Dexcom success stories
Have been using my Dexcom a little less than 4 months now. For the past 19 years, my average A1C has been 5.8, ranging from a low of 5.6 to a high of 6.3. I downloaded the Dexcom data and it predicted an A1C of 5.8 with only 1% of readings in the hypo range and 5% being low (55-70). I feel like the Dexcom has allowed me to have tighter control without as many lows and highs. I had my blood drawn for A1C test earlier this week and much to my delight, my A1C was 5.2! My best ever and no bad hypos either. Time will tell if this will continue, but I'm convinced the CGM made the difference. Very happy today!

Holy cripes -- great tight control, Stage! I don't think I could do that.

Just to keep it real....my bg was running way high on Easter. Diabetes likes to give those unfriendly reminders at times!

That's awesome! Congrats.. I'm looking for the same kind of thing with my new Dex. Got it a few weeks ago.

October 2012 A1C is 5.3. The Dexcom has really been a great tool that has helped me better manage my diabetes. I still have to be very proactive but the Dexcom gives me a greater level of control than I've had since diagnosis.
