Dexcom

Dexcom is requiring users to accept its updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before they can view their glucose levels in its apps. People with diabetes are voicing frustration that access to essential health data is being tied to agreeing to legal and privacy terms, with some questioning data-use implications and whether consent is truly voluntary.

Class action lawsuits have been filed against Dexcom, the glucose monitoring company, claiming that the hacking group ShinyHunters stole patient health data from its systems. The suits allege the company failed to adequately protect sensitive medical information belonging to users of its continuous glucose monitoring devices. Dexcom has not yet publicly responded to the allegations in detail.
