Glucose Messages and What They Mean
• There are times when a “Low Glucose” or “Going Low” message
will appear along with Sensor glucose reading and Glucose Trend
Arrow.
- “Low Glucose” means your Sensor glucose reading is below 70
mg/dL and possible hypoglycemia.
- “Going Low” means your Sensor glucose reading is expected to
go below 70 mg/dL within the next 15 minutes.
- Treat either condition according to your health care provider’s
recommendations.
Example: “Low Glucose”

What it means
Glucose is rising quickly (more than 2 mg/dL per minute)
Glucose is rising (between 1 and 2 mg/dL per minute)
Glucose is changing slowly (less than 1 mg/dL per
minute)
Glucose is falling (between 1 and 2 mg/dL per minute)
Glucose is falling quickly (more than 2 mg/dL per minute)
• There are other situations where your Sensor is not able to provide
glucose readings or there is a problem with the Sensor. See
Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting
for more information about these
situations and what to do.
IMPORTANT:
During the first 12 hours of Sensor wear “Use Meter”
will display on the White Cap, and you cannot use Sensor values
to make treatment decisions during this time. Confirm Sensor
glucose readings with a blood glucose test before making treatment
decisions during the first 12 hours of Sensor wear when you see
“Use Meter.”
