San Diego's Dexcom lays off 350 employees

Founded in 1999, Dexcom has become a leading developer of the continuous glucose monitor. For people with diabetes, wearing a glucose monitor eliminates the need for fingerstick tests and allows their blood sugar levels to be tracked around the clock. When a patient's blood sugar shifts dangerously, Dexcom will alert them. Initially, the company's products primarily served people with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that typically develops in adolescence. Over time, its research expanded to include those with Type 2 diabetes as well.
