7.2 Safety Statements
Contraindication
Don’t:
Never take any medications containing acetaminophen during your
sensor session.
Why:
Taking medications with acetaminophen (such as Tylenol or
Excedrin Extra Strength) while wearing your sensor may falsely raise
sensor glucose readings. Level of sensor inaccuracy:
1.
Depends on amount of acetaminophen active in your body.
2.
May be different for each person.
Consequences:
Without correct readings you might miss a severe low
glucose event.
Warning
Don’t:
Never use the G5 Mobile sensor glucose readings for treatment
decisions.
Do:
Only use BG values from your BG meter for treatment decisions (for
example, how much insulin to take).
Why:
Since they measure your glucose from different body fluids, sensor
glucose readings can be different from your meter’s BG values.
Consequences:
Using sensor glucose readings for treatment decisions
could result in you missing a severe low or high glucose event.
