Dexcom and Apple Watch Team Up to Empower Aussies Living with Diabetes
- Australians living with diabetes can now use their Apple Watch to monitor glucose levels and receive alerts through a new integration with the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system
- Dexcom G7 wearers can see their levels in real time on their Apple Watch‡, without carrying a smartphone or receiver†
- The condition is the 21st-century epidemic and the biggest challenge confronting Australia’s healthcare system. Almost 1.9 million Aussies are living with diabetes, and more than 300 people are diagnosed every day, equivalent to one person every five minutes1
DexCom, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXCM), the global leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring for people living with diabetes, today announced that the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System now syncs directly with Apple Watch‡ to make it easier for people to monitor their glucose levels on the go.
Dexcom G7 is Australia’s most connected CGM§, making it seamless for people living with diabetes to manage their glucose levels across various smart devices†, health apps, and insulin delivery devices. It is the only CGM that connects through the internet directly to Apple Watch‡ without the need to have a smartphone† nearby.
The Dexcom G7 is an all-in-one wearable device that warms up faster than any other CGM on the market ||, sending real-time glucose readings automatically to a compatible smart device† or receiver, with no fingerpricks* or manual scanning required. The Apple Watch ‡ integration allows you to receive alerts and check glucose levels in real-time, without the need to carry a smartphone† or receiver.
“The launch of the Dexcom G7 integration with Apple Watch marks an exciting step forward for Aussies living with diabetes,” said Samy Saad, Senior Managing Director, Dexcom Australia and New Zealand. “This milestone with leading smartwatch technology brings greater convenience, discretion, and flexibility to support people in managing their glucose levels.”
Beyond Apple Watch compatibility, the Dexcom G7 connects with certain compatible insulin delivery systems such as the t:slim X2 insulin pump, giving Australians living with diabetes even more peace of mind.
It’s reported that diabetes is a 21st-century epidemic and the biggest challenge confronting Australia’s health system. It is the fastest-growing chronic condition in Australia, outpacing both heart disease and cancer. Currently, almost 1.9 million Australians live with diabetes and more than 300 new cases develop every day, which is equivalent to one person every five minutes.1
