Treatment Decisions; When To Use Your Bg Meter Instead Of G7 - Dexcom G7 User Manual

4 • Treatment Decisions
With G7, 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 G7 works for you. Sometimes you must use your BG meter instead of G7.
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 their instructions to treat.
