Dexcom ONE Sensor 3-Pack for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

 

The Dexcom ONE sensor provides real-time glucose readings for people with diabetes who need continuous monitoring. This 3-pack contains three individual sensors, each designed to be worn for up to 10 days. The sensor works by measuring glucose levels in your interstitial fluid through a small, flexible filament that sits just under your skin.

Each sensor connects wirelessly to the Dexcom ONE app on your smartphone, delivering glucose readings every minute without the need for routine fingerstick calibrations. The system alerts you to glucose trends and patterns, helping you make informed decisions about your diabetes management alongside our comprehensive diabetes monitoring range.

 

How the Continuous Glucose Monitor Works

 

The Dexcom ONE sensor uses a thin glucose oxidase-coated wire that measures glucose in the tissue fluid beneath your skin. This measurement correlates closely with blood glucose levels, providing you with continuous data about your glucose trends and direction.

The sensor transmits readings to your compatible smartphone every minute, creating a comprehensive picture of your glucose patterns throughout the day and night. The system provides customisable alerts for high and low glucose levels, helping you respond quickly to changes in your condition.

 

Who Should Consider This Glucose Monitoring System

 

The Dexcom ONE sensor is suitable for people with diabetes aged 2 years and older who require intensive glucose monitoring. It's particularly beneficial for those who experience frequent glucose fluctuations or have difficulty recognising hypoglycaemic episodes.

This continuous glucose monitor may be appropriate if you:

• Take multiple daily insulin injections or use an insulin pump
• Have a history of severe hypoglycaemia or hypoglycaemia unawareness
• Need detailed glucose data to optimise your diabetes management
• Want to reduce the frequency of fingerstick blood glucose tests

 

Benefits of Real-Time Glucose Data

 

Continuous glucose monitoring provides insights that traditional blood glucose meters cannot offer. You can see not just your current glucose level, but also the direction and rate of change, helping you anticipate and prevent dangerous highs and lows.

The system's trend arrows and customisable alerts enable proactive diabetes management. You can identify patterns related to food, exercise, stress, and sleep, allowing you and your healthcare team to make more informed treatment adjustments.

 

Sensor Application and Wear Duration

 

Each Dexcom ONE sensor is applied using the provided applicator, which inserts the sensor quickly and with minimal discomfort. The sensor adheres to your skin with a strong adhesive patch designed to stay in place during daily activities, including showering and light exercise.

The sensor provides accurate readings for up to 10 days before requiring replacement. During this period, the system requires no fingerstick calibrations, though you should still use traditional blood glucose testing to confirm readings before making treatment decisions, especially during the first 24 hours of wear.
