LOW GLUCOSE ALARM
The Dexcom G4 System also has a fixed low alarm set at 3.1 mmol/L. This
alarm is a feature in addition to your personal low and high glucose alerts. You
cannot change or turn off this alarm or its re-alarm settings.
• For the low glucose alarm the receiver will display
the screen to the right.
• Re-alarm: The receiver will automatically notify you
again in 30 minutes after you press the
button to clear it, if your sensor glucose readings are
still at or below 3.1 mmol/L.
HELPFUL HINT:
• Your receiver will not alert you if you have calibrated in the last 5 minutes
and received a sensor glucose reading outside your target range. The
receiver will alert you if your sensor glucose reading remains outside
your target range after five minutes.

Questions and answers
The mom set a high ceiling of 300. How do I get to an actual number and not a "high" reading
You can adjust the high glucose alert value on the Dexcom G4 by following these steps:
1. Press the button to select “High Alert.”
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to highlight “On/Off” and press the SELECT button to set this option.
3. Press the LEFT button to return to the previous screen.
4. Press the DOWN button to highlight “Level.”
5. Press the SELECT button and then use the UP or DOWN button to adjust the high glucose alert value.
6. The high glucose alert value can be set between 6.7 and 22.2 mmol/L in 0.1 mmol/L increments.
7. Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.
This adjustment allows you to set a specific threshold instead of receiving a general "high" reading.
