Chapter 23 – Viewing CGM Data on Your t:slim X2 Pump

23.1 Overview

During an active sensor session, CGM
readings are sent to your t:slim X2
Pump every 5 minutes. This section
teaches you how to view your sensor
glucose readings and trend information.
The trend graph provides additional
information that your blood glucose
meter does not. It shows your current
glucose value, the direction it is chang-
ing and how fast it is changing. The
trend graph can also show you where
your glucose has been over time.
Your blood glucose meter measures
glucose in your blood. Your sensor
measures glucose from interstitial fluid
(the fluid under your skin). Because glu-
cose from different fluids is measured,
readings from your blood glucose
meter and sensor may not match.
The greatest benefit you get from using
continuous glucose monitoring will
come from trending information. It is
important that you focus on the trends
and rate of change on your receiver
rather than the exact glucose reading.
