Dexcom G7<\/span><\/a> is a prescription-only, wearable, continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system that sends instantaneous glucose readings to a smartphone or other receiver every five minutes. It is approved for adults and children two years and older with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and women with gestational diabetes who are at risk of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). The sensor<\/a> is applied to the back of the upper arm, the abdomen, or, for use in children ages two to six years, the upper buttocks, and provides real-time glucose readings for 10 days. With the Dexcom G7 system, the sensor and transmitter are combined. You may also need to purchase a receiver, which displays your blood glucose values, or you can use an app on a compatible smart device, such as a smartphone. The typical cash price, without insurance, of a Dexcom G7 three-pack is $572. There is not a less expensive generic version of Dexcom G7, but there are ways to make CGM systems like the Dexcom G7 system more affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n
