REPORT PREPARATION

•  Analyze past two (2) weeks of data. 
•  Set the report settings to target range 

of 70-180 mg/dL. 

•  Print Dashboard, CGM Hourly, Therapy 

Timeline, and Settings pages. 

How it 

CALCULATES

•  HYBRID CLOSED-LOOP(HCL) 
•  Uses CGM glucose data to adjust the basal insulin delivery by increasing, 

decreasing or suspending programmed basal rates

•  Algorithm targets glucose levels 112.5-160 mg/dL
•  Automatic correction boluses up to once per hour, 60% of a calculated 

correction dose

SENSOR/SHARE

 characteristics

•  Can change basal rates, I:C ratios, correction factors

•  CANNOT change active insulin time (5 hours) or correction bolus target 

(110 mg/dL)

•  “Exercise Activity” targets glucose 140-160 mg/dL 

(to reduce insulin 

delivery)

•  “Sleep Activity”, narrows glucose target to 112.5-120 mg/dL and prevents 

automated correction doses overnight.

The system stays in HCL all the time except when CGM data is not 

available. Users should consider turning off Control-IQ if they want to use 

temporary basal rates.

See education points below.

•  Dexcom G6 sensor and transmitter: 10 day sensor life, factory calibrated, can 

be used for diabetes management decisions without BG check.

•  User can connect Dexcom transmitter to the Dexcom G6 app on a phone and 

share data with others using Dexcom Follow app.

•  Sensor glucose levels autopopulate into bolus calculator
