Libre 2 sensor alarms. Reader or iphone app

I have been using my iphone 11 app with the sensor but find the alarm volume quite low. Would I find the Abbott reader alarm loud enough to wake me when sleeping? It is a shame that we can’t set the alarms on both devices. I am very happy with the system and the fact that we can be given alarms for low and high glucose and then take the necessary action.

Hi,

Have you tried putting/standing your phone in a glass? (Empty of course.) this may act acoustically as an "amphitheatre" thus boosting the sound?

If you are sure that it isn't an iOS setting, and you are sure it's just a quiet file/sound, then you might want to take a look around to see if you can locate the actual sound files. Easily found on Android, eg FreeStyle LibreLink - Signal Loss Alarm.mp3, and replace it with something noisy!

Reader alarm wakes me. Much prefer it to the iPhone. Quicker to use.

I’m on Day 1 of my first Libre 2, and been playing with the alarm settings on my Librelink on the iphone 11.

Ye gods! Nearly gave me a heart attack. The dogs all panicked, and Mr B nearly fell off his chair. Fortunately the siren was so loud I couldn’t hear his swearing.

There are 2 options, the first is a shrill siren, that is as bad as an office fire alarm.
The second is whatever alert I have pre-chosen as a standard alert on my phone.

I will be going with the second option.
The thought of getting an accidental compression low in my sleep and that siren going off... no thanks!

I hear the alarm on my phone during the day when my sugars go to high but when asleep in the night they plummet and I don't wake up. Phone does nothing. Think they should of focused on improving the libre 1 before bringing out the libre 2.
