Patients should speak with their healthcare provider about setting these three alerts, so they have more time to prevent their glucose from dropping too low:
-
Falling Fast: Patients can turn on this alert to let them know when their glucose is rapidly decreasing
-
Urgent Low Soon: The Urgent Low Soon alert can warn users in advance (within 20 minutes) of a severe hypoglycemic event (55 mg/dL), which helps give them time to take appropriate action before an event occurs. Patients must have this alert turned on
-
Low Alert: Patients should consider raising the level of their Low Alert settings to alert them before their levels go too low
