Rise And Fall Rates; Steps To Customize Receiver Alarm/Alerts - Dexcom G5 User Manual

Rise and Fall Rates

Your home 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 and Fall
Rate Alerts with vibrations or beeps to let you know when your glucose is rising or falling (2
mg/dL/min or 30 mg/dL in 15 minutes) or rapidly rising or falling (3 or more mg/dL/min or 45
mg/dL or more in 15 minutes).
The default setting is off for Repeat, Rise Rate, and Fall Rate.
It's important that you discuss your Alert settings with your HCP.
Signal Loss
Signal Loss Alert tells you when your transmitter and receiver aren't communicating. Set
the Signal Loss Alert and get alerted if your sensor glucose readings have stopped due to a
signal loss lasting 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
level from 200 mg/dL to 190 mg/dL, repeating every 60 minutes.
Follow these same steps for turning on the Rise/Fall Rate Alerts and adjusting your
Low Alert.
