CGM CALIBRATING I
CGM CALIBRATING
IMPORTANT: After the first day, the minimum number of calibrations required is one every Optimal calibration time Optimal calibration time Not optimal for calibration Optimal calibration time
12 hours. However, calibrating 3-4 times a day is optimal and these can be done when it is
convenient for you. To help you remember to calibrate, think “before is best” - typically the
best times to calibrate are before meals, before taking insulin, and before bedtime. Also
check for arrows - calibrating when there are 2 or 3 arrows may decrease sensor accuracy
until the next calibration.
When receiving a Calibrate now alert, if you cannot calibrate
right away, you can set the Snooze to remind you to calibrate
in the time that you set.
If you plan to test BG and calibrate right away, simply select
Snooze.
Once you select Snooze, Calibration required will appear on
the Home screen until you enter a BG to calibrate.

OTHER WAYS TO CALIBRATE
IMPORTANT: If you notice a large difference between your BG meter reading and sensor
glucose readings, wash your hands and do another BG fingerstick test to help ensure a more
accurate reading. Check the sensor site to ensure the sensor overtape is still holding the
sensor in place. If there is still a large difference in glucose readings, another calibration may
be needed to bring the readings closer together again.
In the Bolus Wizard: Select Yes to calibrate sensor.
Select Deliver Bolus.
You can use the Calibration Reminder to give you notice before the next calibration
is necessary.
The Calibration Reminder defaults On with a reminder time of 1:00 hour and you can
change it by going to the Reminders menu option.
