How to check for rapid changes in sensor glucose
If your sensor glucose (SG) rises or falls faster than a certain rate, Rapid Change arrows automatically
appear in the graphs next to the SG number, as shown in this section. You can also set your Rate of
Change alerts to tell you when these arrows appear on your SG graphs.
The rapid change arrows
These examples show how the Rapid Change arrows tell you when your SG rises or falls faster than a
certain per-minute rate. The arrow direction shows if your SG measurements are rising or falling. The
number of arrows (one or two) shows how rapidly your SG is changing.
