About Follow

Dexcom Follow - Monitor a Loved One’s Glucose Wherever You Are!

What Follow Is Used For

Follow is a medical phone app from Dexcom that appears to be used for remote glucose monitoring. Based on the metadata, it is commonly intended for people who want to view a loved one’s glucose information from their own Android device rather than on the person’s main diabetes device.

The app’s permissions suggest it may need internet access, background operation, notifications, and startup handling so it can update readings and send alerts when changes occur. Because it is a phone app in the Medical category, it is most relevant for day-to-day monitoring, family support, and keeping track of glucose trends while away from the person being followed. It may be useful for caregivers, parents, partners, or other trusted contacts who need timely visibility into glucose status without using the primary device directly.

Common uses

  • View a loved one’s glucose information on a phone
  • Receive notifications that may help with ongoing monitoring
  • Check readings remotely when you are away from the person
  • Use as a caregiver tool for diabetes-related support
  • Stay informed through background updates and alerts
  • Rely on mobile connectivity for live or near-live access
  • Fit into a personal phone workflow rather than a large-screen setup
Best for:
caregivers family members remote monitoring diabetes support phone users
