• New RAMQ coverage means eligible Québec residents with type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy can now access Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) to simplify diabetes management.

MONTREAL / Nov 06, 2025 / Business Wire / Dexcom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), a global leader in glucose biosensing, applauds the Québec government for its recent decision to expand coverage of Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems under the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) for eligible Québecers aged 18 and older living with type 2 diabetes who are treated with intensive insulin therapy (IIT)*.

According to Diabète Québec, type 2 diabetes is the most common form, affecting nearly 90% of those living with diabetes, and many eventually require insulin when lifestyle changes and oral medications are no longer enough to manage blood glucose¹. The expansion of RAMQ coverage will grant access to Dexcom CGM for a broader population.

“This announcement represents a significant step forward for people managing diabetes in Québec and their healthcare providers, with broader access to Dexcom’s advanced CGM technology,” says André Côté, Vice President and General Manager of Dexcom Canada. “Dexcom G7 is the most accurate CGM System^†,2, and the #1 preferred CGM by Canadian endocrinologists.^‡,3 88% of CGM users with type 2 diabetes reported it helped them better understand and adjust their lifestyle⁴ and the impact on their daily diabetes management was both meaningful and measurable.”

Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) – individuals must be aged two and older and meet the following criteria:

• Under age 18: Must have type 1 diabetes.
• Age 18 and over: Must be on intensive insulin therapy (at least three injections/day or insulin pump) and meet one or more of the following:
  • Hemoglobin A1C target not achieved despite optimal disease management
  • Frequent hypoglycemia episodes in the past year despite adherence to a glycemia plan
  • Inability to recognize or signal symptoms of hypoglycemia

Private Insurance – All private insurance plans must offer coverage that is at least equivalent or better than the RAMQ criteria. Most private insurance plans already cover Dexcom CGM for anyone on insulin and some plans cover anyone with diabetes.

With Dexcom CGM sensors, individuals can track glucose levels in real time, learn how treatments and daily choices affect their body, and discover what helps them stay in target glucose range, empowering them to feel their best and stay motivated.

“In clinical practice, continuous glucose monitoring has significantly advanced our ability to personalize diabetes care,” says Dr. Yves Robitaille, Specialist in Internal Medicine and Medical Director at the Metabolic Medicine Center of Lanaudière. “Offering patients a range of options ensures that treatment aligns with their specific health goals and circumstances.”

Discreet and easy to use, Dexcom G7 is the only CGM system in Canada to offer these features for insulin therapy optimization and personalization:

• Predictive Urgent Low Soon^§ alert that can warn in advance of severe hypoglycemia⁵
• Delay 1^st High alert after a meal that may help reduce insulin stacking^6,7
• Waterproof sensor^||
• Fast 30-minute sensor warm-up time
• Multiple sensor wear locations^¶
• Direct to Apple Watch functionality^# – user can see glucose numbers right on their wrist

As the #1 patient recommended CGM in Canada^**,8, Dexcom G7 delivers both clinical and lifestyle benefits, and now more Québecers than ever will have access to this technology for their diabetes management.
