Dexcom G7<\/span><\/a> is a prescription <\/span>continuous glucose monitor<\/span> (<\/span>CGM<\/span>) used to test <\/span>blood glucose<\/span> (also known as <\/span>blood sugar<\/span>) in people with diabetes. The maker of Dexcom is phasing out an earlier model called <\/span>Dexcom G6<\/span>. Testing <\/span>blood glucose<\/span> is an important part of <\/span>diabetes<\/span><\/a> management<\/span>. If <\/span>blood glucose<\/span> gets too low (<\/span>hypoglycemic<\/span>) or too high (hyperglycemic), immediate action is usually required to bring the <\/span>level back into range<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional <\/span>blood glucose meters<\/span> (BGMs) use <\/span>fingersticks<\/span> that capture a snapshot of <\/span>glucose levels<\/span>. In contrast, <\/span>continuous glucose monitoring<\/span> gives a complete picture of <\/span>blood sugar<\/span> patterns, allowing <\/span>healthcare providers<\/span> and patients to make informed decisions. <\/span>Dexcom G7<\/span><\/a> works through a <\/span>wearable<\/span> sensor placed on the skin that transmits readings to a small recording device every five minutes. Results can also be directly sent to a <\/span>smart device<\/span> such as a smartphone or smartwatch via the Dexcom app. People may seek an alternative glucose monitor due to cost, ease of use, and <\/span>compatibility<\/span> with mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

What can I use instead of Dexcom?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Other options are available for <\/span>blood glucose monitoring<\/span>. Alternative <\/span>continuous glucose monitoring<\/span> (<\/span>CGM<\/span>) devices include Freestyle Libre, Dexcom <\/span>Stelo<\/span>, and <\/span>Eversense 365<\/span>. Another commonly used <\/span>CGM device<\/span>, <\/span>Guardian Connect<\/span>, will be <\/span>discontinued<\/span><\/a> by <\/span>Medtronic<\/span> in October 2025. <\/span>Blood glucose meter<\/span> (<\/span>fingerstick<\/span>) options include Contour Next One and Freestyle Lite. These options may be more suitable for certain individuals due to cost, convenience, <\/span>insurance coverage<\/span>, and <\/span>functionality<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Dexcom alternatives<\/span><\/h2>\n

The following are some of the most common alternatives to <\/span>Dexcom G7<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Freestyle Libre<\/span><\/h3>\n

Freestyle Libre<\/span><\/a> is a <\/span>continuous glucose monitoring system<\/span> that supplies <\/span>real-time<\/span> blood sugar<\/span> readings without <\/span>fingersticks<\/span>. This alternative is available as two models, <\/span>Freestyle Libre 2<\/span> and <\/span>Freestyle Libre 3<\/span>, which differ in how they test <\/span>blood sugar<\/span>. <\/span>Freestyle Libre 2<\/span> conducts intermittent scanning (also called flash glucose monitoring) that requires scanning the <\/span>CGM sensor<\/span> with either the reader or a compatible smartphone for each retrieval of <\/span>glucose readings<\/span>. <\/span>Freestyle Libre 3<\/span> constantly transmits <\/span>glucose readings<\/span> (every minute) directly to the reader or phone without scanning the sensor. The sensors for each model can be worn for up to 15 days and should be worn on the back of the <\/span>upper arm<\/span>. Like Dexcom, Freestyle Libre has its own app that logs glucose history, contains customizable alarms (specific high and <\/span>low blood glucose<\/span> alerts), and creates reports that can be shared with <\/span>healthcare providers<\/span> to improve decision-making for <\/span>diabetes<\/span><\/a> treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED: <\/b>Dexcom vs. Freestyle Libre: Differences, similarities, and which one is better for you<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

2. <\/span>Eversense 365<\/span><\/h3>\n

Eversense 365<\/span> is a unique <\/span>continuous glucose monitoring system<\/span> that supplies one year of <\/span>real-time<\/span> blood glucose readings<\/span>. <\/span>Continuous glucose monitor<\/span> sensors like <\/span>Dexcom G7<\/span> and Freestyle Libre must be changed every 10 to 15 days, depending on the system. The <\/span>Eversense 365<\/span> sensor is placed under the skin in the <\/span>upper arm<\/span> by a <\/span>healthcare professional<\/span> and replaced once a year. This alternative also has an app that transmits <\/span>CGM readings<\/span> to a smartphone or smartwatch. The <\/span>Eversense<\/span> app provides <\/span>glucose level<\/span> trend reports and alerts for <\/span>high or low <\/span>glucose levels<\/span><\/a>. This alternative may be more convenient as frequent sensor changes are not required.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Dexcom <\/span>Stelo<\/span><\/h3>\n

