Dexcom G6 CGM System remotely monitors glucose levels during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dexcom G6 uses a small, wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously measure and send glucose levels wirelessly to a smart device or receiver, giving patients real-time glucose data without the need for a fingerprick. Dexcom’s unique technology also gives patients the ability to share their glucose readings with up to 5 followers.
Health Canada temporarily authorized the Dexcom G6 system for expanded use in hospitals, to help remotely monitor those who are critically ill during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will reduce caregiver interactions and exposure to COVID-19 in the hospital setting and help to preserve personal protective equipment.
