The Dexcom G6 sensor is Dexcom’s continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. It’s applied with one touch using the included automatic applicator and sends glucose readings to your iPhone, Android smartphone, or Dexcom receiver every 5 minutes — no more routine finger pricks.

Key benefits

• 10 days of use: one sensor provides continuous monitoring for ten days.
• Readings every 5 minutes: real-time data on your smartphone or receiver.
• Simple application: an automatic applicator is included — one touch, and the sensor is in place.
• Moisture-resistant: showering, rain, and swimming aren’t a problem.
• No daily calibration: the sensor is factory-calibrated, no test strips needed for daily use.
• For adults and children from age 2 (after consulting a doctor).
• Alerts: notifications for high and low glucose help you avoid complications from sudden changes.

How it works

• The sensor attaches to your body with the applicator and continuously measures glucose levels.
• A Dexcom G6 transmitter (lasts up to 3 months) clips into the sensor and sends data via Bluetooth.
• The Dexcom G6 app on your smartphone or the Dexcom receiver displays readings, trends, and alerts.

Compatibility with insulin pumps

Dexcom G6 integrates with automated insulin delivery systems — Omnipod 5 and Tandem t:slim X2 (Basal-IQ or Control-IQ). The connection is made through the Dexcom G6 transmitter. Before purchasing, check your pump model’s compatibility and make sure its software is up to date.

Considering the newer generation?

Dexcom G7 has a built-in transmitter (no separate one needed), a 30-minute warm-up instead of 2 hours, and a sensor that’s 60% smaller. That said, G6 remains a reliable and more affordable option, especially if you already have a working transmitter.

FAQ

How long does a Dexcom G6 sensor last?
10 days of continuous monitoring, after which the sensor is replaced with a new one.

Do I need a transmitter?
Yes, it’s required: the Dexcom G6 sensor only works with a Dexcom G6 transmitter, which clips into the sensor and sends data to your smartphone or receiver. One transmitter lasts up to 3 months and is used with several sensors in a row.

Does it need finger-stick calibration?
No daily calibration is needed — the sensor is factory-calibrated. That said, calibration is still possible: if needed, you can enter a glucose meter reading in the app and the system will adjust its readings.

Does the Dexcom G6 app work in Ukraine?
Yes. The app isn’t available in Ukrainian app stores, but it can be installed using an account from another region and then works without restrictions — step-by-step guide.

How does G6 differ from G7?
With G6, the transmitter is separate and lasts 3 months, with a 2-hour warm-up. With Dexcom G7, the transmitter is built into the sensor, the warm-up is 30 minutes, and the sensor itself is smaller.
