Dexcom takes G6 CGM to Singapore

Global CGM device maker Dexcom has launched its latest CGM system in Singapore. 

Distributed through its partner DKSH Singapore, the prick-less Dexcom G6 CGM uses a wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously measure and send glucose levels wirelessly to a compatible smart device.

It pairs with a companion mobile app on iOS and Android devices, enabling the sharing of glucose data with up to ten people, including families and healthcare teams.

The launch of the Dexcom G6 comes after it obtained approval from the Health Sciences Authority late last year and the recent opening of the Dexcom regional headquarter in the country.
