The Bigfoot Unity
™
Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 3
• Place the Bigfoot Unity Cap back onto the insulin pen immediately
after taking an insulin dose. If you do not replace the Cap promptly,
the time since last dose may not be accurate. This may result in you
taking too much or too little insulin, which can lead to severe low or
high glucose.
• Use caution when using Bigfoot Unity to choose an insulin dose
if the Cap does not display the time since last dose or if you
think the time since last dose is not correct. If you are unsure
about how much insulin to take, follow your health care provider’s
recommendations.
• Do NOT ignore alerts from Bigfoot Unity. Alerts help inform you
about Sensor availability, low glucose, or if you may have missed
your long-acting insulin dose. Paying attention to alerts can help
prevent severe low or high glucose.
• Do NOT use the glucose ranges displayed in your App to make
diabetes treatment decisions. Always use the White Cap to scan
the Sensor or read the Meter before deciding appropriate treatment.
The App only displays ranges of glucose values and you need more
specific information for diabetes treatment decisions. If you base
your treatment on the glucose range in the App, you might take
too much or too little insulin, which may lead to severe low or high
glucose.
• Always check the Black Cap for the time since last dose if you
receive a Long-Acting Dose Alert on your phone.
Checking the Black Cap for the time since last dose will help ensure
you take the next dose of insulin at the correct time, and help avoid
severe low or high glucose.
CAUTIONS and LIMITATIONS
• Use MY SETTINGS in the App to update your insulin settings
whenever your health care provider recommends changes. If your
App does not have your most recent insulin settings, information
displayed on the App and Caps may not be accurate for taking your
next insulin dose. This may result in taking too much or too little
insulin, which could lead to severe low or high glucose.
• Make sure your phone is within communication range (within
20 feet) of your Caps after you make any changes to your insulin
settings within the App. If your Caps do not have the most current
settings, you could take too much or too little insulin, which may
result in severe low or high glucose.
