Dexcom and Beyond Type 2 Launch National Glucose Awareness Week with Retta

What You Should Know: 

– DexCom, Inc., the global leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring, and Beyond Type 2, a non-profit organization, are joining forces with actress Retta to launch the first-ever National Glucose Awareness Week. 

– Taking place from September 23-29, 2024, this initiative aims to bridge the knowledge gap surrounding glucose health and empower individuals to take control of their well-being.

Addressing the Glucose Knowledge Gap

While glucose management is critical for people with diabetes or prediabetes, a recent survey reveals that only 10% of those with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes fully understand the factors impacting their glucose levels. Many also report confusion and decreased confidence in their health following diagnosis.

National Glucose Awareness Week Activities

The week will feature a wealth of educational resources highlighting the importance of glucose health and showcasing advancements in glucose biosensing technology. These biosensors offer valuable insights into how lifestyle choices affect glucose levels, empowering individuals to make informed decisions. Participants will also have the opportunity to win prizes as they learn and share information about glucose awareness.

Get Involved

Visit GetGlucoseAware.com today to:

  • Get Aware: Watch Retta’s informative videos on glucose health and earn chances to win prizes by sharing your knowledge.
  • Get Moving: Join the nationwide step challenge (invitation code: glucose) from September 30 to October 13 to improve your glucose health and compete for prizes. Register for the challenge between September 23-29.
  • Get Resources: Access essential educational resources from Beyond Type 2 to close the glucose knowledge gap.

“Since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I’ve needed to learn how different lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise can impact my glucose levels and my overall health,” said Retta, the actress well-known for her roles in Parks and Recreation, Good Girls, and Hit Man. “Since I started using Stelo, Dexcom’s newest glucose biosensor, I’ve improved my glucose awareness. That is why I’m proud to partner with Dexcom and Beyond Type 2 to help others increase their glucose knowledge.”
