Rise Rate:
Your device alerts you when your glucose is rising at a rapid (2mg/dL/
min) or very rapid (3mg/dL/min) rate. This feature helps you avoid staying high over
a long period of time.
Fall Rate:
Your device alerts you when your glucose is falling at a rapid (-2mg/
dL/min) or very rapid (-3mg/dL/min) rate. This feature helps you avoid low glucose
events.
By default, the following alert is turned

Signal Loss:
Your device alerts you when you aren’t receiving sensor glucose
readings. Signal loss happens when your display device and transmitter stop
communicating; make sure you are within range (20 feet), without obstruction.
When using both the app and the receiver at the same time, you need to acknowledge
alerts on each device separately
