5.3.2 LOW GLUCOSE ALERT
When your G4-Global System readings are at or
below your Low Alert level, the screen shown to the
right will appear. You can also set the Receiver to
beep and vibrate when this screen appears
(see Chapter 2, Section 2.5). The default level is set
at 80 mg/dL, but you can adjust this value.
When you set the Low Glucose Alert, the level is
indicated by the bottom of the gray zone on the Trend
Graphs. (if the High Glucose Alert is not set, the Low
Glucose Level is indicated by a horizontal gray line.)
The Receiver will continue to alert you until you press
any Receiver button, or until your glucose readings
rise above your Low Glucose Alert level. You can
choose to have the Receiver re-alert you every
15, 30 minutes or 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 hours after clearing
the Alert, by changing your Snooze settings
(see Chapter 8, Section 8.7). Snooze settings for the
Low Glucose Alert are only available if Advanced
features is turned on (see Chapter 8, Section 8.1).
