3.6 Cap and App Usage
What to know Before you Begin Use
WARNINGS
• Do NOT ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood
glucose: If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent
with your glucose readings, consult your health care provider.
• Consult with your health care provider to make sure you have a
backup diabetes management plan and diabetes supplies if parts
of Bigfoot Unity are lost or stop working. Having a backup plan and
supplies can help avoid severe high or low glucose if you cannot use
Bigfoot Unity.
• Bigfoot Unity only records doses taken with the insulin pens you use
with the Caps. If you take a dose of insulin without using Bigfoot
Unity, make sure you keep track of the time you took insulin and
check your glucose frequently. Allowing time for the insulin to work
prior to taking another dose can help prevent severe low glucose.
• Bigfoot Unity does NOT adjust insulin doses on your insulin pen and
does NOT record how much insulin you take. When Bigfoot Unity
displays insulin dose information, you are responsible for deciding
how much insulin to take and giving the injection.
• Always use your Bigfoot Meter for diabetes treatment decisions
when: (1) Sensor data is not available, (2) when you see the words
“Use Meter” on the White Cap, or (3) if your Sensor glucose reading
does not match how you feel. Using your Meter will provide you with
a glucose reading that you may use to decide how much insulin to
take and help prevent severe low or high glucose.
What to know about Daily Use
WARNINGS
• Always check that the insulin name displayed on the Cap matches
the name on the insulin pen you intend to use before making a
diabetes treatment decision. If you take a dose with the wrong
insulin you could take too much or too little insulin, which may result
in severe low or high glucose.
