Risk factors and competitive landscape

While recent quarters have shown solid revenue and profit growth, Dexcom operates in a competitive diabetes-tech environment where large diversified device makers and technology firms are also targeting continuous glucose monitoring and biosensing opportunities, raising the stakes for sustained innovation and regulatory execution.GlobeNewswire
