Proven Outcomes

A wide body of evidence substantiates the efficacy of Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems for insulin-using patients with type 1 diabetes. Dexcom CGM use can help patients meet their HbA1c and Time in Range (TIR) targets, and achieve sustained glycaemic control.1,2,4

Reduction of HbA1c by 1.0% for Patients with T1D*,1

Dexcom CGM System users on a multiple daily injections (MDI) insulin regimen showed an average A1C reduction of 1% after 24 weeks of regular use, compared to baseline. Additionally, 52% of subjects in the study had a ≥1% A1C reduction.1

Increased Time in Range

In a recent clinical trial, rt-CGM helped patients increase the amount of time in range (TIR) by an average of nearly five hours per day, independent of insulin delivery method. 

In a trial where Dexcom G6 powered the Tandem hybrid closed-loop system with Control-IQ, participants with T1D increased their time in range (TIR) by an average of 2+ hours per day.

Reduction in Hypoglycaemia

Hypoglycaemia presents a significant risk to the health and safety of your patients. Not only can Dexcom CGM use reduce A1C, but numerous studies have also shown it can also decrease time spent in hypoglycaemia.1,4-8

Patients Show Sustained HbA1c Reduction with Long-Term Real-Time CGM (rt-CGM) Use 

A three-year, real-world clinical trial—the longest CGM outcome study to-date—reiterates the clinical impact of using real-time CGM (rt-CGM) systems like Dexcom G6. 

Study participants with T1D using rt-CGM showed significantly reduced A1C levels, increased TIR (3.9-10.0 mmol/L), and decreased time below range (<3.9 mmol/L), independent of insulin delivery method.2

Reduction in time spent in hyperglycaemia

Patients using Dexcom G6, as part of a hybrid closed-loop system, reduced time in hyperglycemia by an average of 2.4 hours per day compared with those using sensor-augmented pump therapy.9
