Treatment Decisions
When to NOT Make a Treatment Decision
• When you suspect that your sensor blood glucose readings may be inaccurate for any reason.
• When your sensor blood glucose readings do not match what you are feeling.
• When you are experiencing symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose.
• When the Receiver displays no glucose information (e.g. an interrupt alert).
WHEN NOT TO USE SENSOR READINGS WHEN MAKING TREATMENT DECISIONS
You must NOT make treatment decisions based on your sensor glucose reading in the following
situations:
When to NOT Make a Treatment Decision
Glucose is Falling/Rising Rapidly (with upwards/ downward pointing arrow): Glucose measured
in interstitial fluid may differ substantially from blood glucose levels, particularly at times of rapid
glucose change (e.g. after meals, taking insulin, or exercising).
Low Glucose or Urgent Low Message: Sensor glucose readings may not accurately reflect your
blood glucose.
No Glucose Trend Arrow: During the first 2-hour warmup period when you start a new sensor, the
system cannot tell you if your glucose is rising quickly or falling quickly.
No Current Glucose Concentration and Trend Arrow: When there is a HIGH/LOW result, you
don’t have enough information to make a treatment decision.

PRECAUTIONS :
Sensor Readings may be Different from BG Values. During periods of rapid change in
blood glucose (e.g. after eating, dosing insulin, or exercising), you may observe differences
in glucose readings between interstitial fluid and capillary blood. Because of physiological
differences between body fluids, the sensor readings may be different from fingerstick blood
glucose values using BG meters. Calibration may help align the sensor readings and BG
meter values. Confirm your blood glucose values with BG meters before making treatment
decisions.
