I always calculate my average BGs using my One Touch meter that came with my pump. I've found that's the easiest way to do it. Can you calculate average BGs with the revel pump (I'm not using the CGM at the moment)?

Press ACT, go to Utilities then scroll to Daily Totals, then Daily Average, enter how many days you want to calculate. After the screen appears press ACT to show your Sensor Glucose Average and press ACT again to view your Blood Glucose Average. Hope this helps. It took me a while to figure it out and I READ the book. LOL

It's slightly different on MM x22 and x23. Sportster provided instructions for the x23.

For x22, after you enter #days to average and ACT, then you just press the down/up arrow button to review.

Or you can review details for a given day instead of doing an average. Instead of choosing Daily Average, just use down arrow to highlight and pick a date, then ACT, then down arrow to see the different totals/avg for that day.

In general, whenever you see a vertical bar on the right side, it means the down/up buttons can be used to see more info.

If you use MM CGMS, you can see the data for the Sensor readings. If you enter or 'link' your BG Meter to the pump, you will see separate info for meter BG data.

Ok, I am confused. I have the Revel (500 series) and I don't get any averages for BGs. I don't use a sensor, but instead use the meter that came with my pump, so just about all my BG results go directly to my pump. While I can calculate averages using the meter, I am not able to do so on my pump. When I go to UTILITIES-->DAILY TOTALS-->DAILY AVERAGE and then calculate my averages based on a certain number of days, there is no average BG.

Also, under the same menu, what is "CALCULATE AVC" mean?

Clearly, I don't read the manual.

Never mind...answered my own question. It's actually "AUC" and it stands for "area under the curve." It is the amount of time when BGs are outside of the pre-set range. Thank you, Google!

Sounds like you have the 523, so follow Sportster's instructions.
Hit the ACT button to get to the multiple screens of 'Stats', then Up/Down to scroll within each 'Stats' screen.

AUC is also new to the x23, and not on x22.

I think technically, only the 523/723 is called the Revel. But both x22 and x23 are called Paradigm, and for the most part very similar. I just upgraded to 523, but nowhere on the pump itself does it actually say Revel..

Wow, I got my pump in November and I dont think I even had a clue this was in the pump! I dont think we covered it in training, but may be wrong.
