9.2.2 RISE AND FALL GLUCOSE RATE ALERTS

IN REAL-TIME MODE

Rate alerts tell you when the glucose levels are rising (rise alert) or
falling (fall alert) and by how much. You can choose for the receiver
to alert when the sensor glucose reading is rising or falling 2 mg/dL or
more per minute, or 3 mg/dL or more per minute.
If you set the fall rate to 2 mg/dL per minute
and the sensor glucose readings fall at this rate
or faster, the "FALLING single arrow" screen
shows, and the receiver vibrates or beeps in line
with the profile settings.
If you set the rise rate to 3 mg/dL per minute
and the sensor glucose readings rise at this rate
or faster, the "RISING double arrow" screen
shows, and the receiver vibrates or beeps in line
with the profile settings.
These steps show how to change the rise or fall rate alert settings.
1. Press the UP or
"Rise Rate" or "Fall Rate," and press the
SELECT button.
