Freestyle Libre 14 day - Making Treatment Decisions - Getting Started; Initial Use and Familiarization

Making Treatment Decisions – Getting Started
Before you start using the System for treatment decisions, make sure
you have a good understanding of how the System works for your body.
Continue to use your blood glucose meter for treatment decisions
until you are comfortable with the information you receive from your
System. This includes understanding that: Sensor performance can vary in
between Sensors, within a Sensor wear, and in dierent situations.
Getting familiar with the System could take days, weeks, or even months.
The more you check readings from the System with a blood glucose meter,
the better you will understand how the System works for you.
Work with your health care professional to put together a plan for
managing your diabetes that includes when to use the System
information for making treatment decisions.
Helpful Tips
• Conrm your Sensor glucose readings with a blood glucose meter until
you understand:
• Sensor accuracy may vary between Sensors.
• Sensor accuracy may vary during a Sensor wear session.
• Sensor accuracy may vary in dierent situations (meals, exercise, rst
day of use, etc.).
• Scan your Sensor often to see how carbs, medication, exercise, illness,
or stress levels impact your Sensor glucose readings. The information
you get can help you gure out why your glucose sometimes goes too
high or too low, and how to prevent it from doing so in the future.
