Freestyle Libre - Checking Your Glucose

What you see What it means

90
When you checked your glucose before lunch,
it was 90 mg/dL and rising. Before eating lunch,
you took enough insulin to cover the meal and
a little more since your trend arrow was
.
After lunch:

mg
dL
225
90 minutes later, your current glucose is
225 mg/dL. The graph shows that your glucose is
still going up, and so does the trend arrow
.
Don’t take a correction dose within 2 hours
of your meal dose. This may result in “insulin
stacking” and low glucose.
Consider what might be causing your glucose
to go up and what you might do to prevent a
high glucose. For example:
• Has the insulin you took for your meal reached
its full eect?
• Scan your Sensor again later.

204
After exercising, you are feeling shaky, sweaty,
and dizzy – symptoms you generally get when
you have low glucose. But, your current glucose
is 204 mg/dL.
Anytime you get a reading that doesn’t match
how you feel, do a blood glucose test.
Note: The Check Blood Glucose
symbol will
NOT appear in this situation.

Before dinner, your current glucose is
134 mg/dL. The graph shows that your glucose
is going down and so does the trend arrow
.
Consider what might be causing your glucose
to go down and what you might do to prevent
a low glucose. For example:
• How much insulin should you take before
your meal?
• Since you see
, should you consider taking
a little less insulin?
