Yes! Use your G6 Pro for treatment decisions unless: Your readings do not match your symptoms You don't feel right, yet the G6 Pro says your glucose is OK and your trend arrow is straight. No number or no arrow On the home screen: you don't have a number, don't have an arrow, or both. No number, no arrow, no treatment decision. In both cases, use your blood glucose meter for treatment decisions. Be careful! When was my last dose? Avoid taking insulin doses too close together (stacking insulin). Doing so could cause you to go low. Sometimes it's best to watch and wait (at least two hours). Need help? Contact your healthcare professional: For medical issues: · G6 Pro gets loose or removed · Sensor wire breaks off · Irritation at insertion site What's Next?
