As the UK marks the start of Diabetes Awareness Week, a new
study reveals 84% of people surveyed agree having diabetes can
negatively impact mental health.1 The study, commissioned by
DexCom, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXCM), the global leader in real-time
continuous glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, also found
that nearly all those living with diabetes (91%) believe that
technology enables them to continue building a balanced lifestyle
whilst managing diabetes.1
“As a pioneer and leader in real-time CGM, our goal at Dexcom is
to simplify and improve diabetes management for every person with
diabetes,” says Ben Byrne, Dexcom Country Director of UK and
Ireland. “Dexcom CGM systems give people with diabetes a full
picture of glucose numbers to help them better manage their
condition – which, in turn can help them go about their day with
more confidence and less stress. This Diabetes Awareness Week and
beyond, we’re proud to not only support the diabetes community with
our products, but also educate the broader public on diabetes and
the physical and mental effects it can have.”
To honour the strength and resilience of the diabetes community,
and to promote mental health and connection, Dexcom is encouraging
people with diabetes - and their friends and family - to strike a
#DexcomWarriorPose by hosting a day of free puppy yoga classes at
Puppy Yoga London in Hoxton, London this Saturday 17 June.
The first class at 10:30AM will be with Dexcom’s Warriors model
Roxy Horner* and professional rugby player Henry Slade.* The class
is open to all people living with diabetes and the broader public
as a way to encourage people to learn more about the condition,
which affects more than five million people in the UK.
“I was diagnosed with Type 1 right before my 30th birthday and
it certainly caused me to struggle with my mental health. I had to
wrap my head around an entirely new way of life,” says model and
Dexcom Warrior Roxy Horner.* “Coincidentally, I adopted my
Cavapoo, Coco, the same week as my diagnosis and she’s been the
most incredible friend and emotional support buddy. I am thrilled
to be hosting the Dexcom Warrior Pose event this weekend to
celebrate the diabetes community and de-stress with some puppy
cuddles together!”
