The Dexcom G7 sends glucose information and personalized alerts right to a user’s Apple Watch using a dedicated Bluetooth connection. The Dexcom G7 is currently the only CGM system that can display glucose on multiple devices simultaneously and independently, including on a smartphone, smart watch, receiver or connected automated insulin delivery system.

Other benefits include:

  • Being able to leave a phone behind for activities such as exercise.
