Will using a Dexcom CGM system change my diabetes management routine?
If you’re already familiar with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, Dexcom rtCGM may or may not notably affect your day-to-day routine. If you've never used a CGM system, you can benefit from the significant advantages that the Dexcom rtCGM offers compared to other glucose monitoring methods, like fingersticks with blood glucose meters.*
Some benefits of using a Dexcom CGM system are:
- Knowing where your glucose was and where it is going
- Getting immediate feedback on your lifestyle decisions
- Making treatment decisions using your Dexcom CGM
- Decreasing the pain and hassle from frequent blood glucose testing, sparing the fingertips*
*If your glucose alerts and readings from Dexcom CGM do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. For more information, please check out our product-specific FAQs:
