You can set the meter to let you know when your blood glucose is
possibly too low. You can also select what blood glucose level you
want this alarm to have between 3.3 to 4.4 mmol/L. Before you
set the hypo alarm, talk to your healthcare professional to help
you decide what blood glucose level is your hypo level. Your meter
is pre-set to “OFF” for the hypo alarm. If you want to turn it “On,”
follow these steps.
