Can you use Dexcom for type 2 diabetes?
Yes, all people (aged 2 years and older) with type 2 diabetes could benefit from using a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. It offers real-time glucose levels at a glance, trending diabetes data and alerts to help you proactively manage your diabetes, all with zero finger pricks* or scanning. Dexcom CGM may be particularly helpful if you1:
- Are not at your HbA1C goal
- Have hypoglycaemia unawareness
- Have excessive glycaemic variability
- Have fear of hypoglycaemia
According to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) real-time CGM can be considered an alternative to intermittent scanning (isCGM) for people with type 2 diabe-tes.2
