Using The Trend Arrows; Practice Making Treatment Decisions - Dexcom G6 Pro User Manual

9.4 Using the Trend Arrows

To make a treatment decision using the G6 Pro, your patient needs
both a number and arrow. To get a trend arrow, your patient needs
three back-to-back readings. No trend arrow? Their sensor reading
might not be up-to-date, and your patient needs to use their meter
to treat.
The trend arrows show the sensor readings are current, and their
direction help dose.
