4.4 Stop Sharing
The Sharer can swipe the On/Off switch to temporarily stop glucose information and
Alarm/Alerts from being sent to Followers. Sharing stops until the Sharer turns the On/
Off Switch back on.
For reasons of safety and intended use, the Follower will get a message telling them
their Sharer's data was set to Not Sharing. The Follower's dashboard will show the
Sharer has stopped sharing glucose information.
