REAL-Time Glucose Readings
are viewable at the push of a button. An updated glucose value is available
every five minutes — 288 times per day — at work, during mealtime, when
exercising and overnight, to help patients take action before they experience
a problem. You can also view previous glucose values during the last 8 hours.
A
wareness of glucose variability is important because even brief fluctuations
in glucose levels can lead to long-term diabetes complications like eye, nerve,
kidney and heart disease.
