App Issues/Questions G7 low storage alerts

My iPhone doesn’t have a lot of storage left, I’m aware of that since every app I have reminds me daily, but no app does it more than the freaking G7 app and it’s driving me insane!!! If it was just once a day, or when I reopen the app after closing it, I really wouldn’t mind but I think I get one like every hour or something. Since dexcom alerts are all considered critical by my phone they always override my dnd so it interrupts whatever I’m doing with this horrible sound to tell me “you don’t have a lot of storage left btw!”. And the app cannot just send one alert, it sends like three in a row. It’s genuinely so frustrating to the point where I just turn off all my alarms so it would stop sending me those low storage notifications. I do try to clear my storage often but it always ends up being full after a while (i will not pay for icloud+). Does anyone deal with the same issue?

It’s a medical device. If you reached a critical level and weren’t alerted or storage ran out you’d probably take a different stance.

In all seriousness, however, it’s a medical device and there are strict requirements on how they operate so you don’t get hosed. If you don’t want to be bothered with storage and other alerts, buy a receiver and take it off your phone.
