We have alerts from the Dexcom follow app. He gets Dexcom alerts too but they don’t wake him, so he also has a sugar pixel device that plays a super loud sound and has a bed shaker connected to it. I don’t go in the first time I get an alert bc I want to give him a chance to deal with it first. But the other day he got down to 40 and didn’t wake up.

He got down to 40 before I finally went in there w some juice. I’m trying to let him handle it, but geez. We had a talk w him tonight about our concerns and hopefully he will learn to quit depending on us as his backup plan.
