing your time in your target range while decreasing time
in low/high BG range is believed to reduce your risk of diabetes related complications
(Ohkubo, 1995).
When you use your CGM device regularly, you get peace of mind. (Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study Group. 2010)
