How does a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor work?

Analytics

For those PWDs who are able to upload their G5 system data to Dexcom servers (such as G5 users with a cellphone receiver), Dexcom provides a powerful analyitcs app called Clarity (at clarity.dexcom.com):

On Clarity, you can review your data day by day, look at superposed daily pictures of your CGM data, review averages, and review patterns detected by the app. To be frank, the app finds fewer patterns than an experienced user would – but I am sometimes surprised by the app finding a pattern I have not detected.
