Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 2
The White Cap can also display the amount of Correction Insulin and
Mealtime Insulin based upon the settings your health care provider has
recommended for you. If you take an insulin dose, the time of the last
dose is displayed on the Cap and sent to the App.
2.5 Monitoring Glucose with the Sensor
Bigfoot Unity uses the Sensor to measure your glucose
in the interstitial uid just below the skin surface. Sensor
readings are displayed on your White Cap. To help keep
you informed, glucose or Sensor status messages will
appear on the App Home screen.
You will need to actively scan your Sensor with the
White Cap to display your current glucose reading and Trend Arrow.
Every time you scan the Sensor with the White Cap, the last 8 hours
of Sensor glucose data will be recorded in the App history. Sensor
glucose patterns and trends in history may help you with your diabetes
self-care. Behind the scenes, your App is also continuously monitoring
your Sensor readings and can alert you on your phone if your glucose
level is low or if there is a problem with your Sensor.
2.6 Monitoring Glucose with the Meter
When you use a Meter, you use a drop of blood
from your ngertip to measure your blood
glucose. Blood glucose results taken with the
Bigfoot Meter can be displayed on the White
Cap and on the App.
Because a Meter measures glucose in blood versus uid under the skin,
there may be a slight difference between Meter and Sensor results,
especially when glucose is changing rapidly. This small difference
should not affect your diabetes self-care. Talk to your health care
provider to learn more about the difference between the two methods
of measuring glucose.
There will be times when a meter blood glucose reading is required to
conrm a Sensor glucose reading. This will be described later in this
User Guide.
Having a Sensor and a Meter available to measure your glucose provides
exibility for obtaining a glucose measurement when you need it.
