Hvad er kontinuerlig glukosemåling (CGM)?

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

slot 3

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-applikator

Auto-applikator

Giver enkel indsættelse af sensoren med et tryk på en knap. En patient kan selv indføre sensoren ved at følge brugsanvisningen. 

Sensor

Sensor

Overvåger interstitielle glukoseniveauer ved hjælp af en lille tråd, der indsættes lige under huden, og som sender et signal til senderen (brugstid på 10 dage). 

Sender

Sender

Den fastgøres på toppen af sensoren; sender data trådløst til patientens skærmenhed (brugstid på 3 måneder). 

Skærmenhed

Skærmenhed

Giver patienterne mulighed for at se deres glukosedata og tendenser i realtid. Dexcom G6 giver også patienterne mulighed for at modtage en række adviseringer, herunder en prædiktiv "Snart Akut Lav"-alarm, en "Akut Lav"-alarm og andre meddelelser på deres skærmenhed, som kan hjælpe med at advare dem om høje eller lave glukoseniveauer. 

The Benefits of CGM for Insulin-Using Patients  

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

Nedsat hypoglykæmi

Nedsat hypoglykæmi

Den prædiktive "Akut Lav Snart"-alarm, som Dexcom G6 tilbyder, er forbundet med reduceret hypoglykæmi, uden en tilsvarende risiko for hyperglykæmi.‡,1 

HbA1c-reduktion

HbA1c-reduktion

Brugen af Dexcom CGM reducerer HbA1c, uanset om man bruger flere daglige injektioner (MDI) eller pumpebehandling.

Øget tid inden for målområdet (TIR)

Øget tid inden for målområdet (TIR)

Patienter, der bruger Dexcom CGM, tilbringer typisk mere tid i det optimale glykæmiske område end patienter, der bruger BGM.3,4 

Forbedret livskvalitet

Forbedret livskvalitet

Brugen af Dexcom G6 forbedrer livskvalitet og velvære.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.
