when you last took insulin or your recent activity, the right treatment
decision may be to do nothing and scan again later. Avoid “insulin
stacking”.

Sensor glucose values, which are based on interstitial fluid glucose
levels, can be different from blood glucose levels (fingersticks),
particularly during times when your blood glucose is changing quickly.
If your glucose readings and alarms from the System do not match your
symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick blood glucose value from a
blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.

When not to use Sensor Glucose readings for treatment decisions
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.
