What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring?

Real-time continuous glucose monitoring provides a more complete picture of glucose levels, compared to what you can obtain from a blood glucose meter (BGM). More frequent access to glucose insights leads to more effective diabetes management, for you and people with diabetes in your care.1,2

The Difference is clear

Dexcom G7 Phone

Some people with diabetes may struggle to understand how diet and exercise play a role in their treatment, or how to effectively titrate insulin accordingly.
 
But with continuous glucose readings from Dexcom real-time CGM, users can see a complete view of their glucose levels in real time, including historic and current glucose values and rate of glucose change.

Continuous Insight, Day and Night  

 

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves hbA1c and reduces hypoglycaemia regardless of age, sex, and insulin delivery methods in patients with type 1 diabetes3

Dexcom G7 is the only system that enables customers to seamlessly integrate and simultaneously view data on both the Dexcom G7 app and the t:slim X2 insulin pump

Long-Term CGM Use Supports Long-Term Benefits and Outcomes

A three-year, real-world clinical trial reiterates the clinical impact of using rt-CGM Systems like Dexcom CGM. Study participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using a Dexcom rt-CGM System showed significantly reduced HbA1c levels, increased time in range (3.9-10.00 mmol/L), and decreased time below range (<3.1 mmol/L), independent of the insulin delivery method (Insulin Pump or Multiple Daily Injections).3

Real-time CGM supports improved diabetes management for your patients in a way that is both accessible and sustainable. Whether your patients are sitting down for a meal, leading a presentation, or getting ready for bed, they can feel more confident in their daily diabetes treatment decisions that help shape the rest of their lives.
