DexCom announces new CGM data at EASD

DexCom announced new clinical study outcomes that further demonstrate the benefits of CGM use and offered more details about its expanding portfolio of automated insulin delivery offerings at the 59th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes held Oct. 2-6 in Hamburg, Germany. New results from the COMISAIR seven-year study, the longest prospective real-world CGM study ever conducted, show significant and continued reduction of HbA1c with the use of real-time CGM by people with Type 1 diabetes. Regardless of insulin delivery method, multiple daily injections or insulin pump therapy, real-time CGM has greater and statistically significant HbA1c reduction when compared to self-monitoring blood glucose over seven years. The COMISAIR study also shows further substantial reduction in HbA1c when real-time CGM is connected to an automated insulin delivery system, specifically Tandem Control IQ. In addition, the study showed high CGM adherence over seven years, regardless of insulin delivery method, 88.8% for those using CGM and multiple daily injections and 91.9% for those using CGM and AID. Dexcom announced the Dexcom G7 CGM system will begin launching with the Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump before the end of the year in the U.S. and multiple markets across Europe and Asia-Pacific. This news follows the recent launch of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System connected to Dexcom G6 in the UK and Germany. In addition to the successful results from the COMISAIR study, a new single site study shows use of the Dexcom ONE CGM system by people with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes on intensive or basal insulin leads to significant HbA1c reduction. The Dexcom ONE prospective study shows use of Dexcom ONE in Type 2 subjects reduced HbA1c from 10.1% to 8.5% over three months and further reduced HbA1c to 8.3% at six months. By funding and supporting new studies that explore the efficacy of real-time CGM among those with Type 2 diabetes, Dexcom is working to improve access and expand reimbursement for more people around the world, giving them the tools they need to improve their metabolic health, lead healthier lives and stop disease progression. A new study featured at EASD, shows Dexcom G7 is accurate overall during pregnancy and across all sensor wear days and all glucose ranges for pregnant women with Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes. Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 are now the only commercially available CGM systems with clinical studies demonstrating real-time CGM is accurate when used by people with Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
