Dexcom ONE Sensor - Single

Dexcom ONE Sensor for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

 

The Dexcom ONE sensor provides real-time glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, offering continuous readings without the need for routine finger prick tests. This single-use sensor attaches discreetly to your skin and transmits glucose data directly to your smartphone or compatible device for up to 10 days.

You can track your glucose levels throughout the day and night, helping you make informed decisions about your diabetes management. The system alerts you to high and low glucose levels, giving you time to take appropriate action before symptoms develop.

 

How the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Works

 

The sensor uses a thin filament that sits just under your skin to measure glucose in your interstitial fluid. It takes readings every minute and sends this information wirelessly to the Dexcom ONE app on your smartphone. The data appears as easy-to-read graphs showing your current glucose level and trends over time.

Unlike traditional blood glucose meters, this continuous glucose monitoring system eliminates the need for multiple daily finger pricks. You can see not just your current glucose level, but also whether it's rising, falling, or staying steady, which helps you understand how food, exercise, and medication affect your glucose throughout the day.

 

Who Benefits from CGM Technology

 

This glucose sensor suits adults and children aged 2 years and over with diabetes who want more detailed information about their glucose patterns. It's particularly helpful if you experience frequent low glucose episodes, have unpredictable glucose levels, or want to reduce the number of finger prick tests you need to do.

The system is suitable for people who:

• Want to see glucose trends and patterns throughout the day
• Need alerts for high or low glucose levels
• Wish to reduce routine finger prick testing
• Want to share glucose data with healthcare providers or family members

For comprehensive diabetes monitoring support, this sensor works alongside your existing diabetes management plan under medical supervision.

 

Why Choose Real-Time Glucose Monitoring

 

Real-time glucose monitoring helps you spot patterns that traditional testing might miss, such as overnight glucose changes or post-meal spikes. The system provides customisable alerts that warn you before your glucose reaches dangerous levels, giving you time to take corrective action.

The sensor is water-resistant, allowing you to shower, swim, and exercise normally while wearing it. Each sensor lasts for 10 days, providing continuous monitoring without daily maintenance or calibration requirements.

 

Clinical Accuracy and Storage Requirements

 

The sensor meets clinical accuracy standards for diabetes monitoring devices and has been tested in clinical studies. Store the sensor at room temperature away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures until you're ready to apply it.

Each sensor comes individually packaged and sterile. Check the expiry date before use and ensure the packaging is intact. The sensor should be applied using the provided applicator following the step-by-step instructions included in the pack.
