Grr. You can't set the CGM upper range alarm, which is also the upper line on the CGM graph, any [lower] than 6.7 mmol/L. It also jumps in what look suspiciously like intervals of 10 mg/dl - you can't just set any number.

And you can't have more than one "Combo" (delayed delivery) dose active. Really, how hard would it be for you to be able to stack them? It means if I eat protein less than two hours apart I have to cancel the Combo and manually combine the new Combo with the remaining dose on the previous Combo. Grr again.

well I reduced my upper range down from 14.4 so it does go higher than 6.7. You are talking about high alert arent you?

Agree on the combo though.
 
And I can't set the Low Alarm reminder to more frequently than every 30 minutes. That actually seems a dangerous limitation. I wanted to set it to 15 or 10. If I'm low, I want to be on it.

Not 100% sure what you mean if you mean the level the alarm goes off for hypo warning highest you can set it is 5.5 and lowest is 3.3.
Having the **** thing alarming any more than every 30 mins if you are low would cause me to hurl said pump to outer space if it kept alarming esp if you were sitting at 4.4 and had just dropped off to sleep for the night.
 
Fair point. If I am low though I do want it to be reminding me and even waking me up if I am not dealing with it. So this is the time interval it reminds me at, if I am below my programmed Lower range, and haven't fixed it yet.

I wonder if the settings are any better on the Dexcom Standalone CGM.

Good question. I have one, I should check. In general yes the CGM settings are much more flexible on the standalone receiver. (They are now calling it the "Dexceiver" - yuk!)
