When to use your blood glucose
meter for treatment decisions
You can use your GlucoMen Day CGM to make treatment
decisions without taking a blood glucose test. Although in
most cases you can use your GlucoMen Day CGM to make
treatment decisions, it is important to understand situa-
tions when you do need to perform a blood glucose test
before making treatment decisions.
IMPORTANT: When using the GlucoMen Day CGM,
always carry a blood glucose meter.
When to use
your blood
glucose meter
You have symptoms of
low blood glucose or your
symptoms don't match the
glucose level displayed on
the CGM.
You question the glucose
level displayed on the CGM.
Your CGM does not display a
current glucose level.
Your CGM does not display a
trend arrow.
Why you need to use
your blood glucose meter
If the glucose level on the CGM does
not match your symptoms, you should
perform a blood glucose test using
your meter and treat accordingly.
If the glucose level displayed on the
CGM is not what you expected to see,
perform a blood glucose test to ensure
you make the correct treatment deci-
sion.
If the CGM does not display a glucose
level, the only way to know your cur-
rent glucose level is to perform a blood
glucose test with your meter.
If the CGM does not display a trend
arrow, the CGM does not have enou-
gh information to provide a trend and
should not be used for treatment de-
cisions.
When to use
your blood
glucose meter
Your CGM is displaying
estimated glucose values
(ESTIMATED GLUCOSE
