Try CAA1C.
I just tried on my reader and it worked, but I use the old Libre1 reader with my Libre2 so not sure if it's the same if you have the newer reader. (I mainly use my phone, only use the reader in the swimming pool.).

Yes it is, I posted this code earlier.

How does that work? When I moved over to Libre 2 had to have a new reader as the original one wasn’t compatible. Now I use an I Phone the reader won’t work at all. Would be useful to have a reader on side of pool when swimming that I was less worried about.

The code works with the Libre 2 reader ... just used it to allow half unit dose logging :)

I have no idea why my reader 1 works with libre 2. It doesn't do alarms because it doesn't have bluetooth but it scans just fine.

If you want to use both phone and reader, you need to start a sensor with the reader first before you use your phone. This means you won't have the alarms on your phone because they will only go to the reader because that was the device you started the sensor with.
So don't do this if you want the alarms from the Libre app on your phone!

I use the libre app to log my insulin and see the different graphs, but I use the DiaBox app for alarms and to have my BG displayed on my phone all the time without having to scan my sensor. I love that it has a calibration option too, my sensors tend to read lower than blood so very useful to me. :)

And DiaBox even has a widget to display my BG on my homescreen, it updates every minute!
Looks like this:

That's exactly how I use mine. I have it in one of those waterproof phone bags on the side of the pool, together with an apple.
At my local swimming pool everyone is now used to the reader and the apple being there, and me occasionally munching on my apple to nudge my BG up a little without even leaving the water! :hilarious:
 
My pharmacy and all pharmacies around me are really struggling to get hold of Lyumjev and unless I get more by Tuesday I’ll be back on Novorapid :( Definitely would feel like a massive step backwards
 
@Nicola M When I first started using Afrezza, I had a hard time getting the first refill as my pharmacy was out of stock. It was aggravating, but it hadn't been that long and in my case I was still using my Humalog in my pump with the Afrezza for most of my bolus dosing. But it's not that bad, just aggravating when you know something works better. Hopefully it won't be too long before you can get it. In my case using some Humalog for dosing works better with the Afrezza anyways.
 
Since starting Lyumjev my time in range has now averaged out closer to 80%. Carelink predicts my hba1c to be 49, when it predicted I was around 52 I had it tested at the hospital and it was 43 so crikey knows what it will be now! :hilarious:
 
good morning guys it's been a while i hope everyone is safe and healthy.
i was just wondering what is a good hba1c percentage
