Based on his recommendation, we raised it to 80 mg/dL and rubber banded a PEZ
the candy being medically necessary, and Kevin let her know that she could share the PEZ with her friends as long as she wasn't in school.
It's worked! This week, she's acted on her Low Alerts and hasn't gone below 70 mg/dL since her appointment! We're so relieved!
Takeaway
How you set up your alerts can help you reach your diabetes management goals. Work with your HCP to come up with the best alert
customization for you and your goals.
10.8 App: Alert Schedule
The app Alert Schedule lets you pick how your alarm/alerts notify you at different times and on different days. For example, you may
choose loud alarm/alerts when you're not at work, but have them only vibrate during work hours.
Alert Schedule lets you add one schedule.
When you first turn on Alert Schedule, your glucose alert settings are copied into your schedule. You're guided through setting one up.
Follow the steps below to copy your glucose alert setting and change them for workdays.
In this example, your workdays schedule will make your High Alert vibrate between 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. During these
times, your Low Alert will be at 70 mg/dL and your High Alert will be at 200 mg/dL. Evenings and weekends — when this schedule isn't in
effect — your alarm/alerts will make the sounds and notify you at the levels you set outside the Alert Schedule.
We'll set up your High and Low levels first, then change the scheduled High Alert to vibrate.
