Dexcom won FDA approval for its new Dexcom G5 Mobile continuous glucose monitoring system that features a Bluetooth-enabled sensor that talks directly to Apple iOS devices. The readings show up within the Dexcom Follow app and can be automatically shared with family members and caretakers who have the same app installed on their devices. It looks like the system is compatible with the new Apple Watch and an Android compatible version of the app is in the works as well.
The system is meant for adults and kids as young as two years old and the sensor can be worn continuously longer than any other on the market. There is an alarm that will activate if glucose drops below 55 mg/dL to warn the user and caretakers of the need to take action.
Here’s a Dexcom promo video for the G5 Mobile CGM:
