Glucose Alarms

The app can warn you if your glucose values go very high, low, or very low. The following glucose alarms are available:

  • The very high glucose alarm warns you when your glucose value goes above your very high glucose limit.
  • The low glucose alarm warns you when your glucose value goes below your low glucose limit.
  • The very low glucose alarm warns you when your glucose value goes below 54 mg/dL or 3 mmol/L. For your safety, the very low glucose limit can't be changed.

You will only receive one glucose alarm when your glucose value goes above your very high glucose limit or below your low glucose limit. However, you will continue to receive a glucose alarm every 5 minutes for as long as your glucose value remains below the very low glucose limit. You can also dismiss the alarm to stop receiving it.

Glucose alarms are active 24 hours a day, unless sleep alarms have been turned on.

Sleep alarms allow you to set different alarm levels during night. This way you aren't disturbed unnecessarily during sleep.

All glucose alarms are active by default, but you can turn them off from the app Menu.

To configure your glucose alarms, proceed as follows:

  1. Tap Menu.
  2. Tap Glucose Alarms.
  3. Tap the toggles to turn the desired alarms on or off. When you turn on sleep alarms, you can adjust the Bedtime (start time) and Wake-Up Time (end time) for Sleep Alarms in 15-minute increments.
  4.  
    NOTE

    If you turn on any glucose alarm, the connection loss alarm is automatically turned on as well. See section Sensor Connection Loss Alarm.

  5. Enter the limits for each alarm.

  6. For information on default values, see chapter Getting Started.

    NOTE

    The allowed limits of your glucose alarms can be impacted by your target range settings. For example, if your target range is set to a certain range, you can't set your low glucose limit any higher without increasing the lower value of the target range.

  8. Tap Save.
