      160 mg/dL… I start to feel the high just above this number so I have it set so that I can attempt to prevent any ill feelings. Any lower than this causes too many alarms that don’t really help other than to annoy me or cause over correction on my part.

      I see someone has it set for 140. If my blood sugar could just stabilize at 140 for 24 hours, I would be elated. I wish we could have a conversation thread in these comments because I would love to know what sorcery this user employs such that 140 is considered hyperglycemic.

      Mine is set at 250, but it never gets that high. I was getting annoyed when I was already correcting it when it was high 100’s for a high.

      I use an Abbott Freestyle Libre without alarms, so am in the small percent of 3%. My blue range is 70 to 180 and I try to run in the blue range for sure. I am finding that if I delay eating after taking Humalog, numbers don’t spike so high. I go by the numbers not any alarms.

      I have mine set for 170, which is ten less than my TIR (180) so when it alarms I have some wiggle room to get it back in line without affecting TIR. I retired two years ago so have plenty of time to mess with my numbers without worry of being in a meeting or traveling as it was in the “olden days”.

      I think the flip side of this would be interesting. I’ve been using 160 during the days (but seeing some of your responses, I’m tempted to try for lower now) That said, at night I shift to 220. No matter what I’ve eaten, I tend to spike somewhere around 4 am every morning and the alarms drove me nutty with lost sleep.

      Mine’s at 200. That’s where my endo said to put it. I think it’s a little high, but it keeps me from getting waked up at night.

      While I aim for something much lower, I had to set the range to 180 because I was tired of the alarm going off at work during the afternoons after lunch.

      I use 130 during the day and 120 overnight. I sometimes get alarms after meals, but rarely other than that. 🙂

      200. ✍(◔◡◔) But kudos to @Austin Tremblay on the conversational thread that is sadly lacking here. There is sorcery. And there are miracles being worked managing the T1D condition. We need to know what works, in what circumstances, for what people, how often, and why. We are a tremendously pragmatic group, and if something works, it’s worth a try. (ง︡’-‘︠)ง

      I have my “high” setting at 8.4 mmol/l [151.2 mg/dL], and I use that setting 24 hours per day.

      I chose below 140, although in actuality my alert is set at 120. Depending on IOB, trend arrows, when I ate something I take action. That action may be a small correction or an increased basal. Over 140 I start to get horrid heartburn so if I ignore the alert, I have a backup waring system.

      I set mine to 120. I do not consider that “hyperglycemic” but it is out of range for a non-diabetic. I try to manage my blood glucose to that of a non-diabetic, in order to achieve the best long-term outcomes. (Fifty years as a T1D, so far so good!)

      140 for me as well. I restrict carbs to 30-40gr /day with few exceptions (intermittent keto) and rarely go over 140, with very few mild lows (1-2 mo). It’s hard not to miss bread, rice, pasta -it’s not fun, but I prioritize it hoping I will enjoy my children grow for many years to come.

      Mine is set at 230, but I would set it lower if I didn’t also have “rise alerts”, in which my Medtronic 670G makes predictions about where I’ll wind up based on current level, rate of change, and perhaps more. That’s almost always my first warning that I’m going high. So my high alert is actually the backup setting, where I get a second alert if I haven’t reacted appropriately or fast enough to the rise alert.

      I set the high for 200. Depending on what and when I eat, I may go over that number once during the day. My latest Time In Range is 97%.

      I selected the range 160-179, but I think that range is way too big. My high alarm is 160 because I want to keep below 180. If it alarms at 160, I may have a chance. If it was at 179, there would be nothing I could do. They are not the same

      180. I set it there because it does get that high occasionally but not that often and I don’t want to hear my pump alarms beeping at me when I am 146 or 167 after a meal. If I am at 180 or over, I take a look at why and can make adjustments as needed. Did I forget to bolus for food intake? Is the infusion set occluded? Is the cartridge empty? Overall with Tandem CIQ, BG fluctuations are much smoother and consistently in range.

      My Dexcom high alert is 280. After eating almost all kinds of carbs I will be well above 200 for a short amount of time and then come down. Tandem’s high and low are more in the normal range. Control IQ may not be working for me due to how quickly variable my BG is. Maybe when I can inform Tandem of an event such as sugar for a hypoglycemic event and it therefore doesn’t deliver insulin.

      180, if I see I’m going up I’ll set a higher temp basal rate on my Tandem pump.

      Set at 170. This helps me stay under my 180 goal.
