> [@mlg](#): > > I am a nervous wreck over this! @mlg, for the past year I have been Looping with Omipod and Dexcom. I also don’t wake up to alarms. I am not in college yet but I am a junior in high school. With Loop, it is a lot less likely that “I’ll wake up dead” 🙂 My mom is not really a techie, but with the instructions on LoopDocs she has been able to compile my apps, and I know I could do it too (but she is really nice and does it for me). I am also working on a system to trigger a siren and strobe lights: I already have it working from a phone call as a trigger. It requires wifi. I use a Yolink hub. I plan to use Nightscout to trigger IFTTT, so that I don’t need a phone call trigger, just a low BG. Once the whole thing works I’ll start a thread here on FUD and explain how it all works: absolutely anyone will be able to duplicate it. But @TiaG has already done one like that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/college-son-not-hearing-dexcom-low-alarms-at-night/11797)._
