Parents of kids with type 1 diabetes - meet your new superpower.
When it comes to managing type 1 diabetes, knowledge really can be a superpower. With the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System, you can always know your child's number† and where it's headed with zero fingersticks* -- when they're at home, at school, even at a sleepover.
Customizable Alerts
Always know your child’s glucose numbers with just a quick glance at your display device*, or included receiver. Set a range to get notified when they’re too high or low.
Take Control
Use of Dexcom CGM systems is proven to lower A1C and reduce hypoglycemia*, and it helps you see where your child’s glucose levels are heading.
* Welsh, J.B. Diabetes Technol Ther. 2019; 21(3):128-132
Zero Fingersticks
The Dexcom G6 is FDA-permitted to make diabetes treatment decisions without confirmatory fingersticks or calibration.*
Share Your Glucose Data
Use the Dexcom Share feature available in the Dexcom G6 app to provide your glucose data with up to 10 followers.*
