Better diabetes control with Dexcom G7 CGM System

Written in collaboration with Dexcom

For people with diabetes, controlling glucose levels is a constant challenge. Daily concerns about the disease, having to guess how much insulin to administer, and factors such as diet, activity, and stress can all impact glucose levels.

Fortunately, thanks to the innovation of Dexcom technologies, the all-new Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system can offer an improved and superior experience for people with diabetes.

Dexcom G7 CGM system technology

The Dexcom G7 CGM System enables glucose values to be transmitted to your smart device^† continuously, without the need for routine fingersticks*. Information, such as glucose levels and where they’re headed, is available 24 hours a day, allowing you to make smarter dietary and physical activity decisions in the moment.    

How the Dexcom G7 CGM System works

This unique and innovative system uses a sensor to send your glucose readings in real time to your display device. 

The Dexcom G7 CGM System includes the following components:

1. A sensor with a small wire inserted under your skin
2. An all-in-one sensor applicator
3. A display device, either a compatible smart device† or the Dexcom G7 receiver, to view your results

The sensor takes continuous, real-time readings of your glucose levels.

Measuring glucose levels with the Dexcom G7 CGM System

The Dexcom G7CGM System measures glucose levels through interstitial fluid with unmatched accuracy^‡,1. It enables you to track glucose levels over time. Since you have access to your glucose readings at any time you want via your smart device^†, you can react quickly if your glucose levels are too high or too low. Thanks to the system, you can refocus on achieving your target glucose range, regardless of your day-to-day activities.

The advantages of the Dexcom G7 CGM System for diabetes control

The new Dexcom G7 CGM System offers many advantages, including:

• The most accurate CGM System ^‡,1
• Demonstrated reduction in A1C^2-6
• Alerts before you’re low
• Data transmitted in real time
• Covered by most private insurers and many provincial health insurance programs^§,1 

Enhancements to the new Dexcom G7 CGM System

Switching from the Dexcom G6 System to the Dexcom G7 System has many advantages for users, given the improvements made to the new device. For example^7,8, take advantage of:

• An even smaller sensor (60% smaller than the G6)
• All-in-one sensor and transmitter (separate sensor and transmitter for the G6)
• 30-minute warn up plus auto-start (2-hour start-up for the G6)
• Can be used during pregnancy (not applicable to G6)
• App redesigned to include Dexcom Clarity data
• Delay 1st high (high glucose alert) (not applicable to G6)
• Waterproof, 2.4 meters - Up to 24 hours (the G6 is waterproof)
• And much, much more!

The G6 and G7 sensors can be worn for up to 10 days. What's more, the Dexcom G7 sensor has a grace period of 12 hours, giving you time to change sensors at a time that's right for you. 

Certain conditions apply.

Consult our free guide, Living with diabetes, to learn more about the condition.

* If your glucose alerts and readings from the Dexcom G7 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
