over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycaemia or
hyperglycaemia. Settings that impact bolus calculations mainly include: Max
Bolus, Minimum Glucose for Calculations, Correct Above, Correction Factor(s),
Insulin to Carb (IC) ratio(s), Duration of Insulin Action and Target Glucose.
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 or 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 can 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 can 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.
Warning: NEVER drive yourself to the emergency department if you need
emergency medical care. Ask a friend or family member to take you to the
emergency department or call an ambulance.
Warning: ALWAYS be aware of your current sensor glucose value, trust how
your body feels, and do not ignore symptoms of high and low glucose. Even
though insulin delivery adjusts automatically in Automated Mode, with the
goal of bringing your glucose level to your dened Target Glucose, severe
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia may still occur.
