Diabetes Monitoring That Feels Straight Out of a Comic Book
When you’re living with diabetes, foods high in sugar and carbohydrates can feel like your kryptonite. Using a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor can help you feel superhuman again. And as part of your refined carb-fighting team, SFCHC provides them to our patients with diabetes.
An Important Tool in Your Utility Belt
The Dexcom G7 can be used by anyone over two years old who has type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. This wearable sensor monitors your glucose levels and sends real-time readings to your smart device or a dedicated receiver. It’s like having a digital assistant at your side! Knowing your glucose levels helps because spending more time in a healthy range directly lowers your A1C.
The sensor adapts to your life: it warms up in only thirty minutes, twice as fast as any other CGM. The system allows twelve hours to replace a run-down sensor before losing data, so you never have to interrupt what you’re doing.
The Costume Under Your Clothes
Wearing the Dexcom G7 is like wearing a band-aid, as it’s 60% smaller than monitors that came before it. It’s applied to the back of your upper arm, where it monitors your glucose with no finger sticks. You can wear it discreetly under sleeves and participate in any activity. Most patients forget they’re wearing it!
Spider Sense Included
This CGM doesn’t just tell you when your glucose is too high. It can also alert you twenty minutes before it’s too low. These alerts are completely customizable. Your provider can help you set a healthy range, and you can set alerts that are only noticeable to you.
Once connected to the Dexcom app, your device tracks your glucose to predict the future – of your A1C. Knowing your current glucose levels and where they’re going helps you make smarter decisions about diet and exercise. Dexcom G7 gives you the power to see your diabetes in multiple possible timelines.
Empowers the Mild-Mannered
You don’t need an alternate identity as a billionaire to afford this tech:
Dexcom is usually covered by Medi-Cal and most private insurance plans for patients who take insulin.
The G7 is the preferred CGM of Medicare programs.
SFCHC is always happy to help you find a solution – most uninsured patients pay only $20 per month or less.
As always, SFCHC has your back as you avenge your struggle with diabetes. Use the Follow app to share your glucose levels with up to ten people, including your providers, friends, and family. Technology that tracks your health and connects you to support is a secret weapon that helps you feel invincible.
