Don’t:
7. Never take acetaminophen-containing medication during your session (for example,
Tylenol
®
, Excedrin
®
Extra Strength , Sudafed
®
, Robitussin
®
).
a. See your healthcare professional to better understand how long acetaminophen
is active in your body.
8. Never calibrate if your BG values are under 40 mg/dL or over 400 mg/dL.
a. If BG value is outside of this range, receiver doesn’t understand these values
and won’t calibrate.
b. You must wait until your BG is in the range to calibrate.
Be safe—if BG is low, first treat low blood sugar, and then calibrate.

You’ve followed the eight steps above, have a valid BG value from your meter, and your
display device keeps alerting you: Calibrate! Calibrate! Calibrate!
Remember:
You don’t have to take a fingerstick measurement for each display device when calibrating;
once you enter the reading into one; data is pushed to the other within ten minutes.
Next are steps to enter your calibrations using the app, followed by the steps for entering
your calibrations into the receiver.
