Reliability of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor During Hyperbaric Oxygen Exposure. People with diabetes-related ulcers may benefit from hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and from continuous glucose monitors (CGM). Although blood glucose (BG) meters based on glucose oxidase (GO) report erroneously low values at high pO, BG meters based on glucose dehydrogenase (GD) do not. We therefore examined the performance of a GO-based CGM system in comparison to GO-based and GD-based BG systems in normobaric air (NBAir), hyperbaric air (HBAir), and HBO environments. Twenty-six volunteers without diabetes mellitus (DM) wore Dexcom G6 CGM systems and provided periodic blood samples before, during, and after a standard HBO treatment consisting of three 30-min intervals of HBO separated by two 5-min
