How to get low, high and critical alerts for Tandem t:slim X2 and Mobi

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

  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.

  • Alerts are sent from our servers, so Sweet Dreams doesn't need to be open.
