On the Go With G5: Customizing Your Alarm and Alerts

12.1 Introduction

The receiver and app come with default glucose Alert level settings, but
perhaps they don't reflect the glucose level that works best for you.
Perhaps you're in a meeting and can only clear an Alert, yet want to make
sure your Alert repeats, or continues, until you're able to take corrective
measures. Maybe you'd like to get a Rising/Falling Glucose Alert, but their
settings are off by default. How do you turn them on?
In this chapter, you'll learn how to personalize your Alarm and Alerts tones
and glucose levels.
After this chapter you will be able to:

Each display device has customization options; however, the setup flow is
different. Before making any changes to your Alert levels, talk with your
healthcare professional.
First, let's take a look at personalizing your app Alarm and Alerts, and then
we'll review the same process for the receiver.
