Precautions

• CGM readings should not be used to make treatment
decisions but rather to detect blood glucose trends
and track patterns in persons with diabetes.
• The CGMS should be completely removed before
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
• The CGMS contains many small parts that can be
dangerous if swallowed.
• During rapid changes in blood glucose (more than
0.1mmol/L per minute), glucose levels measured in
interstitial fluid by the CGMS may not be the same
as blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels
drop rapidly, the sensor may produce a higher
reading than the blood glucose level . Conversely,
when blood glucose levels rise rapidly, the sensor
may produce a lower reading than the blood glucose
level. When experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia
or hyperglycemia, the sensor readings should be
confirmed with a fingertip blood glucose test, using a
blood glucose meter.
