Accuracy of Dexcom G7

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared Dexcom G7 as an integrated continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. Tandem Diabetes Care is the first company to offer multiple insulin pumps, the Tandem Mobi system and t:slim X2 insulin pump, that integrate with the Dexcom G7 sensor. This pairing provides exceptional accuracy, optimizing insulin delivery.

The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) is a statistical measurement of how accurate a CGM system is, and a lower number indicates better accuracy. The Dexcom G7 sensor has an overall MARD of 8.2% for adults and 8.1% for children, compared to the Dexcom G6 CGM sensor, which has a MARD of 9% for overall users.1
