The Dexcom G6 CGM system will be available through the NDSS to all our patients with Type 1 diabetes. Up til now, the G6 has only been available to those using the Tandem T-slim insulin pump. This restriction will be removed from March 1st, 2022.
The listing of the G6 coincides with the delisting of the Dexcom G5 system, meaning this system will no longer be available through the NDSS.
Users of Dexcom G5 will be automatically updated to Dexcom G6 on 1 March 2022. There is no requirement for these people to see their diabetes health professional. However, if people have concerns, questions or require assistance transitioning to the new device, or wish to discuss using an alternate device, they should make an appointment with their diabetes health professional.
Those who have accessed the G6 through the PCH donation program will be registered with the NDSS when the form becomes available.
