Doula, the urgent low can't be changed but the one you want to play with and change is called urgent low soon. The word, soon is part of the title. That's the alarm you can turn on and then select a sound for. It will alert you if it thinks you're going to be low within 20 minutes.

Hi Jamie,

     Yes, my low alarm is set at 95.  That way I can catch it before I'm feeling awful.  If I understand it correctly though, the urgent low soon alarm is connected to the urgent low set at 55.  I thought that people were saying they were changing the urgent low setting so that they are actually using the urgent low soon alarm?  Maybe that's the part I'm misunderstanding.  Thanks for everyone's responses and help.
Doula

I don’t think it can be changed, just the low alarm. The urgent low is there to let you know that you are dropping and will reach 55 within 20 minutes if you don’t treat it. I have my low set at 75, but some people change that to A higher value.
