Introduction
Important: Read all of the instructions in this User’s Guide and the FreeStyle® Test Strip package
insert before using your FreeStyle Navigator® Continuous Glucose Monitoring System. Adjustments to
your treatment should be done under the guidance of your healthcare team.
Your FreeStyle Navigator system continuously reads, displays, and records the glucose levels in the
fluids found between the cells under your skin (interstitial fluids). It does this by using a small, thin,
plastic sensor inserted just under the skin.
Your FreeStyle Navigator system provides you with continuous glucose readings in real time. By
having access to more frequent glucose measurements, you can monitor your glucose levels and gain
an understanding of patterns in your glucose levels. This will help you and your healthcare team see
how factors such as your diet, insulin, exercise, and diabetes medication affect your glucose levels,
and to adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Your FreeStyle Navigator system has a number of helpful features.
Wireless communication between the transmitter and receiver.
•
Disposable sensor that can be worn up to 5 days.
•
Alarms to alert you to low or high glucose levels (hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia)
•
before

when

Graphs and statistics that show your glucose results in easy-to-understand formats.
•
Directional glucose trend arrows that show if your glucose values are rising or falling and
•
how fast.
Memory to hold up to 60 days worth of data.
•
Wireless communication capabilities to a personal computer.
•
Built-in FreeStyle® Blood Glucose Meter for performing blood glucose measurements.

Important:
Keep this User’s Guide for future reference. It will come in handy when you have to do
procedures that you do not do often enough to remember.
