    Getting hypo alerts with libre, blucon and xDrip+

    Long time no see lads, I've been using the Nightrider for 7 months now and apart from the thickness (I use velcro dots) and some connectivity issues when I'm moving a lot it's been great. A few nights ago I was having a rather ... festive evening and got stuck on a wall in my basement and lost...

    That is the most utter ******** medical advice I have ever heard. I really want to slap whoever says something like this. I assume this was based on the characteristic of correcting too soon after a meal with IOB to still push you down, but still. Just educate the people properly on...

    I have both of these options enabled and I changed the battery when I put the sensor on. I hope it is age and settings related, I actually made a mistake when setting up the sensor in xdrip and didn't put the correct time in for when the sensor was inserted. I had set it up 2 hours before...

    Last night I set my new sensor and the way it looks is just wrong. I've been getting so much sensor noise that it becomes really hard to accurately estimate whether or not it's an ongoing upward trend or noise. (The low and high jumps from 6am-2pm have been a stable 100-120 (5.5-6.6)) Has...

    Thank all of you for your kind words. Going on 5 days and no sign of stopping, time to set a new highscore! I agree, you can make smaller adjustments and can react so much faster with a CGM as opposed to a single finger prick, which doesn't give you a proper "end glucose rise" value. Being...

    Just wanted to express my appreciation for this system again. Lately things have been going great and have been uneventful, so I wanted to share. I didn't think a CGM would make that much of a difference, but it really does. Cheers fellas, may you all have uneventful days.

    I'm using velcro dots, like these: I've cut them in the middle and positioned them left and right from to hole, as to not cover it for hygienic purposes. I've got hooks on the sensor and loops in the blucon. It makes the whole sensor kind of thick, but it's working great. Easy to take off...

    And we are live! I can't for the life of me get the cap unscrewed however. I've already damaged the groove by applying so much force, but it wouldn't budge. Got any tips for the cap? The Ambrosia facebook support gave me this video, but I still can't get the **** thing open!

    Hi Michael, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, I will post detailed updates as soon as I get my blucon. Try everything Scott said and report back! Try contacting them on facebook. They replied to me within a few hours. @Scott-C Do you have any problems with the Fossil Q Explorist so far? I've...

    Hi Scott, Thank you for the information, after that I went on facebook and saw their post. I already read that some people had problems with delivery, so I went a different route. I decided to go and order one off of ebay in the US from a medsupply reseller, who seems to be in stock and...

    Hey Scott, thanks for this thread, it's been very informative and helpful. How long does the Fossil battery charge last when used with a watchface like Nightwatch (Which I assume you're using by the picture you provided)?
