[QUOTE="Minion#2, post: 2503959, member: 541076"] Thank you for your replies, that has helped a great deal. I dont think I have explained the issue with the low/high alarms very well. The phone has NFL and bluetooth but When paired with the phone he is only getting low glucose alarms 50% of the time so sometimes he will do a routine scan and it will show that maybe an hour before it had dropped anywhere between 4.3 to 3.2 but no alarm sounded. Also, I am connected via librelinkup and I only get half the low glucose alarms too, but frequently get them when he doesnt. This is causing a great deal of issues if I get the alarm when at work but he doesnt as I am sat there expecting him to then treat a potential hypo but he doesnt even know about it! Due to his age, I have to trust that he can manage his own condition and I need to give him the time to do this so I prevent myself from ringing/texting him to make sure he is ok as I know he will be busy treating it. But on days when it tells me and not him, I am sat there wondering and waiting to see what will happen. On one day in particular I was receiving low glucose alarms for half an hour before I caved in and contacted him. It was another 10 minutes before he realised, scanned and treated the hypo - he had his phone alerts on silent but his libre notifications on. Obviously if it had of sent him the notification he could have treated it but it didnt go off. [/QUOTE]
