MORPh's Latest Updates on Diabetes Care

MORPh featuring Dexcom: Advancing Continuous Glucose Monitoring

We are excited to bring you the latest updates from MORPh?in regards to Diabetes. In this edition, we explore the benefits of CGM, and introduce the Dexcom ONE Plus, now featured in our On-demand learning resources page. We also highlight our On-Demand Diabetes Academy and take a look at MORPh's free Medication Review Service.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a more effective method than traditional finger pricking.

Technologies like Dexcom ONE+ can reduce the time spent in hypoglycemia and help ease the resource burden in diabetes care practices.

Dexcom CGM has been shown to reduce HbA1c, decrease instances of hyper- and hypoglycemia, increase time in the target glucose range, and enhance quality of life. Each Dexcom ONE+ sensor lasts for 10 days.
