Glucose Alarms
Glucose alarms are notifications related to your continuous glucose
readings . Work with your healthcare team to determine your glucose
alarm settings . Alarms are displayed on your Receiver as a message . You
may be alerted to an alarm by sound or vibration depending on your
alarm settings .
If you are not receiving continuous glucose data, you do not get glucose
alarms .
CAUTIONS:
• The Low and High Glucose Alarms should not be used exclusively to
detect low or high glucose conditions . The alarms should always be
used with other indications of glycaemic state such as your glucose
level, trend, Timeline Graph, etc .
• Do NOT rely solely on the projected glucose alarms for detection of
low or high glucose conditions . Always use both the Low and High
Glucose Threshold alarms AND the Projected Low and High Glucose
Alarms for maximum notification of low or high glucose conditions .
• The Low Glucose Alarm cannot be set below 60 mg/dL (3 .3 mmol/L) .
Therefore, it is not intended to notify you of severe hypoglycaemia .
• The High Glucose Alarm cannot be set above 300 mg/dL
(16 .7 mmol/L) . Therefore, it is not intended to notify you of
severe hyperglycaemia .
• Low and High Glucose Alarm thresholds are different from your
Glucose Targets . Low and High Glucose Alarms alert you when you
have passed your pre-set value . Glucose Targets allow the reports
and Timeline Graphs to show how your glucose levels have been
performing compared to your set targets .
Alarm Tones
You can turn on each alarm individually in the Tones screens . To turn On
an alarm, select the Tone you would like to hear when the alarm occurs .

off the Low Glucose Alarms, you do NOT receive text, audible nor vibratory
notification for low glucose events.
Glucose Alarms Settings
Type
What It Is
Settings Available
OK
LOW GLUCOSE
Low glucose
below 75 mg/dL
74
mg/dL
The low glucose alarm notifies you when your glucose level is below
your Low Glucose Threshold value .
• Threshold Range: 60 – 119 mg/dL (3 .3 – 6 .6 mmol/L)
• Snooze time: 15 – 60 min
• Alarm Tones, Vibrate or Off
OK
HIGH GLUCOSE
High glucose
above 240 mg/dL
241
mg/dL
The high glucose alarm notifies you when your glucose level is above
your High Glucose Threshold value .
• Threshold Range: 120 – 300 mg/dL (6 .7 – 16 .7 mmol/L)
• Snooze time: 15 – 240 min
• Alarm Tones, Vibrate or Off
OK
PROJECTED LOW
Glucose projected
to be below 75 mg/dL
98
mg/dL
The projected low glucose alarm provides an early warning of an event
that is likely to occur if the current trend continues . You select how early
you want to be notified (approximately 10, 20 or 30 minutes) before
your glucose level is predicted to reach the threshold value .
• Advance Notice: 10, 20 or 30 minutes
• Alarm Tones, Vibrate or Off
OK
PROJECTED HIGH
Glucose projected
to be above 240 mg/dL
204
mg/dL
The projected high glucose alarm provides an early warning of an event
that is likely to occur if the current trend continues . You select how early
you want to be notified (approximately 10, 20 or 30 minutes) before
your glucose level is predicted to reach the threshold value .
• Advance Notice: 10, 20 or 30 minutes
• Alarm Tones, Vibrate or Off
Data Loss Alarm
Notification that continuous data is no longer available .
Alarm Tones, Vibrate or Off
System Alarm
Notification for events like low battery and time to calibrate .
