DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXCM), a global leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for people with diabetes, today announced the launch of Dexcom Academy, a new personalised learning platform created with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and for healthcare professionals.

Guided directly by HCP insights, Dexcom Academy has been designed to strengthen confidence in CGM use and support consistent, high-quality diabetes care – without adding to clinical burden. Available as both desktop learning and an intuitive mobile app, the platform allows HCPs to choose learning resources about CGM and diabetes most suitable for their needs through short, flexible, easy-to-digest modules that fit seamlessly into busy schedules.
Listening to HCPs and responding to real clinical needs
In shaping Dexcom Academy, Dexcom worked closely with HCPs across EMEA to understand what would genuinely support them in practice. Many reported that existing education options could feel overwhelming, too generic, or not tailored to their speciality or experience level. They also shared a desire for practical content that would enhance confidence during patient consultations.
This feedback aligns with insights from the Dexcom State of Type 2 Report, which found that 38% of surveyed HCPs across EMEA believed that ongoing education about the latest diabetes technology could help overcome the challenges they faced when caring for people with type 2 diabetes1. Dexcom Academy directly addresses this need, providing clear, accessible education that supports effective adoption of CGM for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Built with healthcare professionals, for healthcare professionals
Dr. Nora Ruhl, PhD, Professional and Patient Education Lead for Dexcom EMEA LATAM, said: “Healthcare professionals have told us loud and clear that they need education that is flexible, personalised, on-demand, relevant, and truly useful in practice. Dexcom Academy is designed to deliver exactly that, bite-sized, evidence-based training that strengthens confidence in CGM and supports the best possible care for people living with diabetes.”
Speaking about Dexcom’s approach, Maite Penalba, President of the Association for Diabetes Educators, Valencia, added: “Through Dexcom Academy, healthcare professionals can access training that offer us certification, that we can manage at our own pace, and that add value because they are based on real case studies.
“The courses not only facilitate an understanding of the [CGM] system’s features but can also be practically applied in consultations with people with diabetes. Dexcom Academy is an opportunity for all professionals to continue learning and share best practices. Congratulations to Dexcom for the launch and thank you for this initiative.”
