This enables the blood glucose monitor to securely transmit glucose information to a free Dexcom app running on any iOS (and shortly Android) Bluetooth Smart ready smartphone.

The Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM System with Share allows blood glucose readings to be measured at a frequency of up to once every five minutes and shared with the mobile devices of up to five designated "follower" recipients who can then remotely monitor a diabetic’s glucose information and receive alert notifications from almost anywhere in the world with cellular network coverage.

"The Dexcom Share represents a new paradigm in diabetic treatment whereby dynamic trends (up, down, and stable) in a diabetic’s blood glucose levels can be continuously monitored and shared on a 24×7 basis for the first time," comments Jorge Valdes, Chief Technical Officer at Dexcom.

"This will not only give much greater insight and more accurate and timely management of the diabetic’s condition compared to traditional finger sticks, it will also give diabetics, their loved ones and/or their caregivers the peace of mind to know they are safe at any time."

Valdes adds: "We selected the Nordic μBlue™ nRF8001 because we could not find a better Bluetooth Smart solution on the market in terms of power consumption and performance. This decision three years ago has since been validated many times over with an exceptionally high level of service, technical support knowledge, and complete absence of supply issues."
