We are incredibly proud of the diabetes community and are working hard to make it easier for them to access the best technology possible to manage their diabetes. As a next step, we will be working closely with healthcare professionals to ensure people can benefit as quickly as possible from wider availability of Dexcom CGM system.”

With Dexcom ONE on prescription, more people will have access to potentially life-changing CGM technology, leading to better health outcomes and more choice for people with diabetes.”
