Nina Wadia: EastEnders star on son’s diagnosis after rushing him to hospital ‘I collapsed

Nina relies on the Dexcom G6 to help marange her son’s health, which she praised as “life-changing” and added: “If we can see that my son’s blood sugar is dipping, because the Dexcom has an app and it alarms you, you can go, ‘Quickly have an apple or have something with sugar in it’.

“So you prevent the hypo because the more your child stays in range, which basically means their blood sugar is of a reasonably everyday level, the healthier he’ll be and the less long-term complications he will have.

“So that’s why something like the G6 is just incredible. It allows not only him to have access, but it also has an app called the Dexcom Share, which means that as parents, I’m sitting here at home and I’m looking at my watch and I can see that he’s 6.4 going diagonally down right now, which is quite weird.

“But it means that I know he’s okay and that’s all parents ever want.”

Dexcom’s revolutionary G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor is increasingly sought-after by people living with type 1 diabetes who want freedom and peace of mind when it comes to diabetes management. For more information, visit: www.dexcom.com/en-GB
