This bite size module is a follow on from the Dexcom Education Hub course “Time in Range” an excellent metric for assessing risk of diabetes related complications1 and will introduce the concept of Time in Tight Range. This concept is an effort to encourage people with diabetes to achieve near normoglycemic ranges: and similar glucose levels to those living without diabetes. There is thought that by treating to this target: we could significantly reduce: or even eliminate the incidence of diabetes related complications2.
At Dexcom, we believe that with diabetes, knowledge is power, we’ve spent the last 20 years innovating and developing simpler and better ways for people with type 1 diabetes to measure, track and manage their diabetes. When Dexcom was established the only way to measure glucose levels was to fingerstick, it gave us a snapshot not a story which made it difficult to understand our glucose levels and trends over time or feel in control of our diabetes. Since then, we’ve launched the world’s first real-time CGM system and helped to eliminate more than 11 billion fingersticks.
