21.2. About the DexcomG6 in Automated Mode
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.
While in Automated Mode, the Omnipod 5 System relies on your CGM values
to calculate appropriate automated insulin delivery. CGM values and trends may
also be used by the SmartBolus Calculator.
It is important that your Dexcom G6 is functioning properly. To ensure CGM
accuracy, be aware of your CGM values. If you are experiencing symptoms that do
not align with your CGM values, use a separate BG meter. Refer to your Dexcom
G6 CGM System User Guide for details on inaccurate CGM values.
