The Dexcom G6 Sensor is part of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. It is a small, wearable sensor that is inserted just beneath the skin to continuously monitor your glucose levels throughout the day and night. The sensor works with a compatible smartphone or smart device or a Dexcom G6 receiver, allowing you to view your glucose readings in real time without routine fingersticks for calibration.*
The sensor measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid, which is the fluid surrounding the body’s cells. It then wirelessly sends glucose readings to your compatible display device, helping you track glucose trends, receive alerts, and make informed diabetes management decisions.
*Fingersticks may still be required if your glucose alerts and readings do not match your symptoms or expectations, or in other situations as recommended by the manufacturer or your healthcare provider.
The Dexcom G6 Sensor is factory calibrated, so routine fingerstick calibrations are not required.* Before starting a new sensor, enter the sensor code into your compatible smart device or Dexcom G6 receiver. Once the sensor is activated, it wirelessly communicates with the Dexcom G6 Transmitter, which continuously sends real-time glucose readings to your display device.
Before inserting the sensor, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Avoid using hand sanitizer or gel-based cleaners, as they may affect the sensor or adhesive. Clean the insertion site with an alcohol wipe and allow the skin to dry completely before applying the sensor. Keeping the skin clean and dry helps the adhesive stay in place. Leave the safety guard on the Dexcom G6 applicator until you are ready to insert the sensor.
Remove the sensor applicator from its packaging and peel away the adhesive backing. Place the applicator on a clean, dry area of skin—typically the abdomen for adults—and press firmly to secure it. Next, remove the transmitter from its packaging, align it with the sensor, and press down until it clicks securely into place. Follow the instructions on your Dexcom G6 receiver or compatible smart device to start the sensor session. This usually includes entering the sensor code and confirming activation.
After insertion, the Dexcom G6 Sensor requires a 2-hour warm-up period before it begins displaying glucose readings. During this time, your receiver or smart device may display a “No Data” message. Once the warm-up period is complete, the sensor will automatically begin providing real-time glucose readings, which you can view on your compatible smart device or Dexcom G6 receiver.
Each Dexcom G6 Sensor is designed to be worn continuously for up to 10 days. Approximately 24 hours before the sensor session ends, your compatible smart device or Dexcom receiver will notify you that it is time to replace the sensor. If you need to remove the sensor before the 10-day wear period is complete, you can end the sensor session early using the Dexcom G6 app or the Dexcom G6 receiver settings.
Unlike earlier Dexcom systems, the Dexcom G6 does not require routine fingerstick calibration, because each sensor is factory calibrated before use.*
*Fingerstick blood glucose measurements may still be needed if your glucose readings or alerts do not match your symptoms or expectations, or in other situations recommended by your healthcare provider or the manufacturer.
Dexcom G6 Sensor (Glucose Sensor) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before using the Dexcom G6 Sensor, carefully read the product instructions and receive training from your healthcare provider. Proper sensor placement and use are important for obtaining accurate glucose readings and ensuring safe diabetes management.
Some people may experience skin irritation, redness, itching, or an allergic reaction at the sensor insertion site.
To help reduce the risk of skin irritation:
Although the Dexcom G6 Sensor is designed to provide accurate, real-time glucose readings, the values may occasionally differ from blood glucose meter readings.
Use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions if:
The Dexcom G6 Sensor and transmitter may be affected by electromagnetic interference from certain electronic or medical devices.
To help ensure accurate glucose readings, keep the sensor and transmitter away from sources of interference whenever possible and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for device use.
Correct sensor insertion is essential for both comfort and accurate glucose monitoring.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for:
Improper placement may affect sensor performance or lead to inaccurate glucose readings.
Each new Dexcom G6 Sensor requires a 2-hour warm-up period before glucose readings become available.
During this time:
The Dexcom G6 Sensor should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Your healthcare provider can help you:
Regular follow-up appointments can help ensure you are using the Dexcom G6 System safely and effectively.
Each Dexcom G6 Sensor is designed to be worn for up to 10 days. After 10 days, remove the used sensor and insert a new one to continue receiving accurate glucose readings. Your compatible smart device or Dexcom G6 receiver will notify you when your sensor session is about to end and when it is time to replace the sensor.
Yes. The Dexcom G6 Sensor is water-resistant and can be worn while swimming, showering, or participating in most water activities. However, avoid prolonged exposure to water, such as spending extended periods in hot tubs or saunas, as this may affect the sensor’s performance or cause the adhesive to loosen.
No. The Dexcom G6 Sensor is factory calibrated, so routine fingerstick calibrations are not required. Once you enter the sensor code when starting a new sensor, the system is designed to provide accurate glucose readings without the need for manual calibration. However, if your glucose readings or alerts do not match how you feel, or if your healthcare provider recommends it, use a blood glucose meter to confirm your glucose level before making diabetes treatment decisions.
