“the sensor measures your interstitial glucose level, which is the glucose found in the fluid between the cells. The sensor tests glucose every few minutes. A transmitter wirelessly sends the information to a monitor.”
glucose levels, having a continuous glucose monitor that can alert them at certain thresholds when diabetes needs attention is especially critical. Parents of kids using Dexcom CGM Systems can monitor their child’s glucose remotely with the Dexcom Follow app* and get an in-depth view of glucose...
Dexcom adds AI reports to its OTC glucose monitor. Dexcom’sStelo continuous glucose monitor(CGM) for those with Type 2 diabetes isstarting to use generative AIto write weekly reports with “more personalized tips, recommendations, and education related to diet, exercise, and sleep” than the te...
Acontinuous glucose monitoris a wearable device that measures blood glucose levels every five minutes, then reports back the information -- I see mine on my smartphone. CGMs can be as small as two stacked pennies and are applied to the skin using an applicator. The applicator inserts a sensor...
Other important aspects to consider, when measuring the amplitude component of GV is that the hyperglycemic range is much broader than the hypoglycemic range, and that the risk for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia are clinically independent.37 Therefore, a 20 mg/dL decline in blood glucose in the hy...
In 2022,FDA cleared Dexcom G7, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, which allows diabetics to track their blood sugar levels in real-time and doesn’t require a separate receiver. Do you know what unites them all? It’s not only improving the quality of life for patients who pre...
Google and DexCom are hoping that the CGM will become the new standard of care for diabetics, and lead to innovations that will change medical care from being reactive to proactive. This article is commentary by an independent contributor. At the time of publication, the author held no position...
Really the best thing to do is just to install the software updates if you don’t mind doing so. Nonetheless, that’s not always an option. For example, I’m traveling, and I don’t have the time to deal with a software update, the necessary backups, and potential restores from an...
A California company called Dexcom connected a continuous glucose monitor (a device that had been around for more than a decade) wirelessly to a smartphone (or smart watch), allowing the user to read, plot, and share blood sugar levels with anyone, at five-minute intervals, all day long—...
Computational methods have revolutionised the quality and productivity of output in a wide range of industries over the last two decades, but not nearly so much in medicine [7,12,13], where the ability to pay the increasing costs is declining [14]. In ICU medicine, computational physiological...
