Dexcom announced its G7 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system will become available in Canada on October 10 for patients with all types of diabetes aged two and up, pregnant patients included.
The Dexcom G7 CGM was awarded Health Canada approval in July.
“CGM has become the standard of care for diabetes management for good reason,” Dexcom Canada’s VP and GM André Côté told the press. “We strongly believe that Canadians who are now able to access Dexcom G7 CGM will immediately benefit from the improved accuracy and easy-to-adopt user experience, while finding comfort in the trusted technology that Dexcom has pioneered. Our top priority will always be to empower those living with diabetes to make more insightful decisions about food, activity, and treatment in a simple and effective way, and Dexcom G7 allows us to achieve that with more impact than ever before.”
A few weeks ago, Dexcom Canada began a partnership with Canadian company RxFood Corporation to create a better digital health solution for diabetes patients. The resulting diabetes management tool will combine the Dexcom CGM’s glycemic data with the RxFood app, in which users photo-log their foods to create detailed diet quality metrics.
Once G7 becomes available next week, the duo said the combined digital health tool will also become available.
