176Chapter 11: Treatment Decisions
WARNING
Don’t Ignore Low/High Symptoms
Don’t ignore how you feel. If your glucose alerts and G6 readings don’t match what
you’re feeling, use your blood glucose meter (meter) to make diabetes treatment
decisions or, if needed, seek immediate medical attention.
When in doubt, get your meter out.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don’t, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
When that happens, treat if you need to. Then if you want, calibrate to align your
sensor with your meter. If you do calibrate, make sure you wash and dry your hands
before taking a fingerstick.
No Arrow, No Number, No G6 Treatment Decisions
To make a treatment decision, make sure all the information is on your G6. Anytime
you don’t have a number and arrow on your home screen, use your meter to get a
value to make treatment decisions. If your home screen shows Signal Loss or Low or
High instead of a G6 reading, use your meter.
You may have a number but not an arrow or vice versa. If that happens, use your
meter.
