glucose readings. These trend indicators can show low and high blood glucose patterns.
When the arrows are solid, this indicates that the blood glucose reading just taken is
either low or high. When the arrows are blinking, it indicates that a pattern of either lows
or highs has developed.
When you first use your meter, the hypo/hyperglycemic trend indicators will be turned on.
The hypoglycemic trend indicator target is initially set to 70 mg/dL and the hyperglycemic
trend indicator target is initially set to 240 mg/dL. The trend indicator targets can
be changed or the indicators can be turned off as recommended by your healthcare
professional.
Every time you check your blood glucose level, the FreeStyle Precision Neo meter searches
for patterns that have developed in your blood glucose levels over the past five days. If a
pattern of low blood glucose readings is detected, the down arrow will blink. If a pattern
of high blood glucose readings is detected, the up arrow will blink. Trend indicators
provide information from your past results and can help you identify when you have
recurring lows and highs at specific times of day. Before making changes to your diabetes
management plan always consult your healthcare professional.
