Important Safety InformationImportant Safety Information
you cannot check your glucose, waiting
to treat symptoms could lead to severe
hypoglycemia, which can lead to
seizure, loss of consciousness, or death.
Warning: ALWAYS promptly
treat hyperglycemia (high glucose)
according to your healthcare provider's
recommendations. Symptoms of
hyperglycemia include fatigue, thirst,
excess urination, or blurry vision. If le
untreated, hyperglycemia could lead to
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or death.
Warning: ALWAYS treat "LOW"
or "HIGH" CGM values and "LO"
or "HI" 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: ALWAYS be aware of
your current CGM 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 hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
may still occur.
If your CGM values do not match your
symptoms, ALWAYS check your blood
glucose using a BG meter, consider
treatment and/or CGM sensor
calibration if necessary. ALWAYS
switch to Manual Mode if you feel you
are receiving inaccurate CGM values.
• Erroneously high CGM values can
cause excessive insulin delivery,
leading to severe hypoglycemia,
seizure, loss of consciousness or
death.
• Erroneously low CGM
values can cause prolonged
insulin suspension leading to
hyperglycemia, DKA, or death.
If you are having symptoms that are
not consistent with your blood glucose
readings and you have followed all
instructions described in this User
Guide, contact your healthcare
provider.
