[Diabetes-Talk] dexcom alarm question

[jamielgurganus at gmail.com]

Ed,

     With the G6 though, I don't think having the alerts on vibrate stop the urgent low, impending urgent low and signal loss alarms.  That would be nice, since they are super loud and get louder if they aren't dismissed.  I also had my Dexcom on vibrate along with the Apple watch, which worked with the G5.  Is that your experience?  Maybe, I don't have the right devices set on vibrate only.  

					Jamie

Hello,

You can adjust the settings to vibrate only. I have it set this way as I wear an Apple Watch and that vibrates my wrist every time the alert goes off. That’s the only way I have found to lesson the loud alerts that Dexcom forces us to use.
