What is Dexcom G6 Sensor?

Dexcom G6 Sensor is a device used to monitor glucose levels continuously in patients with diabetes. It provides real-time glucose readings and sends them directly to a device such as a smartphone or Dexcom G6 receiver.

Dexcom G6 Sensor works by measuring glucose levels in your interstitial fluid—the fluid between your cells. A tiny sensor inserted under your skin does this. The sensor is connected to a transmitter which sends the data to the receiver, providing real-time glucose levels throughout the day and night.
