CGM High/Low and Rise/Fall Rate Alerts
The High and Low (Glucose) Alerts let you know when your CGM readings fall outside the levels you
set in the pump. The Rise and Fall Rate (of change) Alerts let you know when your CGM readings are
rising or falling faster than the limits you set in the pump. You have the option to enable or disable
these alerts, and customize the levels/limits based on your HCP's recommendations (see Chapter 2
in Section II). In addition to the information on CGM Data and CGM Trend screens, these Alerts are
another way of letting you know when your CGM readings may be getting dangerously high or low.

WARNING:
• DO NOT use glucose readings from the G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter to make
treatment decisions, such as how much insulin you should take. The Sensor and Transmitter
do not replace a BG meter and BG values may differ from Sensor glucose readings. The BG
value from your BG meter should be used for treatment decisions. Using glucose readings from
the Sensor and Transmitter to make treatment decisions can result in serious injury or death.
The direction, rate of glucose change, and trend graph from your Sensor and Transmitter
and displayed on your pump provide additional information to help with your diabetes
management decisions.
• DO NOT ignore symptoms of high and low BG levels, even if your Sensor glucose readings
indicate you are in control. If your Sensor glucose readings do not fit with your symptoms, you
should always measure your BG level with a BG meter. Relying on Sensor glucose readings to
treat symptoms may lead to inappropriate treatment decisions and result in serious injury or
death.
NOTE: The CGM Alerts discussed here are separate from the LOW BG and HIGH BG Alerts that
display/sound on your pump when you enter a BG value below 70 mg/dL or above 250 mg/dL.
