CONTRAINDICATION
Don't: Never take any medications containing acetaminophen during your sensor session.
Why: Taking medications with acetaminophen (such as Tylenol or Excedrin Extra Strength)
while wearing sensor may falsely raise sensor glucose readings. Level of inaccuracy
depends on:
1. Amount of acetaminophen active in your body.
2. May be different for each person.
Consequences: Without correct readings you might miss a severe low event.
WARNING
Don't: Never use the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System sensor glucose readings for
treatment decisions.
Do: Only use BG values from your BG meter for treatment decisions (e.g., how much
insulin to take).
Why: Since they measure your glucose from different body fluids, sensor glucose readings
can be different from your meter's blood glucose values.
Consequences: Using sensor glucose readings for treatment decisions could result in you
missing a severe low or high event.
WARNING
Don't: Never ignore symptoms of high and low glucose.
Do: Measure your blood glucose with fingerstick measurement if sensor glucose readings
don't match your symptoms.
Why: Your sensor glucose readings may not be accurately reading your glucose.
Consequences: Using sensor glucose readings for treatment decisions could result
having severe low (hypoglycemia) or high (hyperglycemia) events.

9.3 Overview of Home Screen

Regardless of your display device, the home screen shows your current sensor glucose value,
glucose trend, rate of change arrow and CGM system status. While the screen does look
different between the receiver and smart devices, their information and color coding are
the same.
