Navigating the world of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can feel like a lot at first, especially when you’re comparing a well-known diabetes CGM like Dexcom G6 with a program-led option like Vively.
The good news is that the “right” choice is usually clear once you match the system to your goal: clinical glucose management vs lifestyle-driven metabolic insight.
CGMs track glucose trends throughout the day and night, so you can see how meals, movement, sleep, and stress influence your glucose patterns. That continuous data can be powerful, but what you do with it depends on why you’re wearing a sensor in the first place.
Dexcom G6 is widely used by people living with diabetes, particularly those who need consistent real-time glucose visibility and alerts as part of a clinical management plan. It’s designed around glucose monitoring for day-to-day treatment decisions, rather than broader lifestyle coaching.
Vively is designed for non-diabetics who want to understand their metabolic patterns and turn those insights into practical habits. The program is built around connecting glucose trends with everyday inputs (food, sleep, stress, movement), so the data becomes usable, not just interesting.
Vively is moving to the Sibionics GS3 CGM sensor. That matters because sensor design changes how frequently data arrives, how reliable the connection feels in daily life, and how comfortable the experience is over time. The GS3 is designed for Bluetooth transmission (no scanning) and frequent updates, which supports a smoother “check, learn, adjust” loop.

The best choice comes back to your goal.
If you’re managing diabetes with a clinical plan and want a standalone CGM system with real-time alerts and automatic readings, Dexcom G6 is built for that use case.
If your focus is weight, energy, cravings, metabolic insight, or lifestyle optimisation, and you want real-time monitoring paired with guidance that helps you act on patterns—Vively is designed for that program-led journey.
Important safety note: CGMs measure glucose in interstitial fluid (not directly from blood), so readings can lag behind blood glucose changes. If you have symptoms that don’t match your CGM reading, use a finger-prick blood glucose meter and follow your clinician’s advice.
