Number of Readings Provided
The System is capable of providing a reading up to every 5 minutes, or up to
288 readings per day. For a variety of reasons, the System may not display
a glucose reading and readings are "skipped." Table 7 estimates the number
of readings you can expect to receive from the System over the entire 7-day
period after calibration. For example, 93% of Systems provided between 1,707
and 1,992 valid glucose readings (or more than 76% of the expected number
of readings). Adjusted within each system wear day, the System provided an
average of 96% of all expected glucose readings (288) as seen in Table 8.

Agreement and Accuracy at Home
During the study, agreement between the System and blood glucose values
is also characterized using paired System and SMBG results. The System
and SMBG values were compared by pairing the comparative SMBG value
to a System glucose reading that occurred immediately after the SMBG was
collected. These results present the performance patients expect during real
time use of the system in their daily diabetes management when comparing the
system readings to their home blood glucose meter results.

Questions and answers
The mom set a high ceiling of 300. How do I get to an actual number and not a "high" reading
You can adjust the high glucose alert value on the Dexcom G4 by following these steps:
1. Press the button to select “High Alert.”
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to highlight “On/Off” and press the SELECT button to set this option.
3. Press the LEFT button to return to the previous screen.
4. Press the DOWN button to highlight “Level.”
5. Press the SELECT button and then use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the high glucose alert value.
6. The high glucose alert value can be set between 6.7 and 22.2 mmol/L in 0.1 mmol/L increments.
7. Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.
This adjustment allows you to set a specific threshold instead of receiving a general "high" reading.
