Precautions

• CGMS readings should only be used as a reference for the supplemental moni
toring of diabetes mellitus and should not be used as a basis for clinical diagno
ses.
• The CGMS should be completely removed before magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and replaced afterwards.
• The CGMS contains many small parts that can be dangerous if swallowed.
• During rapid changes in blood sugar (more than 0.1mmol/L per minute), glucose
levels measured in interstitial fluid by the CGMS may not be the same as blood
sugar levels. When blood sugar levels drop rapidly, the sensor may produce a
higher reading than the blood sugar level; Conversely, when blood sugar levels
rise rapidly, the sensor may produce a lower reading than the blood sugar level.
In these cases, the sensor readings are checked by using a blood glucose meter
for a fingertip blood test.
