About Using a CGM Value with Trend
Your CGM trend is based on the recent pattern of glucose changes. If you use
your CGM value, your CGM value and trend will be used to calculate a suggested
bolus amount. e CGM value and trend will be used along with your Correction
Factor to determine the correction portion of your bolus. e SmartBolus
Calculator will use the CGM trend to adjust the correction bolus amount.
When CGM Values are... e SmartBolus Calculator tries
to keep glucose within target range
and...
Trending up (increasing) Adds more insulin to the correction
bolus.
Trending down (decreasing) Subtracts insulin from the correction
bolus.
Steady No adjustment to the correction
bolus.
