Dexcom G6 Pro

Dexcom G6 Pro is a practice-owned diabetes management tool with the accuracy of the personal Dexcom G6 CGM System.  It can be used blinded (patients do not see data) or unblinded (patients with diabetes only, see real-time data) to monitor glucose levels for up to ten days.

A hand-held reader is used by the clinician to verify the session start, confirm the transmitter is working correctly and to extract data to Dexcom Clarity at the end of the sensor session.
