FDA clears Dexcom G7 CGM for 15-day wear

The US Food and Drug Administration has cleared the extended-wear Dexcom G7 device for adult users

The Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) will now last 15 days, up from the previous 10-day version, making it the longest-lasting CGM wearable.

The 15.5-day version is expected to be available in the second half of 2025. It will retain features of the current 10-day version, including Apple Watch compatibility, automated meal and activity logging, the 12-hour grace period for replacing finished sensors, and the ability for remote sharing of glucose data.

Dexcom is also working with its insulin pump partners to ensure that the Dexcom G7 15-day will be compatible with automated insulin delivery systems at the time of launch.
