How the Glucose Patterns Feature Works in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide Predict App

Pattern detection identifies recurring changes in your glucose levels. A pattern is defined as an event that occurs more than once within the same day or calendar week (Monday at 00:00 to Sunday at 23:59). The Predict app requires various amounts of continuous glucose data to reliably detect patterns in your glucose values.

Patterns overview

If the Predict app has enough data to detect patterns in your glucose values, the patterns are shown and can be tapped for further information.

Enable summary notification

You can decide whether you want to receive the Pattern Weekly Summary on Mondays, when your patterns for the past week have been analyzed. You can also choose the time of day to receive the notification.

Active patterns from the last 2 weeks

Patterns can look very different, depending on their frequency and cause. The patterns are shown using a range of icons and colors.

Pattern history

You may be able to resolve a pattern by changing your behavior.
When a pattern is resolved, the Predict app moves it to the Past tab.
You can see all your historic patterns in the Past tab, if you want to refer back to them.

Providing context for pattern analysis

Your Logbook entries are important in pattern detection. For example, meal-associated patterns can only be determined if you switch and log your meals in the SmartGuide app.
You can add information to your Logbook entries in the Accu-Chek SmartGuide app to provide more context for pattern analysis and improve the quality of suggestions you receive.
Some patterns might not be discovered if data is missing from the Logbook.

Set a reminder

You can set reminders, including push notifications, to proactively follow up on specific patterns you would like to improve.
Setting up a reminder for a detected pattern can warn you in advance. Alarms may help you prevent the event from happening again.

When the Predict app determines the possible causes of a pattern, it offers a few suggestions. You should discuss your diabetes profile and therapy with your diabetes care team before making any significant changes.
