WARNINGS – Using Dexcom
G5 Mobile CGM with your
t:slim X2 Insulin Pump
DO NOT ignore symptoms of high and
low glucose. If your sensor glucose
alerts and readings do not match your
symptoms, measure your blood glu-
cose with a blood glucose meter even
if your sensor is not reading in the high
or low range.
CALIBRATE your CGM at least once
every 12 hours. Calibrating less often
than every 12 hours might cause sen-
sor glucose readings to be inaccurate
and glucose alerts to become unre-
liable. This could result in you miss-
ing severe hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood
glucose) events.
DO NOT ignore sensor fractures. Sen-
sors may fracture on rare occasions. If
a sensor breaks and no portion of it is
visible above the skin, do not attempt
to remove it. Seek professional medical
help if you have symptoms of infection
or inflammation—redness, swelling
or pain—at the insertion site. If you
experience a broken sensor, please
