Trend Arrows (continued from page before)
Falling: The glucose is falling 2-3 mg/dL each minute. If it continued
falling at this rate, the glucose could decrease up to 45 mg/dL in 15
minutes.
Rapidly falling: The glucose is falling more than 3 mg/dL each
minute. If it continued falling at this rate, the glucose could decrease
more than 45 mg/dL in 15 minutes.
No arrow
No rate of change information: The receiver cannot calculate how
fast the glucose is rising or falling at this time.
Trend arrows show to the right of the sensor glucose reading.
They tell you more about the glucose’s speed and direction.
Trend arrows do not show when there are
glucose data gaps (see Chapter 13, Section
13.4, System Glucose Error). If the glucose
reading error symbol , the wait symbol ,
the out of range symbol , or the calibration
needed symbol show at the top of the trend
graph, the trend arrows will not show.
If the trend arrow is missing, but you are
concerned that the blood glucose level may
be rising or falling, take a blood glucose
measurement test on the blood glucose meter.
