Specific risks related to sensor use
Taking medications with acetaminophen, including, but not limited to Tylenol,
fever reducers, or cold medicine, while wearing the sensor may falsely raise your
SG readings. The level of inaccuracy depends on the amount of acetaminophen
active in your body and may be different for each person. Always use BG meter
readings to verify your glucose level before making therapy decisions, including
when you could have acetaminophen active in your body. Avoid taking
medications with acetaminophen while in Auto Mode. If acetaminophen is taken,
use additional BG meter readings to verify your glucose levels, and consider exiting
Auto Mode. Do not use these additional BG meter readings to calibrate the sensor.
Always check the label of any medications to confirm whether acetaminophen is
an active ingredient.
For persons two to thirteen years of age, sensor placement and insertion has been
studied in the belly (abdomen) and buttocks only and is not approved for other
sites.
