Offer patients an easier way to manage type 1 or type 2 diabetes

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) allows real-time tracking of glucose levels using a small sensor that measures glucose regularly throughout the day and night. The sensor sends data via Bluetooth to a display device, providing current glucose values along with arrows indicating the direction and speed of glucose changes. This continuous data aids in proactively managing glucose levels, offering insights into the impact of factors like meals, exercise, and insulin on glucose fluctuations.

UPDATE: CGM FUNDING

On the 29th August 2024, Pharmac announced that they have made the decision to fund Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems (CGMs). All relevant prescribers who care for people living with type 1 diabetes and other specific diabetes similar to type 1 diabetes will be able to apply for initial and renewal applications.
For more information on Pharmac’s decision, what you need to know to get started, and resources for healthcare professionals, visit https://pharmac.govt.nz/news-and-resources/cgms-and-insulin-pumps.

A more complete picture of glucose levels than blood glucose monitoring (BGM)

Dexcom offers a range of different CGMs depending on your patient's requirements. Our most advanced Dexcom G7 system has an Urgent alarm at 3.1 mmol/L or an Urgent Low Soon (ULS) alert so patients can be warned up to 20 minutes before a hypoglycaemic event.
Blood Glucose Meter

Blood Glucose Meter

Provides a snapshot at a specific moment, obtained through fingerpricks, lacking alarms for potential highs or lows and without indicating the trend of glucose levels.
Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous readings in real-time with no routine fingerpricks* needed. See where your patient's glucose is, where it’s heading, and how quickly it’s changing.
*If glucose alerts and readings from the Dexcom G7 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
