Dexcom

Dexcom Inc was founded in 1999 and has become a leader in providing Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology, transforming the care and management of diabetes, and helping healthcare professionals and patients better manage the condition.

They focus on providing improved outcomes for clinicians, caregivers, and patients by delivering actionable and innovative solutions.

Currently available in over 40 countries, Dexcom proudly offers a product platform that includes data tools, software, mobile apps, wireless technology, and wearable sensor technology.

Dexcom adheres to four core values: Listen, Serve with Integrity, Thing Big, and Be Dependable. These values have helped this medical device provider expand its presence globally. The company seeks to empower communities to take the driver’s seat in controlling diabetes.

The company has opened a new, Philippines-based site known as Manila Global Business Services (GBS) to support its speedy growth and to offer improved service to its ever-growing base of patients. The Manila GBS is staffed with well-trained, talented team members who support the world-wide platform to increase Dexcom’s reach and proficiency in financial services, customer advocacy, and technical support.

This company offers an array of products that work together to create an integrated system for diabetes management. These products include the following:

• The Dexcom G6 CGM System
• CLARITY Reporting Software
• Mobile and Smart Watch Apps
• A Follow App for Friends and Family
• CARE Diabetes Coaching
• 24/7 Global Technical Support

Working in tandem, these products provide patients with the ability to take absolute control of managing Type 2 diabetes. The system requires no blood testing, so finger sticks are eliminated. 

The app-based components of their system provide customizable alerts and alarms and allow patients to share their glucose data with up to ten followers.

Dexcom’s pricing

The Dexcom G6 CGM System costs approximately $400 for the receiver, $300 for one transmitter, and $420 for a 30-day supply of sensors.

Medicare covers some costs for qualified patients, as do some health insurance plans.

Unlike traditional Blood Glucose Meters (BGM), Dexcom’s G6 CGM System eliminates the need for finger sticks and offers the ability to monitor glucose numbers and trends in real-time. Tests have shown this type of system is the most effective at reducing A1C over time, with Type 1 patients seeing an average reduction of 1.3%.

This system also can also reduce time spent in hypoglycemia.

The Dexcom G6 CGM System also provides night monitoring with alerts that can warn patients of approaching low levels.
