The Dexcom G5 Mobile is a compact CGM system that works to display real-time glucose activity on certain approved display devices. The launch of Dexcom G5 Mobile for Android allows people to manage their diabetes in a more personal and discrete way by providing glucose data on their Android mobile device, as well as the ability to share it safely and conveniently. This empowers them to make informed and timely decisions about their diabetes, resulting in better health outcomes.
"Providing Android users with access to the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System has been a priority for Dexcom," said Kevin Sayer, President and CEO, Dexcom. "The new Android app has been thoughtfully designed with customer needs and feedback in mind. It focuses on delivering technology that empowers users by putting critical glucose information on their phones and is compatible with the most popular Android devices currently in the market."
Once commercially available, the new app will make the Dexcom G5 Mobile available on millions of additional phones in the United States. The Dexcom G5 Mobile app for Android will initially be available on several Android devices from Samsung, Motorola and LG, as well as Android Wear watches.
A current list of compatible devices can be found at www.dexcom.com/compatibility.
Dexcom Follow app available for Android
The Dexcom Follow app is now available to download from the Google Play Store...
Looks like this is a partial rollout... Dexcom's compatibility chart (below) indicates that the Dexcom Share app is still iOS only. I like Dexcom making the Follow app available before the entire suite of apps is ready, makes sense to get what they have into the world asap.
Android users: please let me know how the app is working for you...
