Chapter 5: Treatment; Decisions; Instead Of G6 - Dexcom G6 Instructions For Use Manual

Chapter 5: Treatment Decisions
With Dexcom, you can make treatment decisions without using your
blood glucose (BG) meter (meter).
12.4 51
Whether you are new to Dexcom or experienced, you should keep using
mmol/L mg/dL
your meter to make treatment decisions until you know how Dexcom
works for you. Do not rush! It may take days, weeks, or months for you to gain
confidence in using your CGM to make treatment decisions.
Sometimes you must use your meter instead of the G6. And other times it is best not
to treat, just watch and wait.
Work with your healthcare professional to review what works best for you when
making treatment decisions.
