The group of Certified Diabetes Care and 
Education Specialists (CDCES) from our study 
could set up Dexcom G7 in 7 minutes. G7 has 
half the setup steps of G61

Superior Accuracy^

 

Dexcom G7 is our most accurate CGM system3 giving people living with diabetes the confidence to make informed diabetes decisions. 
Dexcom CGM systems have been studied in over 250 registered clinical trials.#

  • 8.2% overall adult MARD‡ (back of the arm)4
  • 8.1% overall paediatric MARD‡ (back of the arm)
  • For Paediatrics, after the initial 24 hours the MARD was below 8% for the remaining days of wear5
  • 95.3% of the sensor readings (upper arm) fall within ±1.1 mmol/L of the YSI blood glucose values <3.9 mmol/L and within ±20% of YSI blood glucose values ≥3.9 mmol/L4,5

Better Health Outcomes 

 

Dexcom G7 offers predictive alerts with the Urgent Low Soon (ULS) feature enabling proactive intervention to prevent severe hypoglycaemia or rebound hyperglycaemic episodes6

HbA1c

 

 

REDUCTION OF HbA1c BY 1.0% FOR PATIENTS WITH T1D7
Dexcom CGM System users on a multiple daily injections (MDI) insulin regimen showed an average HbA1c reduction of 1% after 24 weeks of regular use, compared to baseline. Additionally, 52% of subjects in the study had a ≥1% HbA1c reduction.7

 

 

INCREASED TIME IN RANGE8
In a trial where Dexcom G6 powered the Tandem hybrid closed-loop system with Control-IQ, participants with type 1 diabetes increased their time in range (TIR) by 11% for Tandem AID users, allowing average blood glucose levels to stay in range longer.8

Increase TIR

quality of life

 

 

IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY OF LIFE9
In this clinical trial, overall well-being improved during CGM use, treatment satisfaction was higher and hypoglycemia fear decreased in those using CGM.9

  • The Urgent Low Soon (ULS) alert is associated with reduced hypoglycaemia, without a corresponding increase in rebound hyperglycaemia. In fact, severe hyperglycaemia decreased significantly**,§,10 
  • 97% of users enable the ULS alert6
  • Hypoglycaemia remains a significant patient challenge. 95% of T1D patients and 64% of T2D patients experience hypoglycaemia^^,11 
  • Over half report a fear of hypoglycaemia ^^,11
