## What is Dexcom Follow (US)?

The Dexcom Follow App is part of the Dexcom SHARE® system.  

Use this app if your loved one is sharing data from their Dexcom CGM app.  The Sharer will need to send an invitation to allow you to connect after you have installed the Follow app.

Dexcom Follow is the perfect companion to your loved one’s Dexcom CGM, connecting you to those nearest and dearest to you, even when they’re far away. Through secure wireless connections, Dexcom Follow allows you to view and follow the glucose levels, trends and data of your loved ones.  Whether you have a child who is in school, an elderly parent who lives on their own, or a spouse who is going on a business trip, Dexcom Follow is there to keep you connected and informed.

With Dexcom Follow, you can:

     •	Monitor your loved one’s glucose activity at school or anywhere they go.
     •	Receive glucose information of up to 10 different Sharers – children, friends, or other loved ones.
     •	Respond quickly with the help of customizable glucose alerts and push notifications that can inform you when a Sharer’s glucose levels are outside the norm.

Dexcom Follow is compatible with your Apple Watch. You can follow and view glucose information and trend graphs of up to ten people right on your wrist. Your watch can also alert you when sharer's glucose levels are outside the norm.

Do not use Dexcom Follow for treatment decisions, such as insulin dosing. The Sharer should follow instructions on the CGM system.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2025-09-02, version 4.6.1*

App simply doesn't work. If you want to follow somebody's blood sugar level, make sure they use some other device and not Dexcom.
You would think they care more, they're just a bunch of idiots.

### 3/5 — Widget Issues

*2025-09-02, version 4.6.1*

Widget no longer displays sharer name or number.  Please fix.

### 4/5 — Reliable

*2025-09-01, version 4.6.1*

The app works well for us to be able to keep up with family member’s BG. Recently, the widget stopped providing readings on my phone screen. Additionally, an upgrade to the watch version to allow for readings on the watch face would be great.

### 2/5 — Please add Live Activity feature

*2025-08-31, version 4.6.1*

Please add Live Activity feature

### 3/5 — Broken Widget

*2025-08-31, version 4.6.1*

Latest update broke the Home Screen widget. Nothing displays.

### 3/5 — No sensor expiring info

*2025-08-27, version 4.6.0*

It is imperative that the follow application provide the information on when the sensor session will expire! This is extremely important for tracking of young family members, but useful for everyone! Type 1 diabetes is a life threatening disease and must be taken seriously by any company that provides devices /software to monitor blood glucose!

### 1/5 — 🤓

*2025-08-26, version 4.6.0*

It’s not working properly 🌚

### 3/5 — No widget?

*2025-08-24, version 4.6.0*

Could use a widget for this

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-08-21, version 4.6.0*

I have tried and tried to add my husband onto my g7 so he can keep up with my very brittle diabetes and my blood sugars. It says on the g7 app on my phone that he is following but he can't get anything on his phone. The g6 worked fine. We are very dissatisfied and aggravated.

### 1/5 — Useless tool

*2025-08-19, version 4.6.0*

Used this app for my son for years and through multiple upgrades now every time I open app it just closes out right away
