Range of Dexcom Share (Bluetooth) versus Dexcom G4 receiver?

[irrational_John]

FWIW, below is a quote from another discussion thread with another guess about what the approximate range of the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) wireless communication between the Dexcom Share monitor and an Apple device might be.

With direct line of sight I would say about 30ft. If you start going behind thick walls then it drops down to about 20ft. If the dropout is within 5 minutes then the watch will still show the last reading. If the dex receiver loses contact with the iPhone then the watch will show “—” after about 5 minutes of no data.

I have been able to leave both the phone and dex receiver in my kitchen (center of my house) and walk around with no major dropouts. I’ve gone up/down stairs, in the garage, in the front yard to get the mail, and in the backyard while still receiving a signal. So, all the devices do not have to be on your person 24/7.

Hope that helps.
