Entering Other markers
This section shows you how to enter markers other than Enter BG, Insulin Marker, Meal Marker, or Exercise
Marker. When you enter Other markers, you only enter the type of marker (Other); the time is
automatically recorded by the system. Examples of Other markers include: when you take medications,
when you feel ill, when you are under stress, etc. These markers then create reports that appear with the
name of the marker (Other) and the time you entered it.
To enter Other markers:
1 Go to the OTHER screen.
Main > Capture Event > Other
A message appears: Do you want to enter an Other marker?
2 Select Yes, then press ACT. Your monitor saves your Other marker and returns to the CAPTURE EVENT
screen.
Reading the sensor glucose graphs
Your monitor shows an updated, real-time glucose value every five minutes. This value is generated by
data sent from the sensor to the transmitter, and then to the monitor, where it is converted to a glucose
value shown as 3, 6, 12 and 24 hour graphs. Make sure your graph screen does not say DEMO in the upper
left corner. If it does, you must turn the Sensor Demo off. The graphs include the following information:
• The most recent sensor glucose or the reason that a sensor glucose value is not displayed.
• The historical sensor glucose value taken for the last 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours, including the value and the
time the sensor glucose value was taken, or the reason it is not displayed.
• Arrows that show the relative rate at which the most recent sensor glucose levels are rising or falling.
Your monitor does not alert every time it does not receive an SG value. Therefore your alarm or alert
history may not match the number of times your graphs do not show an SG value. The following conditions
can prevent a real-time sensor glucose value from being displayed:
•A Lost Sensor alert.
•A Sensor Error alert.
•A Change Sensor alert.
•A Cal Error alert.
• Find Lost Sensor (15 minutes).
•Weak Signal.
