Getting Started with Dexcom G7

These videos are designed to support patient onboarding by walking through the Dexcom G7 setup experience step-by-step.  These videos can be used during visits, shared after appointments, or assigned as pre-visit education.

The series includes clear demonstrations for:

  • Getting started with the Dexcom G7 app on a compatible smartphone*
  • Getting started with the Dexcom G7 receiver

Each video covers key steps for patients new to Dexcom CGM - creating an account, inserting the sensor, pairing the device, warm-up, and navigating core features.  

To further support patients, Getting Started PDF guides are also available on this page.  These guides, available in English and Spanish, can be shared digitally or printed to reinforce setup steps and provide a reference patients can return to at home.
