We're celebrating some big news – the Dexcom G7 is finally dropping in Oz this September! 🥳 We'll give you the lowdown on the awesome new features, and reveal a slightly disappointing caveat... This episode also features our first guest: Dr. Aldo Riquelmi, who is a GP and... a diabetes educator! 😱
This was a great discussion about getting more out of your GP visit than just scripts and referrals, and the role GPs can play (if you want them to) in your type 1 care. Aldo acknowledges that the health system is rigid and can be frustrating, but that with the right GP, you can use it to your advantage, and that some welcome changes might be coming in the next few years...
During the show, we had some confusion over whether Dexcom G7 would allow users to silence urgent low alarms. We checked with Google and yes, we will be able to silence all alerts (including urgent low alerts) for up to 6 hours - yippee! Or at least that's how it works in the US.
