Dexcom announced today that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its Dexcom G4® PLATINUM Continuous Glucose Monitoring System with Share. The Dexcom Share receiver uses a secure wireless connection via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) between a patient's receiver and an app on the patient's smartphone to transmit glucose information to apps on the mobile devices of up to five designated recipients, or "followers," without the need for a dedicated docking cradle. These followers can remotely monitor a patient's glucose information and receive alert notifications from almost anywhere, initially via their Apple® iPhone® or iPod® touch and in the future on Android devices, giving them peace of mind and reassurance when they are apart. The "Share" and "Follower" apps will be available on the Apple App Store at no charge.

The Glucositter software algorithm has received a CE Mark in Europe, but the big question is when and how this software will reach patients. Currently, the system runs on a laptop, but a handheld device for patients is an ideal choice. DreaMed Diabetes is the company in charge of commercializing the closed-loop system consisting of software algorithm, pump, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

One of the leaders in the diabetes management market is turning to Google to make its blood glucose sensors smaller and more appealing to diabetics. And with some 10 percent of the American population dependent on those sensors to manage their chronic condition, that's a sizeable market to address. San Diego-based Dexcom's partnership with Google's Life Sciences division is designed to create "something that is very, very low cost and very small," Dexcom Vice President Steve Pacelli told Forbes. "Add all that together with a robust data platform. … Diabetes management is largely predicated on having data to make better decisions."

Dexcom announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Dexcom G5® Mobile Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. With wireless Bluetooth® technology built into the device transmitter, the G5 Mobile CGM System is the first and only fully mobile CGM system approved by the FDA for both adults and children as young as 2 years of age that sends glucose data directly to a smartphone, freeing users from the need to carry a separate receiver. The new transmitter securely sends vital glucose information directly to an app on iOS-enabled devices for real-time diabetes management. Android applications will follow early next year. Like its predecessor, the G4 PLATINUM CGM with Share, users can also select up to five designated recipients, or "followers”. These followers can remotely monitor a patient's glucose information and receive alert notifications from almost anywhere.
