This device allows the user to track their glucose every five minutes throughout the day and night with up to 288 glucose readings in a 24-hour period.  The system notifies the user of highs and lows based on preset ranges. The Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM system was FDA-approved in December 2016.  This device helps reduce the guesswork that comes from making decisions based on a single blood glucose meter reading in hopes of better diabetes management.
