How do I adjust my alert settings to prevent lows and highs?

Adjusting the following Dexcom G7 alerts might give you more time to prevent a low or a high. Please remember to always consult your healthcare provider before adjusting your alert settings.
  • Rise Rate: Consider turning on your Rising Fast alert and setting your Rise Rate to alert you when your glucose is rapidly increasing
  • Fall Rate: Consider turning on your Falling Fast alert and setting your Fall Rate to alert you when your glucose is rapidly decreasing
  • Low Alert: You can adjust your Low Alert settings to alert you before your levels go too low; for example, 0.6 mmol/L higher than your usual level
  • High Alert: You can adjust your High Alert settings to alert you before your levels go too high; for example, 2.8 mmolL lower than your usual level
