8.4 RISE AND FALL GLUCOSE RATE ALERTS
Rate Alerts notify you when your glucose levels are rising (Rise Alert) or falling
(Fall Alert), and by how much. You can turn the Rise and/or Fall Rate Alert on or
off, and choose how the Alerts are delivered (vibrate and beep, or vibrate only).
You can also choose whether the Alert should be delivered when your glucose
is either rising or falling 2 mg/dL or more per minute, or 3 mg/dL or more per
minute.
When Advanced features is turned on, “Rise Rate” and “Fall Rate” will appear
as additional options on the Alerts menu. The options for setting both a Rise
Rate Alert and Fall Rate Alert are the same.
The following steps will show you how to change your Fall Rate Alert settings.
1. Press the
TOP or BOTTOM TOGGLE button to
choose “Rise Rate” or “Fall Rate” and press the
SELECT button.
NOTE: To receive Rise and Fall Rate Alerts, Advanced Features must be
turned on.
