Next Steps:
Home Screen

8.1 Introduction

In this chapter, you'll learn how to read your home screen, identify readings and trends, and understand what they mean.
After this chapter, you'll be able to:
• Navigate using home screen icons
• Locate your reading
• Explain your glucose target range
• Recognize the importance of gray, yellow, and red colors
• Identify Low and High Alert levels on your graph
• Change graph views
• Explain differences between trend arrows

8.2 Home Screen Overview

The home screen is where you spend most of your time. The Apple app, Android app, and receiver home screens show your sensor
glucose information and give you ways to move to other screens — to calibrate, add an event, and see the menu.
The home screen below is from the Apple app. The Android app and receiver look similar. The only difference is where the Calibrate Icon,
Settings Menu, and Event History/Add Event are.

8.3 Glucose Information

This section shows you how to interpret your glucose reading, trend arrow, and graph.
