Chad Patterson, senior VP, global marketing, Dexcom, said in a statement, "In an environment like COVID, it's more relevant than ever. The fact that people are struggling with their health and are somewhat isolated. For people who can't get to their doctor, they can do so remotely with our technology."

The 30-second spot, which will air during the first quarter of the game, will showcase how Dexcom is different by not monitoring glucose levels with traditional finger sticks.
