Your high and low SG limits.
The bolus deliveries you have given during the time period shown on the
graph.
Any suspend events that have occurred.
If an SG reading does not appear on the graph, some possible reasons for this
include:
An error condition or a sensor-related alert is occurring.
A new sensor that you just inserted is still initializing.
A new sensor that just initialized is still calibrating.
An existing sensor that you have recently reconnected is not ready.
More than six hours have passed since the initial sensor calibration.
More than 12 hours have passed since the last sensor calibration.

Identifying rapid changes in SG
When you use a sensor, trend arrows appear on the Home screen if your SG has
been rising or falling faster than a certain per-minute rate. The number of arrows
that appear tell you how quickly your SG is changing.
The following table shows the trend arrows and their corresponding rates.
SG has been rising at a rate of 1 mg/dL per minute or more, but less than
2 mg/dL per minute.
SG has been falling at a rate of 1 mg/dL per minute or more, but less than
2 mg/dL per minute.
SG has been rising at a rate of 2 mg/dL per minute or more, but less than
3 mg/dL per minute.
