Dexcom’s Continuous Glucose Monitoring System enables virtual care, keeping Canadian diabetes patients healthy and out of hospital
Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System uses a small, wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously measure and send glucose levels wirelessly to a smart device or receiver, giving patients readings every five minutes without the need for fingersticks. The device sounds an alarm if levels are too high or too low, both of which can mean life or death for a person living with diabetes. Dexcom’s unique technology also gives patients the ability to share their glucose readings with up to five followers. Dexcom users can connect their personal Dexcom app with their health care provider’s virtual Dexcom clinic account. This enables health care providers to virtually access the patient’s glucose readings and patterns, and engage accordingly, which is of paramount importance to health care practitioners in today’s circumstances.
Dexcom offers a software solution called CLARITY that allows healthcare providers to have ongoing visibility into their patients’ data which enables them to evaluate patients' glucose patterns, analyze data and diabetes management plans remotely. This software helps to facilitate better conversations about a patient’s glucose insights and makes it easy to deliver care virtually and to provide a fuller picture of the patient’s blood sugar levels over time.
Self-monitoring for diabetes management using this innovative sensor-based technology and data sharing capabilities is an efficient solution to deliver care virtually. Dexcom G6 represents a new and innovative solution to help Canadian diabetes patients proactively manage glucose highs and lows, potentially reducing diabetes-related complications and unnecessary hospital admissions.
