The Life Changer

I am really thrilled about this. I have been out of control for a while, but this has me feeling hopeful about my diabetes for the first time in a long time! I'm ready!! Thank you!!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

I love the [Dexcom System] meter. I have been able to maintain the best blood sugars of my diabetic life because I can see trends and take corrective action preemptively. I think this is a wonderful invention and I am delighted to be using it.

— Robert in Texas

I was having trouble regulating my blood sugars even with testing my blood 8–10 times a day including 3 a.m. every morning, and my HbA1c was 8.9. My doctor suggested I give it [the Dexcom System] a try. I purchased the system and have been using it for the past 6 weeks. I went back to my doctor for a follow up and my HbA1c is now 7.5!! In just 6 weeks!! My doctor could not believe it. She said it was nothing short of a miracle!! I knew that I was improving my control over these few weeks but had no idea how much of an effect it actually had... I was starting to lose hope that I could achieve and maintain that level long term. With the DexCom system, I am so confident that this will happen for me now and I am so grateful that I was given this opportunity. I encourage everyone to find out how they can also take advantage of this valuable tool to help you achieve greater control with your glucose level and feel hopeful about your future!!

The Busy Professional

In the first 14 days, I have challenged it [the DexCom System] by working full time, spending a week on the road traveling for work, eating at restaurants, and living alone in a hotel — which is a great environment to stress any Type I's management skills. I have exercised heavily in that I have been to the gym on numerous occasions and worked weights, and a treadmill. I have also played two rounds of golf. My first impressions are very favorable in that I have no discomfort whatsoever, from the device on my abdomen, which was my single apprehension.

The Athlete

I'm a 54-year old triathlete who runs, bikes and swims with his [Dexcom System]. I've had my DexCom for a month now, and it has literally opened up a new world for me. I have more energy than I've ever had. There are many things I can do now, or do more aggressively than ever before. Despite hard use (runs in 100 degree heat, swimming in the ocean, 3 showers a day), [the DexCom System] keeps going and lets me keep going... all the old approaches to managing diabetes based on raw, isolated BS measurements are now obsolete. Thanks so much for what you're doing. You're working on a product that is dramatically improving people's lives, and I can't thank you enough.

The Concerned Spouse/Family Member

Just wanted to thank you for getting me set up with the DexCom system yesterday. My wife has already mentioned how much "safer" she feels with the automatic monitoring for hypoglycemia — especially at night. Over the years, she's had her share of scares due to my various hypoglycemic experiences.

— Bill in Michigan

My son who is a 22-year-old college student had a DexCom sensor placed on his abdomen. He watched his glucose rise with dinner, drop with his Novolog^® pen dose, rise with his evening snack and level off with his night time Lantus^® dose. He already knows that he needs to give Novolog right as the meal starts, and not wait until the coffee is served. He had no problem correlating the DexCom reading to his finger sticks with the OneTouch® Ultra. And the best part of all, my husband and I slept well knowing that the alarm for hypoglycemia would wake us all during the night. Thanks to DexCom for this great new technology.

The Trend Tracker

This product has been a life saver! I have been amazed on how accurate it is and its' ability to alert me in advance of a trending up or down. There is a lot of information I have learned on how my body reacts to certain foods. I think anyone who is diabetic, should have one of these... the [Dexcom System] takes all this into account and gives you a more accurate trending and level. You do have to calibrate twice a day. But, the information you get from the DexCom will help a diabetic lower the A1C and manage diabetes better. I hope this helps anyone that is on the fence and thinking about it.

— Greg in Texas

I honestly think DexCom's CGM Technology should be the first line treatment for anyone with brittle/out of control diabetes or anyone without much rhythm or pattern in their life (or really anyone who has diabetes!). I love this thing. The accuracy has been good, but even if the numbers aren't always dead on, the trend lines (knowing if sugars are peaking or troughing — accelerating or decelerating) is incredibly relevant and helpful. I feel like I finally understand these things and see the data as so useful. I'm sure there will be a noticeable improvement in my next A1C and the hypoglycemia has been limited as well.
