Taking more than 500 mg of ascorbic acid per day may affect the Sensor readings which could cause you to miss a
severe low glucose event. Ascorbic acid can be found in supplements including multivitamins. Some supplements,
including cold remedies such as Airborne® and Emergen-C®, may contain high doses of 1000 mg of ascorbic acid
and should not be taken while using the Sensor. See your healthcare professional to understand how long ascorbic
acid is active in your body.
WARNING:
The System can replace blood glucose testing except in the below situations. These are the times when you need to
do a blood glucose test before deciding what to do or what treatment decision to make as Sensor readings may not
accurately reflect blood glucose levels:
Do a blood glucose test if you think your glucose readings are not correct or do not match how you feel. Do not
ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high glucose.
Do a blood glucose test when you see the symbol during the first 12 hours of wearing a Sensor or the Sensor
glucose reading does not include a Current Glucose number.
Using Sensor Glucose Readings for Treatment Decisions
After you scan your Sensor, use all of the information on the screen when deciding what to do or what
treatment decision to make.
