Diabetes Management System User Guide | Chapter 8
An “Active Alert” icon (
) will appear on the Home screen if the Very
Low Glucose or Low Glucose Alerts are still active (initial problem not
yet resolved). Tap the Active Alert icon on the Home screen to display
that Alert.
Note:
If you ignore an alert, you will receive it again if the condition still
exists.
The Very Low Glucose Alert is always on. You can always go back into
MY SETTINGS in your App to turn other Alerts on or off as needed.
See
Appendix A
for a complete list of Alerts you may receive on your
phone/App, and recommended next steps.
WARNINGS:
• Do NOT ignore Alerts from Bigfoot Unity. Alerts help inform you
about Sensor availability, low glucose, or if you may have missed
your long-acting insulin dose. Paying attention to alerts can help
prevent severe low or high glucose.
• Alerts and Notifications appear on the phone only and do NOT
appear on the Caps or the Sensor itself. Make sure to have your
Bigfoot Unity App and phone set up properly to receive alerts.
Receiving Alerts and Notifications on your App/phone can help
prevent severe low or high glucose.
• Always check the Black Cap for the time since last dose if you
receive a Long-Acting Dose Alert on your phone.
Checking the Black Cap for the time since last dose will help
ensure you take the next dose of insulin at the correct time, and
help avoid severe low or high glucose.
• Always keep your phone on and charged with the Bigfoot Unity
App open (do not force close), and keep your phone nearby
(within 20 feet). This will help you receive and hear Notifications
and Alerts, which may prevent severe low or high glucose.
CAUTION:
Do NOT leave headphones connected to the phone
when you are not using them. If you have headphones connected
to the phone, Notifications and Critical Alerts will not sound or
vibrate on the phone.
