Treatment Decisions; When To Use Your Bg Meter Instead Of Dexcom One - Dexcom ONE+ User Manual

5 • Treatment decisions
With Dexcom ONE+, you can treat without using your blood glucose meter (BG meter). But don't rush it. You should keep using
your BG meter to make treatment decisions until you know how Dexcom ONE+ works for you. Sometimes you must use your
BG meter instead of Dexcom ONE+. Other times, it's best not to treat, just watch and wait.
Work with your healthcare provider to figure out what's best for you when making treatment decisions. Always use your
healthcare provider's instructions to treat.

Symptoms don't match sensor readings
When your sensor reading doesn't match how you feel, use your BG meter to treat—even if you have
both a number and an arrow.
For example, you don't feel well, but your sensor readings show you're in range. Wash your hands
thoroughly, and use your BG meter. If the BG meter value matches your symptoms, use the BG meter
value to treat.
