Making Treatment Decisions

Work with your health care professional to put together a plan for
managing your diabetes that includes when to use the System information
for making treatment decisions. You should also talk to your health care
professional about the best times to scan your Sensor. Consider scanning
your Sensor before a period when you will not be monitoring your
glucose, such as before driving, exercise or sleeping.
WARNING: The System can replace blood glucose testing except in
the below situations. These are the times when you need to do a blood
glucose test before deciding what to do or what treatment decision to
make as Sensor readings may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels:
Do a blood glucose test if you think your
glucose readings are not correct or do not
match how you feel. Do not ignore symptoms
that may be due to low or high glucose.
Do a blood glucose test when you see the
symbol during the first 12 hours of wearing a
Sensor or the Sensor glucose reading does not
include a Current Glucose number.

Making Treatment Decisions – Getting Started
Before you start using the System for treatment decisions, make sure
you have a good understanding of how the System works for your body.
Continue to use your blood glucose meter for treatment decisions
until you are comfortable with the information you receive from your
System. This includes understanding that: Sensor performance can vary
in between Sensors, within a Sensor wear period (up to 14 days), and in
different situations. There may be variations between Sensors during the
first 12 hours after insertion, so pay attention to how each newly inserted
Sensor is working for you when deciding whether to make treatment
decisions based on your Sensor readings.
Getting familiar with the System could take days, weeks, or even months.
The more you check readings from the System with a blood glucose meter,
the better you will understand how the System works for you.
Work with your health care professional to put together a plan for
managing your diabetes that includes when to use the System information
for making treatment decisions.
Helpful Tips
•
Confirm your Sensor glucose readings with a blood glucose meter until
you understand:
• Sensor accuracy may vary between Sensors.
• Sensor accuracy may vary during a Sensor wear session.
• Sensor accuracy may vary in different situations (meals, exercise, first
day of use, etc.).
