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 color of the glucose value and the direction of the trend arrow provide visual cues:

  • Explore the Accu-Chek SmartGuide App
    • When the CGM value falls outside the device's measuring range (above 400 mg/dL [22.2 mmol/L] or below 40 mg/dL[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 condition.
