Enter Bg Meter Value Every 12 Hours - Dexcom G5 mobile Quick Start Manual

5.3 Enter BG Meter Value Every 12 Hours

After your initial BG meter values, BG meter values must be entered once every 12
hours at a minimum.
Tips for Entering BG Meter Values
Do enter BG Meter Values:
• After washing and drying your hands
• Within 5 minutes of obtaining the value from your BG meter
• Using the exact number from your BG meter
• Using only fingerstick blood glucose values
Don't enter BG Meter Values:
• If you see a ??? (question mark) or signal loss error on the screen
• After you have taken acetaminophen (such as Tylenol
• If your BG meter value is higher than 400 mg/dL or lower than 40 mg/dL
When using both the app and the receiver at the same time, you should enter BG
meter value in only 1 device. When you enter a value into one device, the sensor
glucose values may be different on the other display device until the transmitter shares
the entered value.
The meter icon shows a red
badge when a BG meter value
is needed.
WARNING: Calibrate at least once every 12
hours. Calibrating less often than every 12
hours might cause sensor glucose readings
to be inaccurate, resulting in you missing a
severe low or high glucose event.
