Setting the Glucose Limits
After you turn the Glucose alerts On, then you need to set the high and low Glucose Limits recommended
by your healthcare professional. Your recommended glucose limits may vary throughout the day, so your
monitor allows you to set up to eight pairs.
A Glucose Limit pair includes one High Glucose Limit and one Low Glucose Limit, as shown in the following
table:
Glucose Limit pair Alerts
Low: 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) for CSS7100
90 mg/dL (5.0 mmol/L) for CSS7100K
•A Low Glucose Limit alert occurs when the sensor glucose
measurement reaches or goes below the Low Glucose Limit
in this table.
High: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) for
CSS7100
280 mg/dL (15.6 mmol/L) for CSS7100K
•A High Glucose Limit alert occurs when the sensor glucose
measurement reaches or goes above the High Glucose Limit
in this table.
Setting the Glucose Limits start time
If your healthcare professional recommends that you set more than one pair of Glucose Limits, you must
enter a start time for each. For example, you may use one pair of Glucose Limits during the day and
another pair at night. The example below shows two pairs of Glucose Limits. The first pair begins at
midnight, and the second pair begins at 9:00.
