How is the Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring System different to FGM (Flash Glucose Monitoring) and isCGM (intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitor)?
Dexcom ONE provides the user with a continuous picture of their glucose readings day and night without them having to scan or use finger pricks*. Instead of the scanning required by a flash glucose monitor, glucose measurements are automatically sent wirelessly from the glucose sensor worn by the user to their smart phone/reader†. Alerts on the Dexcom ONE and Dexcom ONE+ system enable the user to be warned of highs/lows to treat their diabetes and make it easier for them to keep their glucose levels within the desired range. This means that users can achieve excellent clinical results** and no longer have to scan or even use finger pricks*. All of the alerts are customisable for the user’s needs and preferences.
* If your glucose alerts and readings from the Dexcom ONE do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
** Dexcom CGM are clinically proven to lower HbA1c and reduce time in hypoglycaemia. Results obtained with prior generations Dexcom CGM System.
