Urgent Low Soon Alert
At times, glucose levels fall quickly. The new Urgent Low Soon alert with Dexcom G6 can provide a warning up to 20 minutes in advance of severe hypoglycemia (glucose levels at or below 3.1 mmol/L), so you can take steps to prevent it.
Alert Schedule
Do you want to be alerted differently during the day than at night time or on the weekends? The new Alert Schedule setting with Dexcom G6 allows you to customize a second group of alerts to provide you with the flexibility you need for your busy life.
