Welcome @mlg! My son is only 4 (diagnosed at 2 yo), but I’m having difficulty waking up myself now to alerts. [This thread](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/wifi-alarm-for-night-monitoring/1153/9) has some great recommendations for how you can make alerts louder, etc., so that your son can hear the alerts. I am planning on purchasing [the Sonic Alert System](https://www.harriscomm.com/sonic-alert-traditional-system-uss-360-universal-sound-transmitter.html), because it allows me to have other external sources of light/sound that will enable me to wake up. You may want to consider investing in such a device! Again, Welcome! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/high-school-son-wont-wake-up-to-alarms-help/3328)._
