Eversense CGM User Guide
Eversense Trend Arrows and Treatment Decisions
Eversense trend arrows show the direction and rate of change of your glucose to give you an idea of where your
glucose is headed. Talk with your health care provider about using trend arrows to help you make treatment
decisions. Generally, if the arrow is going down, you may consider taking less insulin, and if the trend arrow is going
up, you may take more. Be careful not to take too much insulin in a short time, as that could result in low glucose
from stacking insulin. The Eversense arrows are listed below, along with how you may use them when considering
treatment. Talk with your health care provider about making adjustments to treatment based on trend arrows.
Never make a treatment decision using CGM if there is no arrow displayed.
