5.3.3 LOW GLUCOSE ALARM
The G4-Global System also has an automatic Low Glucose ALARM set at
55 mg/dL. This ALARM is a feature in addition to your personal Low and High
glucose Alerts. You cannot change or turn off this ALARM or its Re-ALARM
settings.
•
When your glucose reading is at or below 55 mg/dL the Receiver will notify you
with 3 ALARMS (each 5 minutes apart) that beep/vibrate as follows:
- 1st ALARM: Vibrate
- 2nd ALARM: Vibrate, then a series of rapid descending tones followed by
3 constant tones. Series is repeated 3 times.
- 3rd ALARM: Vibrate, then a series of rapid descending tones followed by
3 constant tones. Series is repeated 3 times. (louder)
•
The Receiver will vibrate and beep every 5 minutes after the 3rd ALARM if your
readings are still at or below 55 mg/dL, until you press any Receiver button to
clear it.
•
For Low Glucose ALARMs the Receiver will display
the screen to the right.
•
Re-ALARM: The Receiver will automatically notify
you again in 30 minutes after you press any
Receiver button to clear it, if your glucose readings
are still at or below 55 mg/dL.

up) to one of two different Rise Rate levels, or choose
to turn this Alert off. Depending on your selection,
you will be notifi ed if your glucose level is rising
2 mg/dL or more each minute, or 3 mg/dL or more
each minute.
