Think Your Readings are Incorrect
Don’t trust Sensor glucose readings that you think may be incorrect or that don’t match
what you would expect based on your recent activity. For example, if you ate dinner but
forgot to take insulin before eating, you would expect your glucose to be high. If your
glucose reading is low, then it doesn’t match your recent activity, so don’t use it to make
treatment decisions. Don’t make treatment decisions if you think your Sensor glucose
readings are incorrect. Do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result.
Symptoms Don’t Match Reading
There may be times when your symptoms don’t match your Sensor glucose readings.
For example, you are feeling shaky, sweaty, and dizzy– symptoms you generally get
when you have low glucose, but your glucose reading is within your target range. When
symptoms don’t match readings, do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result.
Don’t ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose. If you’re the
caregiver, pay attention to times when the symptoms of the one you’re caring for don’t
match their Sensor glucose readings. When symptoms don’t match readings, do a blood
glucose test and treat based on that result.
No Current Glucose Number
When there is no Current Glucose number, such as when you receive an error message or
a LO or HI result, you don’t have enough information to make a treatment decision. Do a
blood glucose test and treat based on that result.
When You See the
Symbol During the First 12 Hours of Wearing a Sensor
During the fi rst 12 hours of Sensor wear the
symbol will display, and you cannot use
Sensor values to make treatment decisions during this time. Confi rm Sensor glucose
readings with a blood glucose test before making treatment decisions during the fi rst
12 hours of Sensor wear when you see the
symbol.
