or an Alarm help you avoid getting too low or high. Alarm and Alert notifications help keep
you aware of your glucose trends and are made up of a combination of sounds, vibrations,
and screens.
There are a number of Alerts, but only one Alarm: when your glucose level dips below 3.05
mmol/L. Some customization options are available and are part of the setup process for the
receiver and smart device.
In Chapter 10, you can learn more about the Alarm and Alerts feature, and in Chapter 11,
how to customize them.

New to the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System is the ability to use the sensor glucose readings
to make treatment decisions, including insulin doses.

where they are heading, along with what you have eaten, your stress levels, when you last
exercised, etc. With the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System's trend graphs and Alarm/Alerts
feature, you can determine the speed and direction of your glucose changes and determine if
you should dose without taking a fingerstick, eat carbs, or do nothing.
