Accu-Chek SmartPredict app

How does the 2-hour glucose prediction function work?

The Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app can provide an estimate of how your glucose may evolve within the next 2 hours based on data from the Accu-Chek SmartGuide sensor and the entries you manually add to your logbook in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app.

The prediction includes the likelihood of your glucose values going low, going high, or staying in range. Disclaimer: please note that the Accu- Chek SmartGuide app does not take other factors into account (such as unlogged insulin or carbohydrates, physical activity, or alcohol consumption).

How reliable is the predicted information in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app? In which situations do I have to be careful with the predicted information?

All prediction algorithms meet high performance benchmarks. Because the prediction is generated from past data, not all contextual data is covered by the predictive algorithm, which might affect future glucose values.

Additionally, if you do not log insulin and carbs correctly, there is a chance that the predicted information does not precisely reflect your actual glucose excursion.

Which data is used to predict my glucose levels and identify glucose patterns?

Your past glucose values measured by your sensor are the main data used for generating your glucose level predictions and glucose patterns. Your manual logs of carbs and insulin injections in your Accu-Chek SmartGuide app logbook and the timestamp of glucose values are also taken into account.

What should I do if I get a Low Glucose Soon! warning, which predicts a potential hypo (hypoglycemic episode)?

If your Low Glucose Predict feature is warning you about a potential hypo (hypoglycemic episode), then the probability is very high that you will experience a hypo within the next 30 minutes. Immediately take measures to avoid the hypo:

Eat or drink 15g of carbs, e.g., 100ml of juice or some gummy bears
Check your glucose after 15 minutes
If glucose remains below 70 mg/dL, take another 15g of carbs
Check glucose again after 15 minutes; repeat step 3 if glucose is below 70 mg/dL
Once glucose is back to normal, have a meal or snack (e.g., bread, fruits, yogurt)
You are advised to not change your overall therapy based on the data displayed without prior consultation with your HCP. If you have questions about your therapy, contact your HCP. Also refer to auf prediction training content.

What should I do if the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app predicts a potential hypo in more than 30 minutes?

If the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict app predicts a hypo within the general 2-hour glucose prediction range, then you can prepare and take appropriate actions to help avoid a potential hypo. It is crucial not to overreact. First wait and watch how your glucose level develops. Monitor your glucose levels closely so you can react in time. All treatment decisions should be discussed with your diabetes care team. Also refer to link auf prediction training content.
