Continuous	One of two modes in which the system functions (the other is Blood Glucose mode). You will use
Monitoring Mode	this mode most of the time. It displays the glucose level in your interstitial fluid continuously, as
	measured by the sensor you place just beneath your skin. Along with the glucose numbers, this
	mode also displays a directional glucose trend arrow.
Control	A test done with FreeStyle Control Solution in the Blood Glucose mode using the built-in
Solution Test	FreeStyle Blood Glucose Meter to ensure that the system is working properly in the Blood
	Glucose mode.
Data Loss	An alarm that tells you when you are about to lose data, or when your alarms are about to stop
Alarm	working. Data Loss alarms sound when the transmitter-receiver connection is broken or when
	the sensor has expired.
Data Upload	The act of transferring data from your FreeStyle Navigator system to a computer.
Dressings	Products that can be used as over-bandages to cover the transmitter. These can help the sensor
	support mount adhesive stick to your skin.
Events	Activities and observations that can affect your glucose levels that you record in your system.
	Reviewing events may help you to see patterns in your glucose levels and how you manage your
	diabetes. Once entered into the system, events may be viewed in several ways, including Event
	History reports or Line Graph reports.
Event History	A type of report that incorporates the event information you enter (For example, histories of
Reports	recent glucose results, insulin doses, carbohydrate content of meals, exercise, state of health, etc.).

	using for high and low glucose alarms.