Also made by Dexcom, <\/span>Dexcom <\/span>Stelo<\/span><\/a> is the first <\/span>over-the-counter<\/span> (<\/span>OTC<\/span>) <\/span>continuous glucose monitoring system<\/span> that does not require a prescription (<\/span>Dexcom G7<\/span> requires a prescription). This alternative is intended for adults who would like to learn more about their glucose health, who are not using <\/span>insulin<\/span><\/a>, have been diagnosed with <\/span>type 2 diabetes<\/span> or <\/span>prediabetes<\/span>, and are not at risk for <\/span>low <\/span>blood sugar<\/span> (<\/span>hypoglycemia<\/span>)<\/span><\/a>. Dexcom <\/span>Stelo<\/span> offers personalized insights into how exercise, food, and sleep affect <\/span>blood glucose levels<\/span>. Viewable on the Dexcom <\/span>Stelo<\/span> app, the monitor can transmit data related to <\/span>blood glucose level<\/span> spikes. The <\/span>Stelo<\/span> sensor can be worn for up to 15 days, with a 12-hour grace period at the end, and should be worn on the back of the <\/span>upper arm<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Freestyle Lite<\/span><\/h3>\n

Freestyle Lite is a traditional <\/span>blood glucose meter<\/span> that uses <\/span>fingersticks<\/span> (also known as <\/span>finger pricks<\/span>). This device uses a drop of blood to check <\/span>blood glucose levels<\/span> at that moment. This alternative only needs a small blood sample (about the size of a pinhead), which often creates a less painful testing experience than other meters. Some people prefer <\/span>fingerstick<\/span> meters as they are familiar and simple to use. <\/span>Fingerstick<\/span> meters like Freestyle Lite are ideal for confirming low or <\/span>high <\/span>blood sugar<\/span><\/a> symptoms with their ability to perform precise, <\/span>real-time<\/span> glucose readings<\/span>. The Freestyle Lite meter offers a variety of benefits, including a compact design for ease of carrying, fast <\/span>glucose data<\/span> provided in seconds, and a backlit screen for convenient day or night use.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Contour Next One<\/span><\/h3>\n

Contour Next One is another traditional <\/span>blood glucose meter<\/span> that uses <\/span>fingersticks<\/span>. An advantage of <\/span>fingerstick<\/span> meters, like Contour Next One, is that they provide precise and immediate readings at a specific moment. When managing diabetes, this immediate <\/span>blood glucose reading<\/span> can be pivotal in certain situations. Since <\/span>fingerstick<\/span> meters have been around for years, they are often more affordable and widely available than <\/span>continuous glucose monitors<\/span>. Contour Next One has <\/span>Bluetooth<\/span> capability with a smartphone app that allows easy tracking and a smartLIGHT feature that gives instant feedback on <\/span>blood glucose readings<\/span> by color coding glucose ranges to help make informed decisions about <\/span>diabetes care<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to switch to a Dexcom alternative<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Do not suddenly stop using Dexcom without <\/span>medical advice<\/span><\/h4>\n

Part of <\/span>diabetes management<\/span> includes understanding normal, low, and high <\/span>blood sugar level<\/span> ranges and being aware of what these levels are in the body. Without a <\/span>blood glucose monitoring<\/span> device, a person with diabetes may be at risk for dangerously low or high <\/span>blood sugar levels<\/span>. Before stopping use of a <\/span>blood glucose monitoring<\/span> device, like <\/span>Dexcom G7<\/span>, discuss with a <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> how to safely discontinue use.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Establish a diabetes treatment plan with a <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span><\/h4>\n

Along with prescription medications and lifestyle modifications, establishing a comprehensive <\/span>diabetes management<\/span> plan with a <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> can help to improve quality of life and prevent serious health complications. A crucial part of <\/span>diabetes management<\/span> is staying within a personalized <\/span>blood sugar<\/span> target range<\/span>. Understanding and discussing all <\/span>blood glucose monitoring<\/span> options with a <\/span>healthcare provider<\/span> can help people find the right fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Learn how to use a new <\/span>blood glucose monitoring<\/span> device<\/span><\/h4>\n

With various <\/span>blood glucose monitoring<\/span> device options available that vary in how they are used and what special features are included, it\u2019s important to learn about a new device. Alternatives like <\/span>Freestyle Libre<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Eversense<\/span><\/a> have instructional videos and <\/span>user guides<\/span> available online.<\/span><\/p>\n
