Alberta residents living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who are enrolled in a government-sponsored health benefit plan and meet the eligibility criteria* below may now receive coverage for Dexcom G7:

  • Under 18 years of age: requiring the ongoing use of any insulin OR insulin pump therapy.
  • 18 years of age and older: requiring the ongoing use of insulin pump therapy, OR a basal and bolus insulin, OR a premixed insulin.

“Canadians living with any type of diabetes understand the challenges that come with management of the condition. Dexcom G7 has been designed to make daily management easier and to help improve users' day-to-day lives – whether they’re a recently diagnosed adolescent or an adult who’s lived with the condition for decades,” said André Côté, Vice President and General Manager of Dexcom Canada. “We’re thrilled that the government of Alberta recognizes this and is introducing public coverage for eligible residents that includes both adults and children living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy.”

Dexcom G7 offers a better way to help users gain greater control of their glucose levels and is clinically proven to lower A1C for people living with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.1-5 Features like its quick sensor warm-up time, a predictive Urgent Low Soon alert, and wide range of compatible digital health apps differentiate it amongst other available CGM systems in Canada, providing users with a simple, accurate6 and effective way to manage their diabetes day-to-day.

"The importance and value of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people living with diabetes requiring insulin treatment is underscored by Canadian and international clinical practice guidelines," said Dr. Peter Senior, Endocrinologist and Director of the Alberta Diabetes Institute. "As a diabetes specialist working with patients, I have seen the benefits of CGM and the challenges faced by those who couldn’t afford it. Ensuring equitable access to CGM technology is a significant and important step forward for diabetes care in Alberta.”

Across Canada, coverage for Dexcom’s leading CGM technology has grown significantly over the last few years. This announcement brings Alberta on par with British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Yukon in terms of making diabetes technology like Dexcom CGM available to a broader group of those who can benefit from it.

Albertans on any type of insulin who have private insurance or are covered by the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) federal program have access to Dexcom G7 through those plans.‡.
