10.1. About Blood Glucose Readings
Warning: Follow the guidance of your healthcare provider for proper blood
glucose monitoring to avoid hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
e Omnipod 5 System receives regular glucose values from the CGM when you
have connected the CGM to an active Pod. 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 hypoglycemia. See "Symptoms of
hypoglycemia (low glucose)" on page 277.
• You are experiencing symptoms of hyperglycemia. See "Symptoms of
hyperglycemia (high glucose)" on page 280.
• You are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your CGM
glucose values.
• Your CGM requires calibration. For more information, refer to your
compatible CGM User Guide.
• You are not using a CGM to monitor glucose levels.
• Your healthcare provider advises you to do so.
