1. The continuous line represents the sensor glucose values.
The continuous line represents the sensor glucose values. The blue asterisk respresents the meter blood glucose readings that were entered into the monitor. If there are no interruptions in glucose monitoring, then the number of paired sensor glucose values/meter blood glucose readings should match the number of meter blood glucose readings. In this graph, the flat line represents sensor blood glucose readings < 40 mg/dl. The CGMS cannot sense < 40 mg/dl.
