Most displays color code the blood glucose value or the background based on the below color chart. The values listed are the default values, but these can be changed in the Display Options settings.
Red | ≤ 60 mg/dL | 3.3 mmol/LYellow | 61 - 70 mg/dL | 3.4 - 3.8 mmol/LGreen | 71 - 180 mg/dL | 3.9 - 10.0 mmol/LPurple | 181 - 250 mg/dL | 10.1 - 13.9 mmol/LMagenta | > 250 mg/dL | 14.0 mmol/LIf your blood glucose data is outdated by your selected minutes in the Display Options color range selection, the primary display color will be blue.
SugarPixel Mini/Classic calculates the delta (change from the prior reading) by comparing the last 2 readings. At times, there may be a large gap between these readings, such as the last reading before a sensor change and the first reading after a sensor change. In firmware version 1.66 and newer, Delta displays work similarly to “No Data” color-coded functionality to prevent relying on the delta change when it is not relevant.
  • If the last 2 BG readings are within 15 minutes of each other, SugarPixel Mini/Classic displays the Delta as normal
  • If the last 2 BG readings are between 15-30 minutes of each other, SugarPixel Mini/Classic displays the Delta in blue
  • If the last 2 BG readings are greater than 30 minutes of each other, SugarPixel Mini/Classic displays ”- -” instead of the Delta because the Delta is no longer relevant with this large of a time gap.
