Low alert settings


The Guardian™ Connect app will give you sensor glucose alerts to tell you when your glucose is low. You can set glucose alerts to notify you if your sensor glucose values:

  • Are predicted to go below your low limit (Alert Before Low)
  • Have reached your low limit (Alert on Low)

You can define your low alert settings for the entire day or use different settings during the day and at night.
