Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's guidance on appropriate
glucose monitoring to avoid hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia.
Warning: Glucose below 3.9 mmol/L may indicate hypoglycaemia
(low glucose). Glucose above 13.9 mmol/L may indicate hyperglycaemia
(high glucose). Follow your healthcare provider's suggestions for treatment.
Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat hypoglycaemia. Glucose at or below
3.1 mmol/L indicates signicant hypoglycaemia (very low glucose). If le
untreated, this could lead to seizure, loss of consciousness and death. Follow
your healthcare provider's recommendations for treatment
Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat glucose below 3.9 mmol/L
(hypoglycaemia) according to your healthcare provider's recommendations.
Symptoms of hypoglycaemia include weakness, sweating, nervousness,
headache or confusion. If le untreated, hypoglycaemia could lead to seizure,
loss of consciousness or death.
Warning: DO NOT wait to treat hypoglycaemia (low glucose) or symptoms
of hypoglycaemia. Even if you cannot check your glucose, waiting to treat
symptoms could lead to severe hypoglycaemia, which can lead to seizure, loss of
consciousness or death.
Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat hyperglycaemia (high glucose) according
to your healthcare provider's recommendations. Symptoms of hyperglycaemia
include fatigue, thirst, excess urination or blurry vision. If le untreated,
hyperglycaemia could lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or death.
Warning: DO NOT wait to treat DKA. If le untreated, DKA can quickly lead
to breathing diculties, shock, coma or death.
Warning: ALWAYS treat “LOW” or “HIGH” sensor glucose values and blood
glucose readings according to your healthcare provider's recommendations.
ese values can indicate potentially serious conditions requiring immediate
medical attention. If le untreated, these situations can quickly lead to diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA), shock, coma or death.
