XI. TREATMENT DECISIONS
Before you start using the RIGHTEST CGMs for treatment decisions, make sure you are familiar with
the tips provided in this chapter and you have a good understanding of how the system works.
• Continue to use your blood glucose meter for treatment decisions until you are comfortable with
the information you receive.
• Getting familiar with the system could take days, weeks, or even months.
• Work with your healthcare practitioner and follow his/her recommendation to put together a plan
for making treatment decisions.
• Trace your note logs often to see how carbs, medication, exercise, illness, or stress levels impact
your sensor glucose reading.
WARNINGS :
DO NOT Ignore Low/High Blood Glucose Symptoms. If your glucose readings do not
match what you are feeling, use your blood glucose meter; or, if needed, consult your
healthcare practitioner.
Use a Blood Glucose (BG) Meter To Make Treatment Decisions Under The Following
Conditions:
• During the first 2-hour warmup period when you start a new sensor. You won’t get any
sensor readings, alarm/alerts until your system begins to transmit data.
• If you suspect that your sensor readings may be inaccurate for any reason.
• If your sensor readings do not match what you are feeling.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose.
• If your sensor readings do not include your current glucose concentration or a glucose
trend arrow.
• If you wish to confirm hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia as reported by the sensor.
• If you are experiencing rapid glucose changes (more than 2 mg/dL per minute), the sensor
readings displayed may be less accurate and not as timely.
