Low, high and critical alerts for your CGM readings

Free alerts for very low, low, high, very high, fast rises and drops, and missed readings. Each can be Regular, Time Sensitive, or Critical, which sounds even when muted and overrides Focus modes.

Free

How to set it up

  1. Go to Settings → Notifications in Sweet Dreams.
  2. Tap an alert (for example Low) and set its threshold.
  3. Tap Priority and choose Regular, Time Sensitive (stays on the Lock Screen for an hour) or Critical. Critical alerts play a sound even when your iPhone is muted and override Focus modes such as Sleep. Allow Critical Alerts when iOS asks.
  4. Set up missed-reading alerts too: a standard alert, plus an escalation if readings still haven't arrived.

Details
