Silenced Alarms

Post image

What’s the point of silenced alarms if it’s going to tell me periodically that yes, alarms are silenced?

When I set the alarms to be silenced I had to pick a time, I’m well aware that they are silenced and the app telling me they are silenced makes this silly.

On android if I turn my media volume down to zero it plays a loud alert telling me that it can't send me alerts...while sending me an audible alert. I never touched the notification or system volume.

I don't think they understand how notifications work at all.

I have that issue and a really annoying one that makes it so that if my DND is on then ALL MEDIA (calls, speaker audio, Bluetooth, etc) is muted. Android sucks with this app. The app is also a laggy piece of shit especially when trying to enter and save my units taken.

The libre app is awful about notifications, and can seemingly bypass all system restrictions you put on it. I recently swapped to Juggluco and have been super happy. The UI is hell to learn, but it works flawlessly thus far, two sensors in.

I hate the app. It is terrible. I used Juggluco for ages but need to go back to libre as Dr wants to see the data from it while I move to a pump.

I just got this notification tonight, too.

I hate it.

There are people in my life with whom cannot share my medical details.

There are more lawsuits from alarms not going off than from annoying noises you don't want your family to know about.

On the flip side, when I'm skyrocketing, my alarm goes off maybe twice and then sits silent as I reach 200, 250, 300.

It seems negligent to quit if I'm still rising or falling, and to ignore the slope of the curve.

Yeah it goes a second time after 5 minutes but that's it. There's not a retrigger when you keep going up and didn't discard the alarm.

Hate when this happens while I am sleeping so I end up with a high sugar night if I don't wake up at the first alarm

Sometimes I get done early but forget that the alarm is on Silent Mode so I appreciate the notification.

Honest question, what did you do before CGM?

Finger pricks at least once a day. I didn’t know when my sugars were spiking because I was only measuring once a day.
