Do not ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose. If you have symptoms that do not match the Sensor glucose reading or suspect that your reading may be inaccurate, check the reading by conducting a finger stick test using a blood glucose meter. If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your glucose readings, consult your health care professional.

The user wirelessly scans the Sensor with the compatible smartphone or reader to get glucose readings.  The Sensor pack is used with the Sensor applicator to prepare the Sensor for use. The Sensor is applied to the back of the upper arm with the aid of the Sensor applicator.  The small, disposable, 14-day Sensor is worn on the back of the upper arm and continuously measures glucose.  *Based on the Sensor being replaced once every 14 days and scanned once every 8 hours1.
