Glucose Status Area Symbols - Dexcom G4 Platinum User Manual

HELPFUL HINTS:
• Trend arrows do not appear when there are
glucose data gaps (see Chapter 9, Section 9.4,
System Glucose Error). If the glucose reading
error symbol , the wait symbol
range symbol , or the blood drop symbol
appear at the top of the trend graph, the trend
arrows will not appear.
• If the trend arrow is missing, but you are concerned that your blood
glucose level may be rising or falling, take a blood glucose measurement
test on your blood glucose meter.
Symptoms related to low or high blood glucose levels should not
be ignored. If you have symptoms of low or high glucose obtain a
blood glucose measurement from your meter.

display any of the status symbols below. You will not receive sensor glucose
readings during the time the status symbol is displayed except during the regular
12 hour calibration prompt.
This icon means you need to enter a calibration. This prompt will appear
when it is time for your 12 hour calibration update or any other time an
additional calibration is needed (see Chapter 4, Section 4.2, How to
