Research Summary
Analyzed using Evidence Intelligence™

Dexcom ONE use significantly reduces HbA1c in diabetes patients.

Last updated July 12, 2026

Key finding

Mean HbA1c significantly decreased from 90 mmol/mol (10.3%) to 79 mmol/mol (9.4%) at 6 months (Δ -12 mmol/mol, p < 0.001) in T1D users.

The study found that real-world use of Dexcom ONE CGM led to significant reductions in mean HbA1c levels after 6 months.

Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

The study found that real-world use of Dexcom ONE CGM led to significant reductions in mean HbA1c levels after 6 months.

Clinical relevance

These findings are clinically significant as they suggest that the Dexcom ONE CGM can effectively help individuals with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. Improved health perception and reduced diabetes distress indicate enhanced overall well-being, which is crucial for long-term diabetes management.

Keep in mind

Study design limited to observational cohort, which may introduce bias. Sample size and diversity not specified, affecting generalizability. No specific changes reported for time above range (TAR).

Main Effects

Mean HbA1c decreased from 90 mmol/mol (10.3%) to 79 mmol/mol (9.4%) in T1D users (Δ -12 mmol/mol, p < 0.001).

Mean HbA1c decreased from 86 mmol/mol (10.1%) to 67 mmol/mol (8.3%) in T2D users.

T2D users exhibited a clinically meaningful increase in time in range (Δ +9.0%).

Both groups reported improved perception of health and reduced diabetes distress.
