Tens of millions of people with diabetes worldwide are still pricking their fingers needlessly. The Dexcom G6 CGM System is changing that paradigm. This device lets people with diabetes see their glucose and where it’s heading without a painful fingerstick.
The Dexcom G6 CGM system uses a small wearable sensor and transmitter to measure and send real-time glucose values wirelessly to a compatible smart device or receiver.
The device displays trend arrows to show the speed and direction of where glucose levels are heading, making in-the-moment treatment decisions easier and helping people with diabetes avoid potentially dangerous high or low glucose events. This innovation is a game-changer in diabetes management.
Dexcom CGM possesses a simple auto-applicator — a one-touch applicator that easily inserts a small sensor just beneath the skin. The sensor continuously measures glucose levels and sends data to a touch screen receiver or compatible smart device.
