Glucose or Glucose Going Low message, you will also see the symbol.
Whenever you see the
symbol, do a blood glucose test and treat
based on that result.
No Glucose Trend Arrow
When there is no Glucose Trend Arrow, the System can’t tell if your
glucose is rising quickly or falling quickly and will display the
symbol.
Whenever you see the
symbol, you should do a blood glucose test
and treat based on that result.
No Current Glucose Number
When there is no Current Glucose number, such as when you receive an
error message or a LO or HI result, you don’t have enough information to
make a treatment decision. When there is no Current Glucose you will see
the
symbol. Whenever you see the symbol, do a blood glucose
test and treat based on that result.
Think Your Readings are Incorrect?
Don’t trust Sensor glucose readings that you think may be incorrect or
that don’t match what you would expect based on your recent activity.
For example, if you ate dinner but forgot to take insulin before eating, you
would expect your glucose to be high. If your glucose reading is low, then
it doesn’t match your recent activity, so don’t use it to make treatment
decisions. Don’t make treatment decisions if you think your Sensor glucose
readings are incorrect. Do a blood glucose test and treat based on that
result.
You Have Low or High Blood Glucose Symptoms
Don’t ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose. Do
a blood glucose test and treat based on that result.
Symptoms Don’t Match Readings
There may be times when your symptoms don’t match your Sensor
glucose readings. For example, you are feeling shaky, sweaty, and dizzy –
symptoms you generally get when you have low glucose, but your glucose
reading is within your target range. When symptoms don’t match readings,
do a blood glucose test and treat based on that result. Don’t ignore
symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose.
If you’re the caregiver, pay attention to times when the symptoms of the
one you’re caring for don’t match their Sensor glucose readings. When
symptoms don’t match readings, do a blood glucose test and treat based
on that result.
Note: The
symbol will NOT display in these situations.
When to do Nothing and Scan Again Later
Your health care professional can help you understand when doing
nothing and scanning again later is the right treatment decision. For
example, if your glucose is high and going up, your rst instinct may be to
take more insulin to lower your glucose, however depending on when you
last took insulin or your recent activity, the right treatment decision may
be to do nothing and scan again later.
Don’t take a correction dose within 2 hours of your meal dose. This may
result in “insulin stacking” and low glucose.
