Calibration Schedule
Below is a sample calibration schedule. In this example, you inserted your sensor Monday at 8 am and were then asked to:
• Enter two calibrations Monday at 10 am
• Enter a third calibration at 10 pm
• Enter a fourth calibration 12 hours later, at 10 am on Tuesday
• Enter calibrations once a day starting at 10 am Wednesday for the rest of your sensor session
Enter a Calibration
Once your sensor warmup is complete, your display device tells you it's time to enter the first of your double calibration. Use two separate
meter readings, taken within 5 minutes of each other.
If you don't enter your BG values right away, the system reminds you every 15 minutes. You know how important calibration is for system
accuracy, so don't wait — calibrate!
Below are steps to enter your calibrations using the app, followed by steps for entering your calibrations into the receiver. You only need to
enter calibrations into one display device.
App: Calibration
