It is a good idea to set up a troubleshooting procedure to use anytime you suspect something might
be wrong. Work with your HCP to establish guidelines in the event of a problem.

WARNING: Low BG is a risk for anyone using insulin therapy. You may experience one or
more of the following symptoms:
Shakiness; rapid heart rate; nervousness; perspiration; cold, clammy skin; weakness;
˚
blurred or double vision; sudden hunger; tingling in your hands, lips, or tongue; headache
and confusion.
• If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia, you should immediately eat a quick-acting
carbohydrate (glucose tablets, juice, or hard candy).
• If your BG is abnormally low, DO NOT attempt to program your pump yourself. Get help.
• Treat hypoglycemia immediately.
• If you are using the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter with your pump, DO
