Cos'è il monitoraggio continuo del glucosio (MCG)?

Continuous glucose monitoring provides a more complete picture of a patient’s glucose levels, compared to what you can obtain from a blood glucose meter (BGM). More frequent access to glucose insights leads to more effective diabetes management, for you and your patients.^1,2

Watch the video below to learn how the Dexcom G6 CGM System can give patients the power of glucose at a glance.

The Difference is in the Data

Some people with diabetes may struggle to understand how diet and exercise play a role in their treatment, or how to effectively titrate insulin accordingly.

But with continuous glucose readings from Dexcom G6, users can see a complete view of their glucose levels in real time, including historic and current glucose values and rate of glucose change, without requiring action from the user providing users with actionable information, over and above a single BGM reading.

Continuous Insight, Day and Night

Dexcom G6 helps minimise the guesswork derived from making diabetes treatment decisions based on a BGM reading alone and requires zero fingersticks* or scanning to access glucose data, helping to empower patients to self-manage their diabetes.

Primary CGM Components

The Dexcom G6 CGM System consists of four main components:

Applicatore automatico

Garantisce un inserimento facile del sensore, premendo semplicemente un pulsante. Il paziente può applicare il sensore in autonomia seguendo le istruzioni per l'uso.

Sensore

Monitora i livelli di glucosio interstiziale attraverso un piccolo filo inserito appena sotto la pelle, inviando un segnale al trasmettitore (durata 10 giorni).

Transmittente

Fissato sopra al sensore; invia i dati in modalità wireless al dispositivo di visualizzazione compatibile del paziente^† (durata 3 mesi).

Dispositivo di visualizzazione

Consente ai pazienti di visualizzare in tempo reale i dati e le tendenze relativi al glucosio. Dexcom G6 inoltre consente ai pazienti di ricevere sul proprio dispositivo di visualizzazione una serie di avvisi, tra cui un allarme predittivo "Urgente calo in arrivo", un allarme "Urgente calo" e altre notifiche,^† che li informano in caso di livelli di glucosio alti o bassi.

The Benefits of CGM for Insulin-Using Patients

Proven outcomes support your patients' progress compared with conventional blood glucose management (BGM).

Ipoglicemia ridotta

L'allarme predittivo Urgente calo in arrivo offerto da Dexcom G6 è associato a una iperglicemia ridotta, senza un corrispondente rischio di iperglicemia.^‡,1

Riduzione dell'HbA1c

L'uso del CGM Dexcom riduce l'HbA1c indipendentemente dal fatto il paziente sia trattato con molteplici iniezioni giornaliere di insulina (MDI) o pompa di insulina.²

Aumento del Time in Range (TIR)

I pazienti che usano il CGM Dexcom solitamente trascorrono più tempo nell'intervallo glicemico ottimale rispetto a quelli che usano il glucometro.^3,4

Miglioramento della qualità della vita

L'uso di Dexcom G6 migliora la qualità della vita e il benessere.^5,6

Long-Term CGM use Supports Long-Term Benefits and Outcomes

A three-year, real-world clinical trial—the longest CGM outcome study to date—reiterates the clinical impact of using rt-CGM Systems like Dexcom CGM. Study participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using a Dexcom rt-CGM System showed significantly reduced HbA1c levels, increased time in range (70-180 mg/dL), and decreased time below range (<55 mg/dL), independent of the insulin delivery method.²

Rt-CGM supports improved diabetes management for your patients in a way that is both accessible and sustainable. Whether your patients are sitting down for a meal, leading a presentation, or getting ready for bed, they can feel more confident in their daily diabetes treatment decisions that help shape the rest of their lives.

Maximise Your In-Person and Remote Appointments

Optimised data sharing and reporting software, like Dexcom CLARITY, allows healthcare professionals to access and review CGM reports that show patterns, trends, and specific data insights for each patient.

Learn more about Dexcom CLARITY and how you can incorporate your patients’ CGM data into your practice, whether you consult your patients in-person or via virtual appointment.
