In it's basic condition it requires a manual activity to get a reading. Your sensor is glued to your arm and you have to put your reader or smartphone next to it to get a reading. The sensor will record and store glucose readings every few minutes and then the whole data set gets uploaded to the 'monitor' when you take a reading. (In my mind it's a bit of a stretch to call it a monitor but that's just me!).G6 is a Constant Glucose Monitor (CGM) and the sensor is continually uploading data to a reader using bluetooth technology.I cannot tell you which is best as I've never used the Dexcom G6.</blockquote>
