Setting the Low Glucose Alert
The Monitor is designed to alert the user when the system finds glucose values at or above the set high
glucose limit, or at or below the set low glucose limit. These alerts may be turned off if not needed or
wanted. If an alert is triggered, you should confirm the glucose value with a home glucose meter before
taking any action. Also, you should use a home blood glucose meter to confirm the symptoms of high and
low blood glucose. (See Chapter 1: Introduction for a list of symptoms.)
The low glucose alert can be set from 40-100 mg/dl (2.2-5.5 mmol/l). Enter a glucose value within this
range to set a low glucose alert. Typically, the number entered is above the value that causes you to have
symptoms of low blood glucose. Confirm the alert limit with your doctor.
For this feature to work, you must select ON, a value, and CONFIRM to save the value in memory. Always
treat low blood glucose per the advice of your doctor and the readings of your blood glucose meter.
