Prevent highs and lows by adjusting alert settings
Set up your G7 so you get alerts before your usual high or low levels. This gives you
time to prevent them which can keep your glucose in a narrower range.
Set these alerts so you have more time to prevent a high or low:
Rising Fast: Turn on
l
Falling Fast: Turn on
l
Low: 0.6 mmol/L higher than your usual level
l
High: 2.8 mmol/L lower than your usual level

Where can you place the sensor
You can place the Dexcom G7 sensor on:
