The Dexcom G6 Contnuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system has a predictive Urgent Low Soon alert that can warn when blood glucose levels will drop below 3.1 mmol/L within 20 minutes, prompting patients to take action before it’s too late.
The alert is associated with a significant reduction in hypoglycaemia without a corresponding rebound hyperglycaemia. 1,2
Dexcom real-time CGM offers THREE ALERTS to help patients prevent hypoglycaemia.
In addition to the standard High/Low Glucose alerts, Dexcom offers a further two – the Urgent Low Alarm and the predicitive Urgent Low Soon alert, allowing your patients to take action without the need for fingerstick* or scan.
Your patients deserve the #DexcomDifference.
Dexcom is suitable for anyone with type 1 diabetes over the age of 2, including pregnant patients.
It can be worn regardless of whether the patient uses a pump or is on multiple daily injections.
