• Report header — The report header contains identifying information, such as the name of the
report, the patient's name, and the source of the data.
• Carbohydrates and blood glucose levels — Within the graphs and charts, carbohydrate units
are displayed in italics and blood glucose levels are displayed in bold.
• Weekend data — Weekend days are in bold so you can easily identify them.
• Legends — A legend of symbols appears at the bottom of each report. While a symbol may be
used in multiple reports, the legends are unique to each report.
Dashboard and Episode Summary
The Dashboard and Episode Summary is a two-page report that is designed to provide a
summary of a patient’s overall glycemic control for a selected time period. The first page of the
report is called the Therapy Management Dashboard, and the second page is the Episode
Summary. A description of each page is provided below.
Therapy Management Dashboard
The Therapy Management Dashboard allows you to see the overall level of glycemic control by
time of day. The Dashboard page plots sensor glucose overlay traces and insulin delivery
information on a daily graph. The Dashboard also shows overnight time period and periods
around mealtimes, to help you assess glycemic control before and after meals. Using these
graphs, you can visually discern key clinical patterns such as hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and
variability within the overall graphical view of glycemic control. The Dashboard includes a
statistical analysis of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic patterns recurring at particular times of
the day.
In addition, the Dashboard provides the ability to correlate glycemic control by time-of-day with
key therapy modifiers, such as basal pattern, insulin absorption, insulin sensitivity, and
carbohydrate ratios. This reduces the need to correlate events across multiple reports manually.
Lastly, the Dashboard shows overall statistics of pump and sensor use.
Episode Summary
The Episode Summary page provides details of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes. It
highlights the most critical episodes, and the frequency of correlated events of interest for further
investigation. If applicable, the report enumerates the commonly known causes for hypoglycemic
and hyperglycemic excursions, and suggests common remedies.
Lastly, the Episode Summary provides overall observations regarding key behavioral or
compliance measures related to insulin pump, CGM and BG meter usage. These observations may
not be episode-related.
