Founded in 1999, Dexcom provides innovative continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems to people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Over the next decade, Dexcom introduced innovation after innovation, continually raising the bar on sensor accuracy and ease of use of the system. As the wearable became smaller and smaller, the software became more and more powerful. Apps such as Share and Follow allowed users to share glucose readings with family, friends and caregivers, while flexible alerts and alarms provide added peace of mind. In recent years, Dexcom has changed the game again and again. In 2018, Dexcom launched the G6 System, the first CGM to eliminate fingersticks for device calibration or diabetes treatment decisions. In 2021, Dexcom launched Dexcom ONE, a simple, affordable and accessible CGM system for people with diabetes outside of the U.S. Next up – the global launch of G7, the next generation of Dexcom CGM.
