### Skip Options

Some alarms can be told to stay quiet when the situation is already correcting itself. These toggles are **off by default**, so existing alarms behave exactly as before.

| Alarm | Option | Behavior |
|:--|:--|:--|
| Low BG | **Skip if BG is rising** | Stays silent while glucose is rising; only sounds when the latest reading is flat or still falling. |
| High BG | **Skip if BG is falling** | Stays silent while glucose is falling; only sounds when the latest reading is flat or still rising. |
| Low Battery (phone) | **Skip while charging** | Stays silent while the phone is charging. Requires the uploader to report charging status; if it doesn't, the alert still sounds. |

For the two BG alarms, the direction is judged from the last two readings.
