Calibrate Description
Six hours after your
first calibration.
Do your second sensor calibration.
Six hours after you calibrate for the first time, a Calibrate now
alert appears, and your pump stops calculating your SG values.
It takes about 5 to 15 minutes after you calibrate to receive SG
values again.
Within 12 hours after
your second
calibration and at
least every 12 hours
thereafter.
After you do your second calibration, you need to calibrate at
least every 12 hours.
If you do not calibrate for more than 12 hours, a Calibrate now
alert appears. It takes about 5 to 15 minutes after you calibrate
to receive SG values again.
Guidelines for calibrating
Follow these guidelines for best sensor calibration results:
• Calibrate three to four times spread out throughout the day to improve
accuracy. For details, see When to calibrate, on page 186.
• You can calibrate anytime. However, calibrating with two or three trend
arrows may temporarily decrease accuracy until the next calibration. For an
example of trend arrows on the Home screen, see Home screen with CGM, on
page 153.
• Always calibrate immediately after testing your BG. Never calibrate with a BG
meter reading that you have taken more than 12 minutes earlier as that BG
value would no longer be considered valid.
• Always use clean, dry fingers when you test your blood glucose levels.
• Use only your fingertips when obtaining blood samples for calibration.
Note: If your BG meter readings are significantly different than your
sensor glucose readings, you need to wash your hands and calibrate
again.
