5 • Alerts
Your glucose alerts help you stay in your preferred range. They display on your screen,
make a sound, and/or vibrate when your glucose is out of your preferred range, is at or
below 55mg/dL, or will be at 55mg/dL in less than 20 minutes. Additionally, you can
turn on your Rising Fast or Falling Fast alerts so you'll know when your glucose is
rising or falling quickly. Work with your healthcare provider to customize your alerts to
fit your lifestyle and goals.
