Dexcom Follow
Dexcom Follow is a free application software download that displays your glucose levels on your smartphone. It also allows you to share your glucose data with family, friends, or coworkers, allowing them to view your readings and trends. It works with Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGM) and can be paired with any compatible Android device.
The app shows real-time glucose levels for people with diabetes every five minutes. It also includes an alert schedule, which allows users to customise their alerts to suit their lifestyles. Alerts can be customised to include Low and High Glucose Alerts, Urgent Low Soon alert**, Rise and Fall Rate alert** and can be heard even if the phone is set to silent or Do Not Disturb mode.
This app can be used with any compatible Android device, whether it is a mobile phone or tablet. It will work with any Dexcom G6 CGM system and can be paired with a wide range of insulin pumps.
This application is a useful tool for anyone who has diabetes and wants to track their blood sugar levels more closely, or for those who are looking for an alternative solution to AAPS (Automated APSs). For example, the Bluejay GTS watch is able to receive glucose data directly from the transmitter using a separate channel to the one used by AAPS phones. This means it can be used when a person disconnects from their pump and AAPS phone, for instance at a beach or flume park, without having to carry an additional AAPS phone with them.
