A leader in diabetes care
Dexcom is dedicated to developing innovative glucose monitoring technology and products to help patients and healthcare providers better manage diabetes.
As the world's first real-time, integrated CGM (iCGM), the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System offers a range of features and benefits that help make that possible.
1st mobile CGM system
1st CGM system indicated for non-adjunctive use (insulin dosing without fingersticks*)
1st therapeutic CGM system covered by Medicare
1st integrated CGM (iCGM)--an FDA designation based on rigorous performance standards
*If your glucose alerts and readings from Dexcom G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
Redefining the CGM landscape
Dexcom wrote the next chapter in CGM technology with the development of Dexcom G6: a zero-fingersticks, integrated CGM system that's the preferred choice of endocrinologists.*,†
Supports improved diabetes management
Get the Most Out of Patient Visits at the Clinic
If a patient consents to share their glucose data, healthcare providers may be able to access the patient's CGM reports that show their glucose patterns, trends, and statistics. Learn more about Dexcom Clarity and how you can incorporate the software into your practice, for optimized patient conversations during your in-person or telehealth appointments.||,¶
Widespread Coverage
Dexcom CGM is covered as a medical benefit for 98% of commercial insurance plan holders who have type 1 diabetes, and a growing number of plans cover CGM for insulin-using type 2 diabetes patients. For people whose plans cover CGM as a pharmacy benefit, their Dexcom CGM prescription may be processed at local retail pharmacies. Dexcom CGM is covered by Medicare - the first mobile-enabled, therapeutic CGM to achieve Medicare coverage, and by Medicaid.
