Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems use trend arrows to accurately display the anticipated glucose curve for the user. These are used for both “real-time” glucose monitoring and for intermittent scanning glucose monitoring. Trend arrow data are used by people with diabetes to make corrections to their glucose control. It is essential that they are correctly interpreted when adjusting insulin doses and to ensure that appropriate treatment decisions are made. The aim of this article is to provide general treatment guidance for diabetes teams and for people with diabetes using CGM in the context of trend arrows. This is based on previous recommendations for interpreting trend arrows without losing sight of the need for individual therapy adjustment.
