Go to Responding to Alerts section of the Alerts chapter for more information.
Turn off alerts you don't need
You can turn off most alerts in their settings.
The alerts you can't turn off in their settings — Urgent Low and technical alerts (like
Sensor Failed) — you can set to vibrate using Quiet Modes in the app or Alert Sounds
in the receiver.
Go to the changing alerts sections of the Alerts chapter for more information.
Customize alert settings
What sensor reading makes you respond? Set your alert level at that number.
For example, if you don't respond until your sensor reading is 65mg/dL but your Low
alert is at 80mg/dL, you're getting alerts you don't use. Set your Low alert level to
65mg/dL so you only get it when it matters to you.
Go to the changing alerts sections of the Alerts chapter for more information.
Skip repeated alerts
Insulin and food both take time to work. Avoid getting repeated alerts while you wait.
In the alert settings, turn off the Snooze feature.
If your alert is repeating every 5minutes, go to the Responding to Alerts section of the
Alerts chapter.
Adjust High alert setting: Delay 1st Alert
Bothered by High alerts after you eat, even though you took insulin? Talk to your
healthcare provider about using the High alert Delay 1st Alert feature in the High alert
settings to avoid getting an alert until your glucose has been high for a few hours —
long enough for the insulin to have worked.
Go to the changing alerts sections of the Alerts chapter for more information.
