Dexcom G7 offers a wide range of customizable alert settings designed to help people with diabetes stay in control while minimizing disruption. In this walkthrough, I highlight seven key settings that can make a big difference in your daily diabetes management.

We start with adjusting basic alerts and exploring quiet modes, allowing you to silence notifications when you need uninterrupted time. Secondary alert profiles let you create tailored alert settings for different times of the day or specific situations, while snooze alerts and the “Delay First Alert” option give you even more flexibility to manage how and when you’re notified.

Dexcom G7 also integrates seamlessly with multiple devices. I show how I receive alerts on the Apple Watch and the Withings ScanWatch 2, making it easy to monitor glucose trends from your wrist. Additionally, you can display alerts on devices like Sugar Pixel at home, giving a clear, real-time overview of your glucose levels without constantly checking your phone.

If you want to see all these settings in action and learn how to make Dexcom G7 work best for your lifestyle, watch the full video at the top of the page.
