[Diabetes-Talk] G5 question

[Gary-melconian]

I just put it on vibrate and don't worry about it.

Thanks! I just finished watching some videos and doing more research on the
G5 app, and it sounds like I can put them on vibrate only to resolve some of
the noise issues. I understand the below 55 alert will still holler at me! I
really want the ability to calibrate on my own, so I will just have to
figure this out. Four example, none of my kids were awake when I left this
morning, so I had to not calibrate when I really wanted to! So, I will have
to figure out how to keep my phone as quiet as possible. Also, what do you
do at night? Put your phone on mute or do not disturb?
