The CONTOUR^™DIABETES app can notify you if certain trends are detected in your BG readings. These are called 'patterns.' For example, the app may detect a pattern of high BG at lunchtime. The My Patterns feature lets you:

• View helpful notifications of trends in your BG
• Learn about possible causes of your patterns
• Use reminders to help improve the pattern
• Track your progress and see how you improve the pattern over time

You can select one or more pattern types from My Patterns on the main menu. This tells the app that you want to be notified when this type of pattern is detected.

To change your pattern notification settings go to:

Main Menu > My Patterns

1. Tap 'More' in the top right-hand corner
2. Tap 'Pattern Selection'
3. Select the patterns that you want to track by switching them on or off
