The dark shaded areas represent where mostof your SG (sensor glucose) readings fell within that timeperiod. The coloured dotted line represents how far spreadout the rest were. A tighter band means tighter control.The dark dotted line represents your average SG levels fordata A only.4This is your time in range (TIR) data between 4 – 10 mmol/land this can again be compared side by side data A vsdata B so you can easily track any changes.NOTES0956Here you can see all the reasons for Auto Mode exit and howmany times each one happened to you in both data sets.These figures show how long you spent in Auto Mode andManual Mode as well as your average SG value and yourglucose management indicator (GMI).
