    Thanks very much for your help. It sounds so confusing though. I am so awful with technology. Will use the other ideas in the mean time. Whilst I attempt to work it out! Thankyou [emoji4]

    Hi My little boy started dexcom yesterday. It's going great although I thought the alarms would be louder than they are but through the night I was not able to hear it go off when he went low. I just wondered if anyone knows how I can down load the information to my phone and if it can alarm...
