That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?
DexCom operates the call center for this 888-738-3646 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 348 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the DexCom call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this DexCom phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like DexCom staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call DexCom is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 163% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 348 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

DexCom is a leading company specializing in the development and manufacturing of glucose monitoring systems. Our innovative technology enables continuous monitoring of glucose levels in people with diabetes, helping them manage their condition effectively. DexCom's primary product is the DexCom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System, which consists of a small sensor placed on the skin that measures glucose levels in real-time. This information is then wirelessly transmitted to a compatible device, providing users with valuable insights and alerts about their glucose trends and patterns. By allowing individuals to monitor their glucose levels without routine fingersticks, DexCom CGM empowers better diabetes management, helping users make more informed decisions about their health and ultimately improving their quality of life.
DexCom CGM, or Continuous Glucose Monitoring, works by measuring glucose levels continuously throughout the day and night. The system consists of a small sensor inserted under the skin, a transmitter that sends data from the sensor to a receiver or compatible smart device, and a mobile app for viewing glucose trends. The sensor detects glucose in the interstitial fluid and sends real-time measurements to the receiver or smart device, allowing users to track their glucose levels without the need for frequent fingersticks. The readings are displayed on the device's screen or mobile app, providing users with immediate feedback on their glucose levels. DexCom CGM helps users make informed decisions about managing their diabetes by alerting them to high or low glucose levels, helping to prevent dangerous fluctuations and improve overall glucose control.
Using DexCom CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) offers several benefits. Firstly, it provides real-time glucose readings every five minutes, enabling users to monitor their blood sugar levels continuously, leading to better diabetes management. This accurate and timely data assists in making informed decisions about insulin dosing, nutritional intake, and exercise. DexCom CGM also reduces the need for frequent fingerstick testing, as it eliminates the need for a manual glucose meter. Additionally, it allows for customizable alerts, notifying users of high or low glucose levels in real-time, providing increased safety and peace of mind. Moreover, DexCom CGM is compatible with smart devices, offering convenient accessibility and data sharing with healthcare professionals and caregivers. Overall, using DexCom CGM promotes improved diabetes management, enhanced safety, and a more integrated approach to diabetes care.

Information about why customers call DexCom is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- DexCom customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
