Wat is continue glucosemeting (CGM)? | Dexcom Healthcare Professionals

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

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:

Auto-applicator

Eenvoudig inbrengen van de sensor met een druk op de knop. Door het volgen van de gebruiksinstructies kan patiënt de sensor zelf inbrengen.

Sensor

Meet de glucosewaarden van het interstitieel vocht via een klein draadje dat net onder de huid wordt ingebracht en een signaal stuurt naar de zender (levensduur 10 dagen).

Zender

Word boven op de sensor bevestigd; stuurt draadloos gegevens naar het compatibele schermapparaat van de drager^† (levensduur 3 maanden).

Gekoppelde apparaat

Geeft patiënten inzicht in hun real-time glucosegegevens en trends. Via de Dexcom G6 kunnen patiënten op het beeldscherm van het gekoppelde apparaat tevens een reeks meldingen ontvangen, waaronder de waarschuwing Urgent Low Soon, het alarm Urgent Low en andere meldingen;^† de patiënt wordt hiermee gewaarschuwd voor een dreigende hoge of lage glucosewaarde.

The Benefits of CGM for Insulin-Using Patients

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

Minder tijd in hypoglycemie

De waarschuwing Urgent Low Soon waarover de Dexcom G6 beschikt wordt geassocieerd met minder tijd in hypoglycemie, zonder het bijbehorende risico op hyperglycemie.^‡,1

Verlaging in HbA1c

Het gebruik van de Dexcom CGM geeft een lagere HbA1c-waarde, of patiënt nou meerdere malen per dag insuline injecteert (MDI) of een insulinepomp heeft.²

Meer tijd binnen de streefwaarden (TIR)

Bij patiënten die de Dexcom CGM gebruiken zijn de glucosewaarden doorgaans vaker/langer binnen het optimale bereik dan bij gebruik van BGM.^3,4

Betere kwaliteit van leven

Gebruik van de Dexcom G6 verhoogt de kwaliteit van leven en geeft een hoger gevoel van welzijn.^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 (3.9-10.00 mmol/L), and decreased time below range (<3.1 mmol/L), 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.
