Use Alerts To Achieve Goals; Changing All Alerts - Dexcom ONE+ User Manual

Use alerts to achieve goals

Work with your healthcare provider to customize your alerts to help you achieve your goals. For example, are you worried
about insulin stacking – taking doses too close together?
To use your Dexcom ONE+ as a tool to avoid insulin stacking, your healthcare provider may advise you to turn on the Snooze
feature in your High alert setting. That way, you can choose how long you want to wait before getting another High alert after
you confirm the first one. The alert will repeat at the interval you choose until your Dexcom ONE+ readings are back in your
target range. This reminds you to check your readings later to make sure your glucose values have come down.
The screens below show Snooze alerts set at 2 hours. If your Dexcom ONE+ readings remain high for 2 hours after your first
High alert, you will get another alert. This lets you know you might want to take more insulin. If 2 hours pass and you are in
your target range, your High alert will not repeat.

If your sensor readings tend to be high after meals, your healthcare provider may advise you to delay your first High alert to
give your insulin a chance to work. You can set the Delay 1st alert and select the length of the delay in the High alert setting.
