*In a retrospective study, diabetes-related hospitalizations reduced 12 months after CGM use: Non-insulin (-31%) basal insulin (-48%) prandial insulin (-53%).1 †Based on commercially available CGMs that have completed clinical trials evaluating accuracy and safety in pregnant patients with diabetes. ‡Studies have demonstrated an association between elevated glucose and increased incidence of cesarean delivery, preeclampsia and birth weight >90th percentile. §Based on a person testing blood glucose 5x a day vs. 288 readings using Dexcom CGM. ||Fingersticks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.4 A study was conducted to assess the sensor life where 73.9% of sensors lasted the full 15 days. In other words, when using the product per the package labeling, approximately 26% of sensors may not last for the full 15 days. #Excludes implantable CGM systems. **Individual pricing may vary depending on commercial insurance coverage.
