[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1486541, member: 374531"] Hi, Tasha, before I answer those questions I need to say that I was getting brilliant results from it, very close to meter, for the first two days, but for the last two days, they've been totally out, normally about half what the meter is, or more. It was telling me that I was at 1.39 at one point, when meter said 4! Although, curiously, it is a fair bit closer today: last bg test was 7, blucon read 5.83. So, while I was initially very enthusiastic about it for the first two days, I'm now really dubious about it. Maybe I've just got a ratty sensor, so it's maybe just bad luck. I'll try it again on the last four days of my next sensor and see if that works out better. It's only been on the market for a few weeks, so there's maybe a few teething problems to be ironed out. I was getting duff readings from the libre reader too, which suggests it is a duff sensor. Whether blucon caused that, or the sensor would have been duff anyway, I don't know. I've done some posts about it here: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/life-with-libre.118450/page-11#post-1485916[/URL] Anyway, re your questions: I'm kind of old fashioned when it comes to phones and amn't really up to speed on different operating systems.
