Glucose Alerts & Alarm; Glucose Alerts And Alarm; High Glucose Alert - Dexcom G4 PLATINUM User Manual

This table describes the receiver alerts and alarm and explains how the receiver will notify you in the default
setting.
Your receiver may alert you at other times you need to take action, such as low battery, failed sensor, etc.
See Chapter 18, Appendix I, for a detailed list of these other alerts.
9.1.2 GLUCOSE ALERTS
The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM System lets you create personal settings for how you want the receiver to tell
you what is going on. The low and high glucose alerts tell you when your sensor glucose readings are
outside your target glucose range. Rise and fall (rate of change) alerts let you know when your glucose
levels are changing fast (see Chapter 9, Section 9.2, Advanced Alerts). The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM
System also has a 55 mg/dL low glucose alarm that cannot be changed or turned off. This safety feature
tells you your glucose level may be dangerously low. You can set high and low glucose alerts to vibrate and
beep. This feature can help during sleeping, driving, exercising or during meetings.
When you have both your high and low alerts turned on, a gray zone on your trend
range.
