For you, or for a child or parent you look after.
- One Profile per Nightscout server: yourself, a child, a parent
- Each Profile has its own colour, glucose targets, alerts and menubar label
- One card per person in the popover; click a card to open its Analytics
Alerts for each Profile
- Low, high, urgent low, urgent high and stale-data alerts for each Profile
- Each notification shows who, the value with unit, the trend and the age
Alerts are a convenience, not a safety-critical system. Keep using the alarms of your approved CGM, receiver or pump.
