Sensor Glucose Screen
This screen shows your current
glucose reading and a trend
arrow. With trend arrows, you can
monitor the direction your glucose
is heading.
TIP:
Trend arrows may not always
appear (see Check Glucose
Symbol below).
Other times when you need to
do a blood glucose test:
• If you think your glucose
readings are not correct
• If your glucose readings do
not match how you feel
• If the reading does not include
a current glucose number
How to Interpret

You have probably noticed the trend arrow next your
current glucose reading. Sometimes it points up,
sometimes sideways, and sometimes down. But what
does it mean? And how can it help you manage your
glucose levels?
