Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment and Geographic Information

Business Segment and Geographic Information

Reportable Segments

An operating segment is identified as a component of a business that has discrete financial information available and for which the chief operating decision maker must decide the level of resource allocation. In addition, the guidance for segment reporting indicates certain quantitative materiality thresholds.

We currently consider our operations to be, and manage our business globally within, one reportable segment, which is consistent with how our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, reviews our business, makes investment and resource allocation decisions, and assesses operating performance.

Disaggregation of Revenue

DexCom is domiciled in the United States. We sell our durable systems and disposable sensors through a direct sales force in the United States, Canada and some countries in Europe, and through distribution arrangements in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and in some countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts by major sales channel and geography as we believe they best depict how the nature, amount and timing of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Revenues by geographic region

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, no country outside of the United States generated revenue that represented more than 10% of our total revenue.

The following table sets forth revenues by our two primary geographical markets, United States and outside of the United States, based on the geographic location to which we deliver the product:

	Three Months Ended   March 31, 2019							Three Months Ended   March 31, 2018
