Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's guidance on
appropriate glucose monitoring to avoid hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia.
e Omnipod 5 System receives regular glucose values from the Sensor when you
have connected the Transmitter to an active Pod. Once connected, sensor glucose
values are displayed and can be used in the Omnipod 5 App in both Manual
and Automated Mode. ere may be times when you need to check your blood
glucose using a separate BG meter. You may want to check your blood glucose if:
• You are experiencing symptoms of hypoglycaemia. See “Symptoms of
hypoglycaemia (low glucose)” on page 191.
• You are experiencing symptoms of hyperglycaemia. See “Symptoms of
hyperglycaemia (high glucose)” on page 194.
• You are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your sensor
glucose values.
• Your Sensor requires calibration. For more information, refer to your
Dexcom G6 CGM System Instructions for Use.
• You are not using a Sensor to monitor glucose.
• Your healthcare provider advises you to do so.
