Silver IDEA: Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring system
The G6 from Dexcom (NSDQ:DXCM) goes beyond the snapshot-in-time readings that traditional glucose meters provide, continuously tracking glucose levels so that people with Type 1 diabetes can spot trends and patterns. The G6 boasts a tiny, flexible sensor that’s placed just under the skin; it’s able to take a glucose reading every 5 minutes for up to 10 days. A small reusable transmitter shares the glucose readings wirelessly, which a person can acess through an accompanying handheld reader or on their smartphone using an app.
