The small, sleek, and completely redesigned Dexcom G7 receiver gives people living with diabetes the information they need in a device designed to fit their lives. Seamlessly integrated into the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System, this device relays users’ glucose numbers in a vibrant, easy-to-read, and full-color display. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with the Dexcom G7 app on a smartphone, providing both users and their healthcare providers with powerful insights.
The slim, ergonomic design simplifies use, and a four-way directional button makes it easy for older or visually challenged customers to navigate. The receiver’s design language purposely shifts the tone from medical to friendly and conversational, demonstrating that Dexcom G7 is there to support users while they manage the challenges of diabetes.

The vibrant, full- color display of the Dexcom G7 receiver and a four-way directional button makes it easy for older or visually challenged customers to navigate.
The design also makes the Dexcom G7 receiver enjoyable to use. At just 55g, its lightweight body makes it effortless to take everywhere users want to go. The battery lasts up to seven days on a single charge, so users can be confident in getting their numbers when they go out for the day.
People with diabetes can also gain better control over their health by tracking their meals and activity and how they affect glucose numbers. The new Dexcom G7 receiver stores 180 days of data and integrates with Dexcom Clarity Summary reports, giving users and their healthcare providers powerful insights from their glucose data over time and more confident management of their diabetes.
Many users don’t have a smartphone or don’t want to use their smartphone to monitor their glucose levels. With pocket and handbag space at a premium, the Dexcom receiver’s small size makes it convenient to carry on-the-go. It’s also easy to use, which is particularly important for children and older adults who are less tech savvy.
The receiver is also more enjoyable to use with a bright, vibrant screen that makes it easy to read. Additionally, it can last over a week on a single charge, so users can rely on it day-in and day-out and focus on living their lives.
Some insurance providers, most notably Medicare, require the use of a receiver. Not all CGM brands offer them. Because Dexcom G7 has a receiver that is reliable and easy to use, it is eligible for reimbursement under those health plans. The new receiver design also comes with a lower cost, making it more affordable to both health plans and users who pay out of pocket. The design of the receiver makes the Dexcom G7 System easier to use and set up, widening the range of people with diabetes who would now consider using a CGM system. This ease of use, along with its long-lasting battery, support one of Dexcom’s major business objectives—to be extremely user-friendly and empower as many people as possible to control their health.
The Dexcom G7 System was engineered with safety, comfort, and convenience for an unmatched user experience. The color, materials, and finish were aligned with the other hardware products in the Dexcom G7 product line to create a unified visual brand language and enhance the overall brand expression. Rounded edges additionally help tie the receiver stylistically to other Dexcom G7 hardware.
The usability and function of the Dexcom G7 receiver also demanded special attention to its dimensions, requiring a small size for more convenient carrying. This is especially important when users must carry it with their smartphones and other items. The aesthetic appeal further included consideration of colors used for the device. White is used as the main color of the back housing to make it appear uncluttered, hygienic, and lightweight. Black is used on the front housing and button to make the 2.4” display screen visually larger. The screen display shows a dark background with lighter graphics and text, helping with contrast and creating the perception of a larger screen when matched with the black recessed bezel.
