8.2 RATE OF CHANGE ARROWS
Your rate of change arrows add detail about the direction and speed of glucose change over the last 15-20
minutes.
The trend arrows show to the right of your current sensor glucose reading.
Do not overreact to the rate of change arrows.
Consider recent insulin dosing, activity, food intake, your
overall trend graph and your blood glucose value before taking action.
If there are missed communications between the sensor and receiver during the last 15-20 minutes, an
arrow may not display.
This table shows the different trend arrows your receiver displays:

Your glucose is rising 1-2 mg/dL each minute. If it continued rising at
this rate, your glucose could increase up to 30 mg/dL in 15 minutes.

Your glucose is rising 2-3 mg/dL each minute. If it continued rising at this
rate, your glucose could increase up to 45 mg/dL in 15 minutes.
