The Bigfoot Unity
™
Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 8
When you set up the App for the first time, you were given the option
to allow alerts to come through to your App/phone even if it is muted,
your screen is locked or is set to “Do Not Disturb.” It is possible to
have multiple alerts active at any time. Always keep your Bigfoot Unity
App open (do not force close) on your phone and keep your phone
near you when you are wearing your Sensor (within 20 feet). This
will help you receive and hear Notifications and Alerts, which may
prevent severe low or high glucose. In addition, having your App within
communication range of your Black Cap (within 20 feet) after you take
a dose of long-acting insulin helps ensure that you will receive the
Long-Acting Dose Alert at the appropriate time. However, you should
always check the Black Cap for the time since last dose to be sure.
Alerts will display on your App. When multiple
alerts are active, you can swipe left to display
the other alerts. Active Alert screens appear
in priority order, beginning with the most
important. After tapping
OK
to acknowledge
an Alert, the pop-up Alert screen will no longer
appear on the Home screen. Alerts may also
display on a compatible watch depending on
the settings.
OK
No glucose alerts available.
Keep phone near Sensor for
communication to resume.
Make sure phone is within 20
feet (6 meters) of the Sensor or
try scanning Sensor with your
White Cap for <Insulin>.

Alerts
IMPORTANT:
Glucose alerts are an important safety feature for
some people. For example, those that have impaired awareness
of hypoglycemia or a history of severe hypoglycemia. Make sure to
turn
Bluetooth
and Critical Alerts settings on or you will not be able
to use the Bigfoot Unity App.
Alerts
Certain situations regarding your glucose and
Sensor status are important for your diabetes
management and can result in an alert on
your App/phone regardless of whether you
have scanned the Sensor with the White Cap
or are looking at the App. Alerts require your
immediate attention. These include a Very
Low Glucose Alert, a Low Glucose Alert,
Sensor Unavailable Alerts, and a Long-Acting
Dose Alert. With proper settings, Alerts will
display, sound and vibrate on your
App/phone.
