How It Works

Easy 1-2-3 Setup

Apply the sensor, start tracking, and let the data guide treatment decisions.

01

Apply the Sensor

A small, water-resistant sensor is applied to the back of the upper arm or abdomen. The auto-applicator makes insertion quick and virtually painless.

02

Continuous Glucose Tracking

The sensor measures glucose levels every five minutes, streaming real-time data to the patient’s compatible device and the CCN Health platform.

03

See and Act on Data

Patients and clinicians view trends, set customizable high/low alerts, and make informed treatment decisions based on continuous data.

Live Data

Continuous Glucose Stream.

Every five minutes, the Dexcom sensor captures a new glucose reading and streams it to the CCN Health platform. Clinicians see real-time trends, time-in-range analytics, and predictive alerts without waiting for a patient office visit.

Clinical Applications

CGM monitoring addresses a wide range of diabetes management scenarios.

01

Type 1 Diabetes

Continuous glucose visibility for intensive insulin management. Real-time trend data reduces hypoglycemic episodes and improves A1c outcomes.

02

Type 2 Diabetes

Glucose pattern recognition for medication titration and lifestyle coaching. Helps patients understand how food, activity, and medication affect their levels.

03

Gestational Diabetes

Tight glycemic control during pregnancy without frequent fingersticks. Continuous data supports safer outcomes for mother and baby.

04

Post-Surgical Glucose

Perioperative glucose monitoring for surgical patients. Continuous readings detect stress hyperglycemia and steroid-induced glucose spikes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Dexcom CGM for RPM programs.

Yes. Dexcom continuous glucose monitors are FDA-cleared devices that qualify for RPM billing under CPT 99454. Glucose readings are captured every 5 minutes and transmitted to the CCN Health platform for clinical review.

Dexcom sensors transmit glucose readings to the patient's smartphone app, which syncs with the Dexcom cloud. CCN Health pulls data from the Dexcom API, providing clinical staff with real-time glucose trends, time-in-range metrics, and alert notifications.

Dexcom provides 288 readings per day (every 5 minutes) from a sensor worn for 10-15 days, versus 1-4 daily finger-stick readings with a traditional meter. CGM reveals glucose patterns, overnight trends, and postprandial spikes that finger sticks miss.

Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy, gestational diabetes, and patients with hypoglycemic unawareness benefit most. The continuous data stream enables precise medication titration and early detection of dangerous glucose excursions.

Yes. Dexcom CGMs require a compatible smartphone for data relay. This differs from cellular RPM devices that transmit independently. For patients without smartphones, CCN Health offers standalone cellular glucose meters as an alternative.
