The Bigfoot Unity
™
Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 3
• Letting you easily set up and adjust your insulin and insulin dosing
information on your phone and having that information displayed on
your Caps to use when you need to inject a dose.
• Scanning your Sensor with your White Cap to view your current
glucose level and Trend Arrow at the time you intend to dose.
• Recording the last time you dosed insulin, and helping you decide
how much insulin to take to cover meals and/or bring down a high
glucose.
• Giving you access for reviewing your insulin and glucose history in
the App.
• Providing two ways to measure your glucose: (1) a Sensor that
continuously measures glucose in the fluid below your skin and (2)
a Meter that provides you a blood glucose result using a drop of
blood from your fingertip.
• Incorporating continuous glucose monitoring and the capability for
real-time Very Low and Low Glucose Alerts so the App can alert
you to situations when your glucose levels require your immediate
attention. Glucose alerts are an important safety feature for some
people, for example, those that have impaired awareness of
hypoglycemia or a history of severe hypoglycemia. Before you turn
alerts off or change their settings, please consult your health care
provider.
Risks
There are risks associated with using Bigfoot Unity. Some of these
are inherent in using Bigfoot Unity and others are related to making
decisions about managing your diabetes.
• There is always the risk of dosing too much or too little insulin.
While Bigfoot Unity is designed to give you as much information
as possible at the time you inject insulin from your pens, the final
decision on when and how much to dose is up to you. Taking too
much or too little insulin can lead to serious injury.
• You may make an incorrect treatment decision if you enter incorrect
insulin settings or if you don’t update your settings when your
insulin needs change over time.
• You may make an incorrect treatment decision if you accidentally
use the wrong insulin pen.
• You may make an incorrect treatment decision if you misread or
misinterpret insulin recommendations.
