Treatment Decisions–Example Scenarios
Example scenarios to help you understand how to use all of the information on the screen. The recommendations
below are based on a clinical article published in a peer reviewed journal.
ANNE
Anne
has a target
After breakfast
of <180 mg/dL and a
correction factor of
1:50. This means she
would take 1 unit of
rapid-acting insulin
to lower her glucose
about 50 mg/dL.
Before lunch
After lunch
Before dinner

Decisions
WHAT ANNE SEES
After breakfast, Anne sees her glucose
is 108 mg/dL. The trend arrow shows it
is going down quickly. There is also a
message at the top of the
screen and the symbol.
Anne sees her glucose is 90 mg/dL
and rising.
Ninety minutes later, Anne's glucose is
still 225 mg/dL.
Anne sees her current glucose is
134 mg/dL. The graph shows that her
glucose is going down and so does the
trend arrow .
WHAT ANNE DOES
Anytime Anne sees the symbol, she does a blood
glucose test before deciding what to do.
Before eating lunch, Anne takes enough insulin to
cover the meal and a little more since her trend
arrow was rising .
Anne does not take a correction dose as it is
within 2 hours of her meal dose. This could result
in "insulin stacking" and low glucose. The insulin
she took for her meal may not have reached its
full eff ect.
Anne decides to wait and scan again later.
Anne considers what might be causing her
glucose to go down and what she might do to
prevent a low glucose. She considers how much
insulin she should take before her meal. Because
she sees she considers taking a little less insulin.
