SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dexcom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), the global leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people living with diabetes, announced today its strategy to bring Dexcom glucose sensing technology to millions more people around the globe and new Dexcom CGM research featured at the 83rd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association being held June 23-26 in San Diego.
During Dexcom’s Investor Day event held earlier today the company revealed plans to bring a new product to market in the U.S. in 2024, designed specifically for people who don’t use insulin (which is about 70% of Americans living with diabetes).* The product, which will feature a 15-day sensor and include a cash-pay option, will also offer a new software experience tailored for people not on insulin.
“Dexcom is building a world in which our care for users includes not only helping them in the management of chronic conditions, but the potential to help prevent the onset and progression of disease through better metabolic health,” said Kevin Sayer, chairman, president and CEO of Dexcom. “There is so much that people who don’t use insulin can learn by receiving continuous glucose data and seeing first-hand how diet, exercise, sleep, stress and other factors affect their overall health.”
Additionally, new projections following the expansion of Medicare CGM coverage in April show that 3-4 million people in the U.S. have a history of problematic hypoglycemia,* and many of them are now covered for CGM through Medicare’s expanded policy.† In addition, commercial insurers in the U.S. are following Medicare’s lead to cover CGM for people living with Type 2 diabetes on basal insulin faster than expected, with 60% commercial coverage for this population already in place.1 This important group of people with Type 2 diabetes can now more easily access Dexcom G7, the most accurate CGM system,2 which 96% of users say is easy to use.2
“Thanks to our efforts to continually expand coverage, millions more people now have access to Dexcom CGM and our industry-leading features such as connectivity to multiple automated insulin delivery systems, the Urgent Low Soon alert, and Follow—Dexcom-pioneered features that help keep users safe by helping them avoid extreme glucose fluctuations and stay within target range,” said Teri Lawver, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Dexcom.
As diabetes becomes increasingly prevalent, it’s more important than ever for people with all types of diabetes around the world to have better access to the #1 recommended CGM brand.4,5 Dexcom G7 has now launched in 14 countries across five continents, and the recent launch of Dexcom ONE in Argentina marks Dexcom’s first entrance into Latin America.
This weekend during the 83rd Scientific Sessions of ADA, Dexcom will be prominently featured in key symposia, posters and presentations that demonstrate the positive impact of Dexcom CGM on health outcomes and cost savings. Highlights of these exhibitions include:
