Scan your Sensor often to see how carbs, medication, exercise, illness, or
stress levels impact your Sensor glucose readings. The information you get
can help you figure out why your glucose sometimes goes too high or too low,
and how to prevent it from doing so in the future.
Talk to your health care professional about how your insulin works. The more
you understand about your insulin, including how long it takes to start
working and how long it lasts in your body, the more likely you will be to make
better treatment decisions.
Making a treatment decision doesn't just mean taking insulin. Treatment
decisions can also include things like taking fast-acting carbs, eating, or even
doing nothing and scanning again later.
Your health care professional can also help you to understand when doing
nothing and scanning again later is the right treatment decision. For example,
if your glucose is high and going up, your first instinct may be to take more
insulin to lower your glucose, however depending on when you last took
insulin or your recent activity, the right treatment decision may be to do
nothing and scan again later. Avoid "insulin stacking".
Sensor glucose values, which are based on interstitial fluid glucose levels, can
be di!erent from blood glucose levels (fingersticks), particularly during times
when your blood glucose is changing quickly. If your glucose readings and
alarms from the System do not match your symptoms or expectations, use a
fingerstick blood glucose value from a blood glucose meter to make diabetes
treatment decisions.
