Dexcom G7 15 Day: A win for adult patients with diabetes, regardless of insulin use*,1

Dexcom G7 15 Day: gives your type 2 diabetes patients on insulin more time 
in range using less insulin.2

2.4% reduction in A1C from baseline at 6 months†,3

Why CGM?

 

Dexcom CGM is clinically proven to lower A1C1

Changes in A1C through 1 year

Study design: Real-world study of 74,679 type 2 diabetes adults, including 1375 basal insulin users and 3122 prandial insulin users. A1C values analyzed pre-index, 3, 6, and 12 months post-index, represented as mean ±SEM. Significant improvements in A1C were observed at 3 months and sustained throughout the study period (‡P<.0001).

Key findings in patients with type 2 diabetes on insulin 

Real-world study showed statistically significant A1C reduction at 3 months and sustained at 1 year§,1

CGM was associated with a reduction in hospitalizations and emergency room visits1

CGM decreased A1C across all therapy types (BIT and PIT) regardless of medication changes||,1

Even for patients who meet their A1C goals (<7%), CGM provides 24-hour insights to ensure every glucose excursion can be addressed.

Study design: A 12-month, single-center, open-label randomized controlled trial comparing CGM with BGM in 76 adults with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomized 1:1, with the primary outcome being change in time in range (70-180 mg/dL) from baseline to 12 months, measured by blinded CGM. Secondary outcomes included A1C, insulin dose, weight, and patient-reported outcomes (P<.05).2

Why CGM for patients with type 2 diabetes on insulin? 

American Diabetes Association

ADA guidelines recommend CGM as an option for adult patients with type 2 diabetes whether they use4:

  • Insulin
  • Non-insulin injectable glucose-lowering medications
  • Oral glucose-lowering medications 

ONLY 13%13% of patients with TYPE 2 DIABETES have adopted CGM6

 

CGM reveals dangerous hyper- and hypogylcemic excursions6

Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) doesn’t reveal the full story. CGM provides the complete 24-hour picture to help your patients address spikes or troughs BGM can miss.
