How You Can Try a Dexcom CGM for Free

Diabetes technology, like Dexcom continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), brings more accuracy and freedom to your health management. And getting started is simple, thanks to the Dexcom CGM trial program!

What is a CGM?

A CGM is a small device you wear on your arm or belly that keeps track of your glucose levels around the clock. Unlike a blood glucose meter (BGM) that checks glucose in your blood, a CGM measures glucose in the fluid between your body’s cells.

One of the coolest things about a CGM? No more finger pricks! You can just check your readings using a phone app, handheld monitor, or insulin pump.

The Dexcom G7 CGM also has trend arrows. These show whether your glucose levels are steady, rising, or dropping, so you can act fast to avoid lows (hypoglycemia) or highs (hyperglycemia). Plus, they come with alarms to alert you if your glucose levels go out of range.

CGMs give you and your health team tons of data to make smarter choices about your diabetes care. With these insights, you might see improvements in your A1c and time in range (TIR)!

Other benefits of CGMs include:

• Understanding how your body responds to different foods, exercise, insulin, stress, etc.
• Customizable settings you and your provider can set.
• Instantly share your CGM data with your health care provider and loved ones using the app.
