The prediction appears on the Home screen and shows the likelihood of your glucose values being within range or going either low or high. It is based on your CGM values, carbohydrate and insulin data in the Logbook, and the time of day.
You will need:
Values are colour-coded. Values in green are in your target range, and deviations are shown in yellow/orange for highs and red/dark red for lows.
| ⏺ | Orange = Very high | ⏺ | Red = Low |
| ⏺ | Yellow = High | ⏺ | Dark red = Very low |
| ⏺ | Green = In range |
Accuracy: High
You can take action, but consider whether it makes sense to act immediately or wait a while. The right time of action depends on:
For example, injecting rapid-acting insulin or eating fast-acting carbohydrates could change your glucose levels within 20 minutes. However slow-acting carbohydrates (e.g., a mixed meal with fat and protein) can have a delayed effect.
Accuracy: Moderate
No immediate action is needed. These predictions show your possible glucose excursions in the future, to make you aware of potential unwanted upcoming glucose levels and give you some time to prepare.
The prediction will update every 5 minutes. Monitor the situation based on your CGM values and prepare for the possibility that carbohydrates or insulin will be needed later.
The Predict app can only make predictions based on the information it has collected, and there are some factors it cannot take into consideration. Keep in mind what to consider when using the predictive features.
Glucose fluctuations can affect the prediction The forecast will be less accurate if your glucose fluctuates strongly before the prediction is made. Strong fluctuations happen when your glucose values go up and down in a very short period.
Anna has had diabetes for some years now. She injects insulin several times a day to keep her glucose in her target range. Anna wants to know where her glucose is heading, stay informed about her levels, and reduce frequent changes in her blood sugar levels.†
Today, she is going to visit her brother, who lives two hours away. Long car trips are often challenging for Anna because she worries about having low glucose while driving.† Two hours before her trip, Anna had breakfast and injected herself with insulin.
Anna uses the Glucose Predict feature to check her estimated glucose values for the next 2 hours. Her glucose is currently higher than her target range, and her predicted levels are also slightly elevated.
Since her last insulin injection was only 2 hours ago, it would be too soon to correct the values. Another injection could now overlap with the last one and increase her risk of low glucose. Anna will take her insulin pen with her and check her glucose again when she gets to her brother’s house, to see if correction insulin is needed.
Anna makes sure that notifications are enabled in both apps. Although it’s unlikely that she will have low glucose during her drive, the Predict app will update every 5 minutes and keep her informed about her glucose levels. The Low Glucose Predict feature would warn her if low glucose is likely within the next 30 minutes. And if her glucose drops below a customizable glucose threshold, the Low Glucose Alarm in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app would let her know.
Anna always has a cereal bar and some glucose tablets in her bag, in case she needs them. She puts her phone in a holder, so she can hear any notifications while she’s driving and pull over to check the apps if needed.† Anna can now relax and enjoy the drive, knowing she has prepared for the journey and will stay informed about her glucose levels.
Next up, learn more about the Low Glucose Predict feature in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app.
