More on the Dexcom G7 15 Day
Dexcom G7 15 Day is the longest-lasting and most accurate CGM system authorized by Health Canada, offering real-time glucose readings for up to 15.5 days on a single sensor. Designed to simplify diabetes management, the system builds on the proven clinical performance of the Dexcom CGM, which has been shown to lower A1C levels and increase time in range.
The extended wear duration reduces the number of monthly sensor replacements, making glucose monitoring more convenient while also generating less waste. With an overall mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of 8.0%, the device delivers best-in-class accuracy to support informed treatment decisions.
The Dexcom G7 15 Day also includes several advanced features to improve the user experience. It is waterproof, supports direct connectivity with the Apple Watch and offers a 12-hour grace period to ensure a seamless transition between sensors.
Users can monitor glucose patterns, trends and statistics through the Dexcom mobile app with integrated Dexcom Clarity analytics, while customizable alerts enable personalized diabetes management. The system also allows users to securely share glucose data with caregivers and loved ones, providing additional support and peace of mind.
With more than four million Canadians living with diabetes, the authorization is expected to support wider access to advanced glucose monitoring technology once the product becomes commercially available.
