In 2021 it was estimated that 1 in 20 Australians were living with diagnosed diabetes. From 2000 to 2021, the number of people living with diabetes in Australia increased almost 2.8-fold, from 460,000 to 1.3 million. (Data from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.)
Diabetes comes with a raft of risks if not managed properly. Rather than point in time pinprick tests, the newly announced Dexcom ONE+ is wearable technology that helps individuals to confidently manage their glucose levels by sending real-time glucose readings automatically to a compatible smart device or optional receiver, leading to informed treatment decisions and better health outcomes.. There is no finger pricks involved.
“We’re thrilled to offer Dexcom ONE+, a CGM solution that can support people living with Type 2 diabetes. Dexcom is committed to bringing the most up to date glucose management technology to Australians, with Dexcom ONE+ closely following the launch of the Dexcom G7 CGM in September 2024,” said Dr. Samy Saad, senior director, Dexcom Australia.
Dexcom ONE+ builds on the trusted performance of Dexcom CGM, which is clinically proven to lower HbA1c and reduce hyper- and hypoglycaemia. Its customisable alerts can help users spend more time in range, while industry-leading remote monitoring and reporting capabilities also allow users to stay connected with their loved ones and healthcare teams anytime, anywhere for peace of mind.
