Level: Alerts you when your sensor reading is at or beyond this level. What number
makes you do something to keep your glucose in range? Use that number here.
The Low and High alerts each have a default level and a range. Their settings must be
a least 20mg/dL apart.
l
Low alert
Default: 70mg/dL
Range: 60–150mg/dL
l
High alert
Default: 250mg/dL
Range: 100–400mg/dL
Rise Rate: For the Falling Fast and Rising Fast alerts, you choose the glucose level
change rate:
l
2–3mg/dL per minute or
l
3mg/dL or more per minute
For example, if you turn this on, when your glucose rises fast, you'll get an alert.
You can add a glucose level to this. If you do, you'll get an alert when your glucose is
at or above that level and rising fast.
Snooze: Turn on to get a repeat alert if your sensor reading stays out of range for a
while. You choose how long.
For example, turn on Snooze for your High alert and set the time to 30 minutes. Then,
after you acknowledge your first High alert, the alert will repeat if your sensor reading
stays above your High alert setting for 30 minutes.
Sound/Vibrate: Choose how your alert notifies you. Go to the next section for more
information.
