Continuous glucose monitoring provides a more complete picture of a patient’s 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 your patients.1,2

Watch the video below to learn how the Dexcom G6 CGM System can give patients the power of glucose at a glance.
The Difference is in the Data
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 G6, users can see a complete view of their glucose levels in real time, including historic and current glucose values and rate of glucose change, without requiring action from the user providing users with actionable information, over and above a single BGM reading.
Continuous Insight, Day and Night
Dexcom G6 helps minimise the guesswork derived from making diabetes treatment decisions based on a BGM reading alone and requires zero fingersticks* or scanning to access glucose data, helping to empower patients to self-manage their diabetes.
Primary CGM Components
The Dexcom G6 CGM System consists of four main components:
Automaattinen asetin
Sensorin asettaminen on yksinkertaista ja tapahtuu painiketta painamalla. Potilas voi asettaa sensorin itse noudattamalla käyttöohjeita.
Sensori
Seuraa interstitiaalisia glukoositasoja ohuesti ihon alle asetetun pienen langan kautta, joka lähettää signaalin lähettimeen (10 päivän käyttöikä).
Lähetin
Kiinnitetty sensorin päälle; lähettää tiedot langattomasti käyttäjän yhteensopivaan näyttölaitteeseen† (kolmen kuukauden käyttöikä).
Näyttölaite
Potilaat voivat tarkastella reaaliaikaisia glukoositietoja ja trendejä. Dexcom G6 antaa potilaille myös mahdollisuuden vastaanottaa erilaisia hälytyksiä, mukaan lukien ennakoivan Kiireellinen pian alhainen -hälytyksen, Kiireellinen alhainen -hälytyksen ja muut näyttölaitteessa† näkyvät ilmoitukset, jotka myös voivat auttaa varoittamaan potilaita korkeista tai alhaisista glukoositasoista.
The Benefits of CGM for Insulin-Using Patients
Proven outcomes support your patients' progress compared with conventional blood glucose management (BGM).
Vähentynyt hypoglykemia
Dexcom G6 antama ennakoiva Kiireellinen kohta alhainen -hälytys liittyy vähentyneeseen hypoglykemiaan ilman vastaavaa hyperglykemian riskiä.‡,1
HbA1c:n laskeminen
Dexcomin jatkuvan glukoosinseurannan käyttö vähentää HbA1c:tä riippumatta siitä, käytetäänkö monipistohoitoa (MDI) vai pumppuinsuliinia.2
Pidempi aika tavoitealueella (TIR)
Dexcomin jatkuvaa glukoosinseurantaa käyttävät potilaat ovat tavallisesti enemmän optimaalisella glykeemisellä alueella kuin potilaat, jotka käyttävät verenglukoosimittaria.3,4
Elämänlaadun paraneminen
Dexcom G6 käyttö parantaa elämänlaatua ja hyvinvointia.5,6
Long-Term CGM use Supports Long-Term Benefits and Outcomes
A three-year, real-world clinical trial—the longest CGM outcome study to date—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.2
Rt-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.
Maximise Your In-Person and Remote Appointments
Optimised data sharing and reporting software, like Dexcom CLARITY, allows healthcare professionals to access and review CGM reports that show patterns, trends, and specific data insights for each patient.
Learn more about Dexcom CLARITY and how you can incorporate your patients’ CGM data into your practice, whether you consult your patients in-person or via virtual appointment.
*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.

‡This predictive alert can be triggered with impending hypoglycaemia (glucose of 3.1 mmol/L or below is predicted to occur within the next 20 minutes).
§ Register for Dexcom CLARITY at clarity.dexcom.com/professional/registration.
|| An internet connection is required for patients to send their glucose data to Dexcom CLARITY via a compatible smart device: dexcom.com/compatibility
¶ Healthcare Professionals will only be able to view a patient’s glucose data if the patient elects to share it with them through Dexcom CLARITY.
