Sensor Glucose Readings - Dexcom G4 Platinum User Manual

8
The greatest benefit you get from using your Dexcom G4
PLATINUM (Pediatric) System will come from the trending
information. It is important that you focus on the trends and
rate of change on your receiver, rather than the exact sensor
glucose reading.
If you have trouble reading your receiver in bright sunlight, find a
shady spot.
WARNING
Do not use the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM (Pediatric)
System for treatment decisions, such as how much
insulin you should take. The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM
(Pediatric) System does not replace a blood glucose
meter. Always use the values from your blood glucose
meter for treatment decisions. Blood glucose values
may differ from sensor glucose readings. Solely
relying on the sensor glucose alerts and readings for
treatment decisions could result in you missing severe
hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high
blood glucose) events.
