Trend Accuracy
Trend accuracy explains how well the G6 captures the time-dependent characteristics
of glucose fluctuation.
The following examples quantify G6's Trend Accuracy:
1. When the G6 CGM rate of change is rapidly rising (≥ 2 mg/dL/min), how often is
reference glucose also rising? The answer is 71.3% of the time for adults and
67.1% for pediatrics.
2. When the G6 CGM rate of change is rapidly falling (≤ 2 mg/dL/ min), how often is
reference glucose also falling? The answer is 98.0% of the time.
3. When the G6 CGM rate of change is stable (≥ -1 mg/dL/min and ≤ 1 mg/dl/ min),
how often is glucose changing rapidly (≥ 2 mg/dL/min or ≤ 2 mg/dL/ min)? The
answer is only 1.9% of the time.
