Which CGM has the best family alerts?

I'm looking into getting a CGM and one of the biggest things I'm interested in is the ability for family members to get alerts if something goes wrong.

The low glucose alarms and remote sharing features seem really useful, especially for people who live alone, children with diabetes, or anyone whose family worries about overnight lows.

For people who use CGMs with sharing, how useful are the alerts in real life? Do your family members actually find them helpful, or does it become stressful with too many notifications?

Also curious which CGM systems people prefer specifically for reliable low alerts and sharing.

The sharing feature is probably the biggest reason I keep using a CGM. My wife gets my low alerts and it gives both of us peace of mind, especially overnight.

My husband follows my readings too. The biggest thing we learned was agreeing what actually needs a phone call versus what is just a normal alert. Otherwise every small change becomes stressful.
