Understanding the Trend Graphs

Reading the display
Your pump shows a continuous glucose measurement. This is generated by readings sent from the
sensor to the transmitter. The transmitter sends this to the pump or monitor every ve minutes.
The pump or monitor then converts these measurements to glucose graphs that include the following
information:
• The most recent sensor glucose measurement or the reason that one is not displayed
• The historical sensor glucose measurements or the reason that one is not displayed for
the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours
• Arrows that show the relative rate at which the most recent sensor glucose levels have
risen or fallen
Once again, check if you are using a pump (and which model) or the Guardian monitor. The instructions
here are slightly dierent for each!
To view the graphs
• Press ESC once from the HOME SCREEN to display the 3-hour graph (or the last graph
you viewed if you are using the Paradigm Veo pump)
• Press the UP button to view other graphs
• Note: Paradigm 522/722 REAL-Time insulin pump has only 3 and 24-hour graphs.
The Paradigm Veo pump and the Guardian monitor display 3, 6, 12, and 24 hour graphs
Sensor glucose line
Indicates that your glucose
has risen above 17.2 mmol/L
Low Glucose
Limit Line at
3.2 mmol/L
(for example)
High Glucose
Limit Line at
10.6 mmol/L
(for example)
Each time you
bolus, a marker
will appear on
your graph.
Cursor (ashing line) indicates selected time,
and the sensor glucose measurement
(or alert) for that time. There are three marks
on the cursor at 5, 10, and 15 mmol/L.
Data section shows
the selected time,
the type of graphs
(or “History” if you
have scrolled to the
left on the graphs),
and the sensor
glucose
measurement
(or alert)
By scrolling through the graphs using the down arrow, you can see how your glucose levels have
changed over time.
Reading the Trend Graphs
The 3-hour trend graph:
• Each part of the graph between the vertical
dashed lines represents one hour
• The 3-hour trend graph will display readings
in 5 minute increments
• In this example, the selected SG (sensor
glucose) measurement was taken at 15:16,
and the measurement at that time was
15.6 mmol/L
The 6-hour trend graph:
• Each part of the graph between the vertical
dashed lines represents one hour
• The 6-hour trend graphs will display readings
in 10 minute increments
• In this example, the selected SG measurement
was taken at 1:12, and the measurement at
that time was 8.3 mmol/L
The 12-hour trend graph:
• Each part of the graph between the vertical
dashed lines represents one hour
• The 12-hour trend graphs will display readings
in 10 minute increments
• In this example, the reason no measurement
is displayed is LOST SENSOR and it occurred at
14:20
The 24-hour trend graph:
• Each part of the graph between the vertical
dashed lines represents 12 hours. The shaded
area helps you more easily see the sensor
glucose measurements for the previous night
• The 24-hour trend graph will display readings
in 20 minute increments
• In this example, the selected SG measurement
was taken at 11:50 and the value at that time
was 11.7 mmol/L
