Each alert has its own settings. All of those settings are explained here:
st
Delay 1
Alert (High alert only): Turn on to delay your first alert until your sensor
reading is at or past the high alert setting for a while. You choose how long.
For example, if you set Delay 1
must be at or above your high alert level for 20 minutes before you get the alert.
For More Than: Don't get an alert until a system issue lasts this long. You choose
how long.
Fall Rate: For the Falling Fast alert, you choose the sensor reading change rate:
0.1 mmol/L per minute or
l
0.2 mmol/L or more per minute
l
For example, if you turn this on, when your glucose falls fast, you'll get an alert.
You can add a glucose level to this. If you do, you'll get an alert when your glucose is
at or below that level and falling fast.
Level: Alerts you when your sensor reading is at or beyond this level. What number
makes you do something to keep your glucose in range? Use that number here.
The Low and High alerts each have a default level and a range. Their settings must be
a least 1.1 mmol/L apart.
Low alert
l
Default: 3.9 mmol/L
Range: 3.3–8.3 mmol/L
High alert

Default: 14.0 mmol/L
Range: 5.5–22.2 mmol/L

You can place the Dexcom G7 sensor on:
- The back of the upper arm
- The abdomen (not for pregnant women)
- The upper buttocks (for ages 2-6 years only)

Ensure the site is at least 3 inches (8 cm) from any insulin pump infusion set or injection site, away from waistbands, scarring, tattoos, irritation, and bones, and in a spot unlikely to be bumped, pushed, or laid on while sleeping.
