An important message about alarms and alerts
Your Guardian REAL-Time system tells you about events and conditions that affect your diabetes
management in two ways:
•With alarms about events and/or conditions that affect the ability of your
system to work properly. An alarm means you must do something
immediately to make sure your system keeps working properly. When an alarm occurs, a closed circle
icon appears at the top left of your monitor screen.

•With alerts about your glucose levels or about conditions that affect the
way your system measures your glucose levels. An alert means your glucose
levels are changing or you must do something within a certain amount of time to make sure your
system’s glucose monitoring stays accurate. When an alert occurs, an open circle icon appears at the
top left of your monitor screen.

Certain alerts are called alarms on your screen. When this happens, the most important information is
whether the circle icon on your screen is open (alert) or closed (alarm). See the Troubleshooting and
alarms/alerts chapter for details on alarms and alerts.
