Silencing glucose alerts


Device: MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump

The Alert silence feature silences certain sensor alerts for a set period of time. When using this option, the Alert silence icon Alert silence icon appears on the Home screen. The system still displays any alerts that occur, but there is no sound or vibration if they are silenced. This information can be reviewed in the Alarm History screen.

The Alert silence feature does not silence:

  • High SG alert - when your sensor glucose (SG) value is above 250 mg/dL for more than three hours.
  • Low SG alarm - when your SG value falls below 54 mg/dL (with Guardian™ Sensor 3) or 64 mg/dL (with Guardian™ 4 sensor).
  • SmartGuard exit alert - when the pump exits the SmartGuard feature.
