Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's guidance on
appropriate 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. Once connected, CGM values are
displayed and can be used in the Omnipod 5 App in both Manual and Automated
Modes. 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 217.
• You are experiencing symptoms of hyperglycemia. See "Symptoms of
hyperglycemia (high glucose)" on page 220.
• You are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your CGM
values.
• Your CGM requires calibration. For more information, refer to your Dexcom
G6 CGM System User Guide.
• You are not using a CGM to monitor glucose.
• Your healthcare provider advises you to do so.
