A family Warrior story
The Ratemo Family
When Kaleb was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 4, life was difficult for him and his parents. Kaleb’s fear of fingersticks meant his parents weren’t always able to see his glucose levels or know how much insulin to administer. Real-time continuous glucose monitoring with Dexcom G6 changed Kaleb’s diabetes management for the better – without fingersticks†. When Kaleb’s little brother, Micah, was also diagnosed, Kaleb and his parents knew right away how to help.
†Fingersticks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.

Mark Andrews
Dexcom Warrior and professional football player Mark Andrews and his family share their story of how they used the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System to help address an urgent low together as a family. Mark uses the Dexcom G6 to help manage his diabetes, but as he says, “there are no perfect days.” With the Dexcom Share* function and the Dexcom Follow App, Mark’s family was able to see he was experiencing a low and take action to get him the help he needed.
