not replace the glucometer during the monitoring process. The accuracy of
different brands of blood glucose meters and test strips will vary.
d) The accuracy of blood glucose readings used for calibration may affect the
accuracy of sensor glucose readings.
The steps to enter the blood glucose value during calibration are as follows:
a) Wash hands and dry, make sure the blood sugar test strips are stored properly
during the shelf life, and make sure the blood glucose meter can work
normally ;
b) Follow the instructions and use the blood glucose meter to test the blood
glucose ;
c) Enter the Calibration screen from Home Screen ;
d) Using a BG meter, do a fingerstick test and enter the value in the calibration
entry box. Press “Calibrate” button.
Caution
Blood glucose should not be calibrated in a rapid change of glucose level and
the general rate of change is 0.11 mmol/L per minute. Do not calibrate when
the single arrow or double arrow is displayed on the App interface which
indicates that your blood glucose level increases/decreases by 0.11-0.17
mmol/L or over 0.17 mmol/L per minute. Calibration can significantly affect
the accuracy of sensor glucose readings when glucose value rises or falls.
In order to obtain more accurate data, it is recommended to test and calibrate
the blood glucose before going to bed at night and during fasting the next
morning.
Warning
Calibrate at least once every 24 hours if no Sensor code is entered, or the
sensor glucose readings might be inaccurate and you might miss a low or high
blood glucose value.
