At Dexcom, we believe that with diabetes, knowledge is power. We’ve spent the last 20 years innovating and developing simpler and better ways for people with type 1 diabetes to measure, track and manage their diabetes. When Dexcom was established the only way to measure glucose levels was to fingerstick, it gave us a snapshot not a story which made it difficult to understand our glucose levels and trends over time or feel in control of our diabetes. Since then, we’ve launched the world’s first real-time CGM system and helped to eliminate more than 11 billion fingersticks.

Lilly unites caring with discovery to create medicines that make life better for people around the world. We’ve been pioneering life-changing discoveries for nearly 150 years, and today our medicines help more than 51 million people across the globe.
