On the Go With G5x: Customizing Your Alarm and Alerts
247
Your trend screen provides visual cues letting you know your sensor glucose
readings are falling or rising rapidly.
Constantly looking at your screen may not be practical. You can customize
your Rise/Fall Alert with vibrations or beeps letting you know when your
glucose is rising or falling (2 mg/dL/min or 30 mg/dL up or down in 15 minutes)
or rising or falling rapidly (3 or more mg/dL/min or 45 mg/dL or more up or
down in 15 minutes).
The default setting for Repeat and Rise/Fall Rate is Off .
It’s important you discuss your Alert settings with your healthcare
professional.
Signal Loss
Signal Loss Alert tells you when your transmitter and receiver aren’t
communicating. Set the Signal Loss Alert and get notified if your sensor
glucose readings have stopped due to a signal loss anywhere from 20 to 200
minutes.
The default setting for Signal Loss is On .
Steps to Customize Receiver Alarm/Alerts
Using the same example from changing your app Alerts, let’s change the
receiver’s High Alert notification level from 200 mg/dL to 190 mg/dL, repeating
every 60 minutes.
Follow the same steps turning on the Rise/Fall Alerts, and adjusting your Low
Alerts.
