From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dexcom CGM

  • ALT3: ... that the Dexcom Follow app enables up to ten designated users—like parents or caregivers—to remotely monitor a person’s real-time glucose readings on their mobile devices?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: So far so good, article passed minimum length criterion and newness. Source spot checks indicate good results, though I don't think every product name needs to be bolded? I would AGF on the interpretation that "first real-time factory-calibrated CGM system" means "without requiring calibrations". I also endorse the ALT0 hook, though I think it would be much more compact if you end the hook at "...calibrations" (no need for the "thereby eliminating the need for regular fingerstick blood tests?"). Approved! Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 04:32, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

ALT2 may be better, it is easily verifiable and just as interesting. MallardTV Talk to me! 13:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Suggestion from our Discord discussion:
I think this is just as interesting, shorter, and a bit less promotional. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:04, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
On second thought, I might have trimmed this a bit too much, at the expense of meaning anything to someone unfamiliar with the subject matter. Perhaps a mention or link to type 1 diabetes should find its way back into the hook somewhere. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:12, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
