To use your G4-Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
you will need a Sensor, a Transmitter, and a Receiver. You will
also need a blood glucose meter and test strips for calibration.
Once inserted and calibrated, the Sensor will continuously
measure and display your glucose readings for up to 7 days
(167 hours after the 1-hour Startup period). The following
sections will show you how to insert the Sensor and start a new
continuous glucose monitoring session.
