Longitudinal analysis of users transitioning from the Dexcom G5 to the G6 RT-CGM system in Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom (2018-2020).

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Regional variations in the adoption of diabetes technology may be reflected in population-level metrics of glycaemic control. In this observational study, we aimed to assess the glycaemic impacts of transitioning from the Dexcom G5 Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (RT-CGM) System to the Dexcom G6 in three European countries.

Methods

Anonymised RT-CGM data (uploaded to the Dexcom Clarity app) were from users in Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (UK) who transitioned from G5 to G6 between 9-12 months after G6 launched in 2018. Primary endpoints were percent time in hypoglycaemia, percent time in range (TIR), user retention rates, device utilisation, and urgent low soon (ULS) alert utilisation. Metrics were computed for 3-month intervals in the 2-year study wi
