Slowly rising: 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.
Rising: 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.
Rapidly rising: Your glucose is rising more than 3 mg/dL each
minute. If it continued rising at this rate, your glucose could increase
more than 45 mg/dL in 15 minutes.
Slowly falling: Your glucose is falling 1-2 mg/dL each minute. If it
continued falling at this rate, your glucose could decrease up to 30
mg/dL in 15 minutes.
