About Glucose Alarms

The FreeStyle Navigator® system is designed to alert you when your glucose levels reach preset low or high values. These values or ‘threshold values’ can be programmed in the receiver for any individual. These high and low glucose alarms or the threshold alarms are designed to alert you when your glucose levels cross these threshold values.

High Threshold (180 mg/dL)

Low Threshold (80 mg/dL)

Example of a High Glucose Threshold Alarm - The alarm sounds when the glucose level crosses the preset threshold value.

Example of a Low Glucose Threshold Alarm - The alarm sounds when the glucose level crosses the preset threshold value.

In addition to alerting you of a high or low glucose condition, the system can also alert you before you reach such a high or low glucose condition. These alarms are called the projected high and projected low glucose alarms. They can be set at low, medium and high sensitivities to alert you approximately 10, 20 or 30 minutes before your glucose levels reach the high or low threshold values, assuming your glucose keeps changing at the same rate. You can turn all glucose alarms ON or OFF. If the alarms are turned OFF, you will not get any alarms.

High Threshold (180 mg/dL)

Example of a Projected High Glucose Alarm - The alarm sounds before the glucose level reaches the preset threshold value.

Low Threshold (80 mg/dL)

Example of a Projected Low Glucose Alarm - The alarm sounds before the glucose level reaches the preset threshold value.

These alarms are designed to help you take action as soon as you are notified. Projected low and projected high glucose alarms increase the overall ability to detect a condition of low or high glucose. However, they cannot be relied on exclusively for notification of all low and high glucose conditions.

High and low glucose threshold alarms can detect a low or high glucose condition more often than projected high and projected low glucose alarms (see alarm performance under performance characteristics for more information). Therefore, do NOT turn off the low and high glucose threshold alarms to rely just on the projected high and projected low glucose alarms.

In order to get maximum notification of low and high glucose conditions, use both the low and high glucose threshold alarms AND the projected low and projected high glucose alarms.
