I’m unreasonably annoyed by this trendline today. The t:slim showed this as a “steady arrow.” Control IQ even turned off my basal, but somehow it’s still “steady”?
The Dexcom G7 app was better, at least recognizing it as a “slight down arrow”. (Look at those missing data points though – don’t know when they’ll fix that issue.)
I really wish I could set alarms for slight down arrows under a certain BG! The “falling fast” alarm is handy, but “falling slow” is more common. By the time I felt this low ~65-70, my CGM said I was 90. Setting my low alarm to 100 to actually prevent lows is totally possible, but would be really annoying…
A lot of folks have recommended Xdrip for CGM data customization options. I got as far as installing it… and then abandoned the project for a later day, with more hours and more brainpower to finish setup. Does Xdrip have a solve for “slow drops”? That might give me the motivation I need to keep going.
XDrip+ on Android supports many Alerts! It does support a “fast drop” alert and the “drop” is configurable 1-3mg/dL as shown in the images. I’m not sure about xDrip on iOS.
I’ve seen this a fair amount where the trend arrow is different. To me it seems Dexcom is more conservative than Tandem (maybe a rounding type issue). My guess is you were actually leveling out at 70 so would be curious what the next few data points looked like.
Regardless most eveything is annoying when I’m low…lol.
You’re not wrong I got down to 55 before I came back up, but when I’ve already felt it and treated it quickly I think the CGM doesn’t catch how low I really got… But hey, better than being low long enough that it registers fully.
Ooh, wonderful! That might do it for me. Thank you, @Trying !
