Landmark Dexcom CONNECT Study Published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Redefining the Standard of Care for People with Type 2 Diabetes Not on Insulin

Landmark Dexcom CONNECT Study Published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Redefining the Standard of Care for People with Type 2 Diabetes Not on Insulin SAN DIEGO--( BUSINESS WIRE)-- DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), the global leader in glucose biosensing, today announced that results from the landmark CONNECT randomized controlled trial have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), providing rigorous evidence of the significant benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for adults with Type 2 diabetes not on insulin.

CONNECT participants using Dexcom G7 experienced an average 1.6% A1C reduction from a mean baseline of 8.8%, a 0.9% greater A1C reduction compared with routine care. 1 Participants using Dexcom G7 also spent approximately five additional hours per day in the glucose target range of 70–180 mg/dL compared with those receiving routine care. 1

“Publication of CONNECT in The New England Journal of Medicine represents a significant moment for the CGM category. Nearly two decades after NEJM last published clinical data on real-time CGM, we now have compelling evidence demonstrating the impact this technology can have for the millions of people with Type 2 diabetes who are not using insulin,” said Jake Leach, president and CEO of Dexcom. “Dexcom has spent more than 25 years building the CGM category, and today the evidence is undeniable. We’re calling on physicians, payors and healthcare leaders to recognize the meaningful impact CGM can have for this population and help bring the benefits of this technology to millions more people around the world."

The benefit of CGM use was observed across a broad range of baseline characteristics, including age, sex, race and ethnicity, body mass index, diabetes duration, income, education, health insurance and glucose-lowering medications. Among participants using GLP-1 therapies, wearing Dexcom G7 resulted in an additional 0.9% A1C reduction compared with routine care. 1

“These results provide compelling evidence that CGM use can meaningfully improve glucose outcomes for people with Type 2 diabetes who are not using insulin,” said Roy W. Beck, MD, PhD, Medical Director of the JAEB Center for Health Research and senior author of the study. “The fact that almost all participants were still using CGM after 26 weeks and most were using it every day indicates that the participants recognized the benefit of CGM and incorporated it into their daily diabetes management. Furthermore, the consistency of benefit across a broad range of people and treatment regimens supports consideration of the use of a CGM much earlier in Type 2 diabetes management before insulin is needed.”

The CONNECT study screened 440 participants across 22 primary care sites in the United States. The findings were first presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Scientific Sessions and add to a growing body of evidence supporting broader access to CGMs for people with Type 2 diabetes.
