Trend arrows

Trend arrows and colours

Trend arrows can help you plan and take action to stay in your target range. They estimate the direction in which your blood sugar may be going, based on recent glucose readings. The colour of the glucose value and the direction of the trend arrow provide visual cues:

Trend arrows chart

Rising quickly

Your glucose value is rising quickly (1.7 mmol/L + over the next 15 minutes)

Rising slowly

Your glucose value is rising slowly (0.8 -1.7 mmol/L over the next 15 minutes)

Steady

Your glucose value is stable (no change or insignificant change)

Falling slowly

Your glucose value is falling slowly (0.8 -1.7 mmol/L over the next 15 minutes.)

Falling quickly

Your glucose value is falling quickly (1.7 mmol/L + over the next 15 minutes)

Colours

Orange - glucose value is very high.

Yellow - glucose value is high.

Green - glucose value is in range.

Red - glucose value is very low.

Deep red - glucose value is very low.

- When the CGM value falls outside the device's measuring range (above 22.2 mmol/L or below 2.2 mmol/L), the app will display HI or LO instead of a numerical value.
- In some cases, an increased rate of fluctuations in your levels may need a quick and careful response. Talk to your healthcare provider about your personal diabetes profile and the best ways to manage your diabetes.
