Import and Use CGM Value
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 dened 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.
If a CGM is connected, you can use the current CGM value and trend in both
Manual and Automated Modes:
