Dexcom G6 for real-time continuous glucose monitoring

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

Pregnant women may particularly benefit from Dexcom G6. People with certain skin conditions or allergies may be unable to wear the sensor. The company notes there may be inequity in access to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies for people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is classed as a disability under the Equality Act 2010.
