Dexcom G7 Sensor x1
Dexcom G7 Sensor x1 is a next-generation continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device designed to provide real-time glucose readings without the need for routine finger-prick testing. This all-in-one wearable integrates both the sensor and transmitter into a single compact unit, allowing continuous tracking of glucose levels directly from interstitial fluid beneath the skin.
The device automatically measures and transmits glucose readings to a compatible smartphone or receiver every few minutes, enabling users to monitor trends, patterns, and fluctuations throughout the day and night. This continuous data stream supports more informed diabetes management decisions and helps reduce the risk of hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic events.
Designed for ease of use, the Dexcom G7 features a simplified one-touch applicator and a faster warm-up time compared to previous models. Each sensor is worn on the body (commonly the back of the upper arm) and typically lasts up to 10 days before replacement is required.
Suitable for individuals aged 2 years and older with diabetes, the Dexcom G7 Sensor supports improved glycaemic control and offers a discreet, convenient alternative to traditional blood glucose monitoring methods.
