No Fingerstick Calibrations
With the G6, there is no need to calibrate! After entering the sensor code, you will
not receive any calibration prompts.
10 Day Sensor Session
Your sensor session lasts 10 days! Settings show when your session will be over so
you can plan ahead.
Urgent Low Soon Alert
The Urgent Low Soon Alert lets you know when you glucose is falling so fast it will
drop to 3.1 mmol/L in less than 20 minutes. This gives you time to prevent yourself
from going too low.
Paracetamol/acetaminophen Blocking
Previously, paracetamol/acetaminophen could affect your readings, making
them look higher than they really were. With the G6, you can take paracetamol/
acetaminophen and still use the G6 readings.
