Will G6 products still be shipped to patients?

Yes, G6 will still be available to patients once G7 launches. Some patients should continue using G6 while G7 insurance coverage is expanded, and connectivity with connected insulin pumps is rolled out.

#1 in Accuracy¹: Dexcom G7 has an overall MARD of 8.1% for pediatrics and 8.2% for adults as published in our U.S. pivotal trial data. FreeStyle Libre 3 (L3) is FDA cleared with an overall accuracy of 8.9% for adults and 9.4% for pediatrics as listed in their U.S. User Guide^##.
Less Downtime^**: G7 warms up in just 30 minutes after which you can immediately make insulin dosing decisions.  L3 requires 12 hours before dosing decisions^##, which would make it unable to work with a connected system in the future. Dexcom CGM Systems adherence and persistence is nearly 30% higher with Dexcom over Libre.13

More Reliable: G7 has an automatic predictive low alert to help prevent a low, while L3’s threshold alerts only notify you the minute after you went low^##.
Medicare Support: RT-CGM is recommended for older adults, per ADA¹¹ and AACE¹² guidelines, and G6 and G7 both fulfill Medicare requirements.  L3, Abbott’s only RT-CGM, does not fulfill Medicare requirements due to the lack of a dedicated receiver.
Most Proven Outcomes: Dexcom generates the most amount of clinical data and has been evaluated in a greater number of studies¹ – over 300 clinical trials – on the value and benefit of CGM across the spectrum of diabetes states and methodologies to remain focused on measuring and driving the best outcomes.
Proven Connectivity Platform: Dexcom G7 is already part of Dexcom’s industry leading connected CGM ecosystem¹ to allow patients to manage their diabetes with the insulin and lifestyle hardware and software that works best for them.  With 4 years of proven connectivity and a saleable real-time API, Dexcom is the only CGM brand to offer AID and have a larger connectivity platform. L3 explicitly has an AID contraindication.^##
Overall Patient Experience: Dexcom is the #1 most recommended CGM brand by both patients and HCPs 6, #1 in patient retention7, and #1 in patient satisfaction^§§. Libre users switch to Dexcom 3x more frequently than Dexcom users switch to Libre⁸.

By submitting the above form, I certify that I am a licensed practitioner, authorized to receive and dispense samples of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and/or Dexcom‘s next generation product, Dexcom G7 (the "Samples"). I represent that I am requesting the Samples for evaluation purposes and that I will not (i) sell, resell, barter, return for credit or seek reimbursement for the use of the Samples, or (ii) for professional services for dispensing or evaluating the Samples, I also agree to inform my patients that they should not submit claims for reimbursement to any third party for any Samples.

The Samples are FDA cleared for use with a compatible smart device or separate piece of durable medical equipment called a receiver. Neither devices nor receivers are included in the Samples. Accordingly, and in light of the applicable G6 or G7 Dexcom Instructions for Use, you should dispense Samples only to a patient who (or whose authorized caregiver), in the exercise of your clinical judgment, (i) has reliable access to a compatible smart device and/or automated insulin delivery system, and (ii) is capable of safely using the Samples with their smart device, without the need for a separate dedicated receiver.

Please note that Medicare will reimburse for sensors only if the beneficiary also uses a receiver covered by Medicare. Accordingly, it is appropriate to give Samples to Medicare patients only if they have (in the case of the G6 Samples) or would be eligible to obtain (in the case of the G7 Samples), a Medicare-covered receiver.

You agree that you will not provide the Samples to any patients that are beneficiaries under the Maine or Colorado state Medicaid programs. I understand that Dexcom will be tracking, and if necessary, reporting and may be subject to disclosure requirements with respect to the provision of these Samples. I agree not to reuse any Samples.
