66 | Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
You can set the Fall Rate (how fast you are going
down) to one of two different Fall Rate levels, or
choose to turn this feature off. Depending on your
selection, you will be notifi ed if your glucose level is
falling 2 mg/dL or more each minute, or 3 mg/dL or
more each minute.
If your glucose reading rises or falls at or above/below the Alert setting you
chose, the Receiver will display an Alert. You can also set the Alert to vibrate or
beep (see Chapter 8, Section 8.4). Two examples are shown below:
If you set your Fall Rate to 2 mg/dL per minute
and your glucose readings fall at this rate or
faster, the FALLING Single Arrow screen will
appear and vibrate/beep according to your
settings.
If you set your Rise Rate to 3 mg/dL per minute
and your glucose readings rise at this rate or
faster, the RISING Double Arrow screen will
appear and vibrate/beep according to your
settings.
