Dexcom releases new State of Type 2 Report: Access and Attitudes Across the United States
Earlier this year, Dexcom announced the release of its first multi-region report, detailing access and attitudes of individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and healthcare professionals across Europe and the Middle East (EMEA). The latest State of Type 2 Report now builds on those initial findings with data collected in the U.S. Topline takeaways include:
“The findings of our State of Type 2 Report in the U.S. reaffirm what we’ve always believed to be true: CGM is central to the future of Type 2 diabetes care,” said Jake Leach, president and chief operating officer of Dexcom. “To help drive the greatest impact for patients, a continued focus on diabetes education and access to CGMs is needed – and Dexcom is committed to advancing these around the world.”

Dexcom presents robust clinical data and hosts compelling presentations
Conference attendees will have the opportunity to hear firsthand from Grammy-nominated singer, actor, producer and Dexcom Warrior Lance Bass about how Dexcom CGM has helped him live his best life during Dexcom’s product theater on Saturday, June 21.
After being diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), also known as Type 1.5 diabetes, Lance has been an advocate for the diabetes community, saying ‘Bye’ to fingersticks*, guesswork and uncertainty with the help of Dexcom G7 technology. Lance will be joined by experts who will also speak about how early adoption of CGM can improve diabetes management through personalized care in addition to innovations in Dexcom technology, including new features and in-app reports.
Additionally, Dexcom will present clinical data at the conference that continues to support the benefits of its technology for people with diabetes of all ages and stages. Most notably, several studies looking at CGM use for those with Type 2 diabetes across various insulin therapies show numerous benefits – adding to an already extensive body of evidence – from reduced mortality risk among insulin-using people 2 to reduced diabetes-related distress and improved self-management 3 among non-insulin using people.
In a real-world observational study of individuals with Type 2 diabetes not using insulin, Dexcom G7 use was associated with significantly reduced diabetes-related distress and increased adherence to healthy eating plans and exercise routines, supporting CGM as a powerful tool for behavior modification. 3

New State of Type 2 Report in the United States reports that a majority of HCPs surveyed believe continuous glucose monitoring will have the potential to be more impactful on the future of Type 2 diabetes care than advancements in diabetes medications.
When Indiana adopted new U.S. House districts four years ago, Republican legislative leaders lauded them as “fair maps” that reflected the state's communities.
But when Gov. Mike Braun recently tried to redraw the lines to help Republicans gain more power, he implored lawmakers to "vote for fair maps.”
What changed? The definition of “fair.”
As states undertake mid-decade redistricting instigated by President Donald Trump, Republicans and Democrats are using a tit-for-tat definition of fairness to justify districts that split communities in an attempt to send politically lopsided delegations to Congress. It is fair, they argue, because other states have done the same. And it is necessary, they claim, to maintain a partisan balance in the House of Representatives that resembles the national political divide.
This new vision for drawing congressional maps is creating a winner-take-all scenario that treats the House, traditionally a more diverse patchwork of politicians, like the Senate, where members reflect a state's majority party. The result could be reduced power for minority communities, less attention to certain issues and fewer distinct voices heard in Washington.
Although Indiana state senators rejected a new map backed by Trump and Braun that could have helped Republicans win all nine of the state’s congressional seats, districts have already been redrawn in Texas, California, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio. Other states could consider changes before the 2026 midterms that will determine control of Congress.
“It’s a fundamental undermining of a key democratic condition,” said Wayne Fields, a retired English professor from Washington University in St. Louis who is an expert on political rhetoric.
“The House is supposed to represent the people,” Fields added. “We gain an awful lot by having particular parts of the population heard.”
Under the Constitution, the Senate has two members from each state. The House has 435 seats divided among states based on population, with each state guaranteed at least one representative. In the current Congress, California has the most at 52, followed by Texas with 38.
Because senators are elected statewide, they are almost always political pairs of one party or another. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are the only states now with both a Democrat and Republican in the Senate. Maine and Vermont each have one independent and one senator affiliated with a political party.
By contrast, most states elect a mixture of Democrats and Republicans to the House. That is because House districts, with an average of 761,000 residents, based on the 2020 census, are more likely to reflect the varying partisan preferences of urban or rural voters, as well as different racial, ethnic and economic groups.
This year's redistricting is diminishing those locally unique districts.
In California, voters in several rural counties that backed Trump were separated from similar rural areas and attached to a reshaped congressional district containing liberal coastal communities. In Missouri, Democratic-leaning voters in Kansas City were split from one main congressional district into three, with each revised district stretching deep into rural Republican areas.
Some residents complained their voices are getting drowned out. But Govs. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., and Mike Kehoe, R-Mo., defended the gerrymandering as a means of countering other states and amplifying the voices of those aligned with the state's majority.
Indiana's delegation in the U.S. House consists of seven Republicans and two Democrats — one representing Indianapolis and the other a suburban Chicago district in the state's northwestern corner.
Dueling definitions of fairness were on display at the Indiana Capitol as lawmakers considered a Trump-backed redistricting plan that would have split Indianapolis among four Republican-leaning districts and merged the Chicago suburbs with rural Republican areas. Opponents walked the halls in protest, carrying signs such as “I stand for fair maps!”
Ethan Hatcher, a talk radio host who said he votes for Republicans and Libertarians, denounced the redistricting plan as “a blatant power grab" that "compromises the principles of our Founding Fathers" by fracturing Democratic strongholds to dilute the voices of urban voters.
“It’s a calculated assault on fair representation," Hatcher told a state Senate committee.
But others asserted it would be fair for Indiana Republicans to hold all of those House seats, because Trump won the “solidly Republican state” by nearly three-fifths of the vote.
“Our current 7-2 congressional delegation doesn’t fully capture that strength,” resident Tracy Kissel said at a committee hearing. "We can create fairer, more competitive districts that align with how Hoosiers vote.”
When senators defeated a map designed to deliver a 9-0 congressional delegation for Republicans, Braun bemoaned that they had missed an “opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps.”
By some national measurements, the U.S. House already is politically fair. The 220-215 majority that Republicans won over Democrats in the 2024 elections almost perfectly aligns with the share of the vote the two parties received in districts across the country, according to an Associated Press analysis.
But that overall balance belies an imbalance that exists in many states. Even before this year's redistricting, the number of states with congressional districts tilted toward one party or another was higher than at any point in at least a decade, the AP analysis found.
The partisan divisions have contributed to a “cutthroat political environment” that “drives the parties to extreme measures," said Kent Syler, a political science professor at Middle Tennessee State University. He noted that Republicans hold 88% of congressional seats in Tennessee, and Democrats have an equivalent in Maryland.
“Fairer redistricting would give people more of a feeling that they have a voice," Syler said.
Rebekah Caruthers, who leads the Fair Elections Center, a nonprofit voting rights group, said there should be compact districts that allow communities of interest to elect the representatives of their choice, regardless of how that affects the national political balance. Gerrymandering districts to be dominated by a single party results in “an unfair disenfranchisement" of some voters, she said.
“Ultimately, this isn’t going to be good for democracy," Caruthers said. "We need some type of détente.”
