Perform a blood glucose test.
Follow the instructions for your blood glucose meter to perform
a blood glucose test.
CAUTION
Only use a blood glucose meter reading from your fin-
gertip to calibrate your CGM. Do not use a reading from
an alternate site.

NOTE: The
ESTIMATED GLUCOSE
banner does not
always mean you need to calibrate. Tap the banner for
information about why glucose levels are estimated. See
SECTION 6.5
for details about estimated glucose.

Entering a calibration reading
•
Your glucose, according to the BGM, is between 3.9-
13.9 mmol/L.
•
Your glucose is changing less than 0.11 mmol/L per
minute.
•
A session is in progress.
•
The

If any of the above are not true, you will not be able to

5.1.1
What happens without calibration
If you do not enter a calibration reading, the CGM will
continue to display glucose levels for a period of time,
but they will appear with an
ESTIMATED GLUCOSE
ban-
ner to indicate that the data quality may be lower than
usual. Estimated glucose levels appear as light grey
points on the trend chart. See
SECTION 6.5
for details
about estimated glucose.
IMPORTANT
: After the second calibration, you can
always calibrate early in order to shift your calibration
schedule to a more convenient time. For example, if the
next calibration is due at 23:00, you may choose to cali-
brate at 19:00 instead if that is a more convenient time.
In that case, your next scheduled calibration would be at
19:00 (24 hours later).
In the app, there are a few ways to tell when it is time to
calibrate:
•
On the
HOME
screen, the
TIME TO CALIBRATE
banner
appears. Tap the banner to calibrate.
•
On the
TRANSMITTERS
screen, the message area indica-
tes that it is time to calibrate. Tap
CALIBRATE
to calibrate.
If you have allowed the app to send notifications and
have turned on the calibration alert, you will receive a
notification when it is time to calibrate.
In order to calibrate, all of the following must be true:
