BG high Orange BG >300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L) ≥7.5
Any RoC
Alert low Red BG ≥70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) ≥7.5
RoC < −1 mg/(dL·min) [−0.06 mmol/(L·min)]
BG <70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) within 30 min at current RoC
Alert high Red BG ≤300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L) ≥7.5
RoC > +1.5 mg/(dL·min) [+0.08 mmol/(L·min)]

BG levels should be paired with RoC values calculated from the current and preceding BG level.

BG, blood glucose; RoC, rate of change.
