What are the best times to calibrate the system?
It is suggested that you calibrate your system at the following times:
•Before meals
• Before going to bed
What should I do if I have my RF meter is set to automatically transmit my fingerstick BG
measurement and my blood glucose is changing rapidly when I take the measurement?
It is recommended that you check the sensor glucose (SG) information on your monitor before taking a
fingerstick BG measurement. If the SG information shows rapid changes, then turn off the wireless
communication feature before taking your fingerstick BG measurement. After you take the BG
measurement, you may turn the wireless communication feature back on.
What happens if I do not calibrate often enough?
This example assumes that you are using the Cal Reminder default setting of one hour.
Time since last calibration What happens
At least 11 hours If you have not changed the default Cal Reminder setting (one hour),
the system reminds you to calibrate the system by sending a METER
BG BY alert one hour before your next calibration is due.
You can change the CAL REMINDER alert setting so that you receive an
alert earlier than the default.
At least 12 hours
• The system sends you a METER BG NOW alert.
• The system stops taking real-time glucose measurements.
• The system stops sending alerts when you reach your High/Low Glucose
limits.
