[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1588744, member: 374531"] Justadad, thought I'd mention that if he's ok with libre, there's a new toy out called a blucon nightrider. It's a small transmitter which is popped on top of the libre sensor with a sticking plaster or armband and then transmits readings every five minutes to a phone app called xDrip+ . The reason it's worth considering is that xDrip+ allows you to calibrate against bg tests to iron out sensor inaccuracies and also gives hypo/hyper alerts. There's also predicted lows - if you enter food and bolus amounts, it makes a reasonable stab at predicting where that'll take you and indicate a predicted low in x minutes. So you're basically getting full on cgm for a one off cost of £100 for the transmitter. Not waterproof so needs to be taken off for showers but not a big deal for the advantages it gives. There's also ways to get it to send results to other phones for remote monitoring but I've not looked into that. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and am very happy with it. Great for avoiding night hypos. Blucon can be bought here: [URL]https://www.ambrosiasys.com/[/URL] [URL]https://m.facebook.com/ambrosiasys/?locale2=en_GB[/URL] xDrip+ can be downloaded here: [URL]https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases[/URL] [/QUOTE]
