Riyadh, September 3rd, 2025 - DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), a global leader in real-time glucose monitoring, has officially launched its Middle East and North Africa (MENA) headquarters in Riyadh. The move marks a major step toward supporting Saudi Vision 2030 goals by bringing world-class diabetes technology, education, and partnerships to Saudi Arabia and the wider region. With diabetes affecting 1 in 6 adults1 in Saudi Arabia, and the Middle East and North Africa region recording the highest global prevalence1, Dexcom aims to transform how the condition is managed with their Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems, Dexcom G7 and Dexcom ONE+. Helping Bridge the Diabetes Care Gap Although the Middle East and North Africa accounts for over 14% of the global diabetes population, it receives just 3.4% of global diabetes-related spending2. Dexcom's launch in Saudi Arabia will bring cutting-edge solutions to more people and support a national push to reduce the long-term impact of diabetes on individuals, families, and the healthcare system. More Than Technology: Education, Access, and Awareness Dexcom is also rolling out a robust education initiative, launching later this year, to support healthcare professionals across Saudi Arabia. The programme includes workshops and training for physicians, pharmacists, and patient educators, not only on product use, but also on the latest clinical guidelines and international best practices in diabetes care. Through partnerships with key stakeholders, including government bodies and diabetes societies Dexcom aims to drive greater awareness, reduce stigma, and promote healthier lifestyles through data-driven care. Dexcom reaffirms its commitment to advancing diabetes care in the region. This reflects the company's core mission of delivering innovative solutions that make a real difference in the lives of people with diabetes, in alignment with the objectives of the Ministries of Health. Enabling Long-Term Health Planning Dexcom's regional headquarters will also support the generation of local health economics and clinical data to guide long-term planning. This includes participating in national registries and studies to reflect real-world outcomes in Saudi Arabia and enable strategic data-sharing with authorities in compliance with local policies. Fadi Gedeon, General Manager for the Middle East and North Africa at Dexcom, said: 'I'm proud to bring Dexcom's life-changing solutions to the region. With over 20 years in med-tech and diabetes care, I've seen how innovation can truly transform lives. Our mission here goes beyond technology; we're committed to supporting people with diabetes at every stage of their journey.'
