alerts occur
Calibrations are necessary to keep displaying sensor glucose
readings and to ensure optimal sensor accuracy. To calibrate,
you must take a BG (fingerstick) and immediately enter that
value into your Guardian™ Connect app by pressing on the
"Drop" icon .
The best time to calibrate is usually just before meals or before going
to bed. Calibrations are key for system accuracy and will be requested
by the app.
