Abstract

The Dexcom Community Glucose Monitoring Project is a collaborative, ongoing, primary care-driven public health initiative designed to provide continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems to adults with type 2 diabetes who lack health insurance coverage for CGM. After 6 months of program participation, mean A1C decreased by 2.4 ± 1.9% from baseline to 6-month follow-up (from 9.4 ± 1.7 to 7.1 ± 1.2%, P <0.001). There was a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in CGM metrics as well. Greater CGM use in the primary care setting among people with type 2 diabetes may help patients successfully manage their diabetes.

Grants and funding

Dexcom, Inc., provided study funding and CGM systems at no cost, funded the analysis, and paid for the article processing charges.
