While the Apple Watch may not have blood glucose monitoring just yet, Dexcom users can now get real-time glucose readings on the Apple Watch.
In the U.s., there are over 37 million Americans who have diabetes, which is around 11% of the population. Globally, there are about 422 million people who are diabetic. The most common form is Type 2, which represents about 90% to 95% of all diabetes cases. As you can imagine, monitoring blood sugar levels is an important task for many people.
That’s because the Dexcom G7 can now send your real-time blood sugar levels to your Apple Watch, even without your iPhone. This Direct to Apple Watch feature is possible thanks to the dedicated Bluetooth connection on the Dexcom G7 CGM System, which will now send glucose information, as well as personalized alerts, directly to the user’s Apple Watch.
Related “At Dexcom, our users are at the heart of everything we do. Direct to Apple Watch has been one of our most requested features and we’re thrilled to roll it out to Dexcom G7 users in the U.S. and around the world,” said Jake Leach, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Dexcom. “We’ve long believed that people with diabetes should be able to view their CGM data where and how they choose.
