Different symbols show on the trend graph instead of a sensor
glucose reading to let you know that the receiver cannot
provide a reading.
Trends let you see the pattern of your glucose levels. The trend
graph shows where your glucose levels have been during
the time shown on the screen and where your glucose levels
are now.
Low blood glucose. Same as "low." The default low alert in
your receiver is set to 80 mg/dL. Consult your healthcare
professional to determine the appropriate hypoglycemic setting
for you.
High blood glucose. Same as "high." The default high alert
in your receiver is set to 200 mg/dL. Consult your healthcare
professional to determine the appropriate hyperglycemic setting
for you.
Optional receiver alert setting that keeps repeating the fixed
low alarm every 5 seconds until your sensor glucose reading
rises above 55 mg/dL or you confirm it. This profile can be
helpful if you want extra awareness for severe lows.
Milligrams per deciliter. The standard unit of measure for sensor
glucose readings in the United States.
