Risks and Side Eects
The glucose alerts and notifications will not audibly notify you when the sound on the mobile device is turned o.
If the system cannot display a glucose value, it also cannot provide glucose alerts. If you are unable to feel the
vibration of the smart transmitter you may not notice the alerts. You may need medical attention in the event that
you have high or low glucose and are unaware of it. The system’s calculated glucose can be slightly dierent from
your blood glucose meter. This may cause an alert to activate at a dierent time than it would have if the system’s
values always matched the blood glucose meter values.
IMPORTANT: If you do not test your glucose with a blood glucose meter when your symptoms are not
consistent with the sensor glucose readings, you may miss a high or low glucose event.
Treatment decisions should be made based on a review of the following: a sensor glucose value, trend arrow, recent
glucose trend graph, and system alerts/notifications. You should not make a treatment decision unless you have
considered all this information. Be sure you talk with your healthcare provider about insulin action, so you understand
how its impact on your glucose may factor into your treatment decisions.
The sensor is inserted by making a small incision and placing it under the skin. The implantation may cause infection,
pain, skin irritation, bruising, skin discolouration or atrophy. Dizziness, fainting and nausea were reported in small
numbers during clinical studies, as were instances of the sensor breaking or not being removed on first attempt.
Additionally, the adhesive may cause a reaction or skin irritation. Any medical issue related to the procedure or use
of the device should be reported to your healthcare provider. The sensor will require an additional removal procedure
at the end of sensor life.
