5.3 GLUCOSE ALERTS AND LOW GLUCOSE ALARM
The G4-Global System lets you create your own personal settings for how you
want the Receiver to tell you what is going on. The Low and High Glucose Alerts
will tell you when you fall outside of your target glucose range. Rise and Fall
(Rate of Change) Alerts let you know when your glucose levels are changing
fast (see Chapter 8, Section 8.4). The G4-Global System also features a
non-adjustable Low Glucose ALARM that will tell you when your glucose levels
may be reaching potentially dangerous low levels. In addition to the Alert screens
that appear on your Receiver display, you can also set High and Low Glucose
Alerts to notify you with vibrations and beeps. This feature can be helpful during
times when you are not able to test your blood glucose on your meter (such as
sleeping, driving, exercise, or long meetings).

HELPFUL HINTS:
• Trend Arrows do not appear when there is
Missing Glucose Information (see Section 5.4).
If the
Symbol, the Wait Symbol , the Out
of Range Symbol
, or the Blood Drop Symbol
appears in the upper right corner, the Trend
Arrows will not appear.
• If the Trend Arrow is missing, but you are
concerned that your blood glucose level may be rising or falling, take a
fi ngerstick test on your blood glucose meter to check your readings.
