produced by the system or might affect the system's performance.

you are getting inaccurate or inconsistent readings, use a fingerstick blood glucose
value from your blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
Do Not Ignore Low/High Symptoms

glucose value from your blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions
or seek immediate medical attention.
