[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1526209, member: 374531"] [USER=76095]@jrussell88[/USER] and [USER=70535]@barrym[/USER] , Barry, you're right, it picks up raw data and the algo in the app linkblucon is different so it often reports different levels to a reader scan. I've used it a bit more now so am getting to grips with it's quirks. In some respects, it's actually more useful than the reader. For example, the other day, I was sliding down from 6 to just under 4, after a bit of a lunch bolus miscalc, had taken some sugar to tweak it back up but in the minutes before that got to work, I could see from linkblucon that I was going down through 5 to 4, but the predictive algo in the reader had over reacted and was telling me I was at 2.3!

I'm getting quite fond of it now. There's been a couple of bug fix updates which seem to have fixed the randomness I had over the two days I mentioned previously. I'm keeping the box it came in. In ten years time, I'll hopefully be ablecto sell it for a fortune on e-bay as a rare artefact from the early days of cgm, like those guys who've got vintage toy cars in their original boxes!
