Two hours after the Sensor Start the METER BG NOW alarm should sound when the system is ready for
you to enter a BG meter value for initial calibration.
• CLEAR the alarm: ESC then ACT
• Take a BG measurement using a meter and enter the value into the pump or monitor as
follows:
If you are using an insulin pump, it is preferable to use the Bolus Wizard calculator:
• Press > ENTER BG > BG TO UPDATE SENSOR: (SELECT) YES
If you are using a Guardian monitor:
• Press ACT > Main Menu > Sensor > Enter Meter BG > Press ACT
Your CGM will be displayed on the graph screen in about 15 minutes.
A second calibration will be needed in about 6 hours after the rst one. Blood glucose calibration will
then be required at a minimum of every 12 hours. More is not better in the case of calibrations!
Too many can throw o the algorithm that is being used to calculate sensor glucose.
Check which pump you are using, or if you are using the Guardian monitor.
Note! You will not be able to view any sensor readings until after 2 hours initialisation.

A good time to program your glucose sensor settings into your insulin pump is after glucose sensor
insertion, while the glucose sensor is still wetting with interstitial uid.
Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine your initial settings.

Remember. . .
• ALWAYS use the same blood glucose meter
• ALWAYS CALIBRATE when your blood glucose is stable
• DO NOT CALIBRATE IF your blood glucose is changing rapidly, i.e. soon after a meal,
and/or if there is an alert present or trend arrows are present
• REMEMBER TO CALIBRATE the sensor before going to bed so that you do not have to get
up during the night
• If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your healthcare professional
before making therapy adjustments
