• Take Healthcare Professional Advice
Has your healthcare professional given you self-
monitoring tasks? You should keep doing them.
Having Followers does not replace medical advice.
Follow Dexcom ONE instructions. If you do not, you
could have a severe low or high glucose event.
Precaution
• Avoid sunscreen and insect repellent
Some skin care products, such as sunscreens
and insect repellents, can make the plastic used
in your Dexcom ONE crack. Before using your
Dexcom ONE, make sure there are no cracks in
your transmitter and transmitter holder. If you
find a crack, please contact Technical Support
at dexcom.com, or contact your local Dexcom
representative. Do not allow these skin care
products to contact your Dexcom ONE. After
using skin care products, wash your hands
before touching your Dexcom ONE. If any
skin care products get on your Dexcom ONE,
immediately wipe with a clean cloth.
• Hydroxyurea precaution
If you are taking hydroxyurea, your Dexcom ONE
readings may be falsely elevated and result in
missed hypoglycemia alerts or errors in diabetes
management decisions. The level of inaccuracy
depends on the amount of hydroxyurea in your
body. Use your BG meter.
• Going through security check point
When wearing your Dexcom ONE, ask for
hand-wanding or full-body pat-down and
visual inspection instead of going through
the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body
scanner (also called a millimeter wave scanner)
or putting any part of the Dexcom ONE system
in the baggage x-ray machine.
You can wear Dexcom ONE for the walk-through
metal detector. If you do, use your BG meter for
treatment decisions until you leave the security
area.
Because we have not tested every x-ray and
scanner, we do not know if they damage
Dexcom ONE.
