Hi, misspinky, you've got the right place (lots of mm users here), but wrong time (Saturday night, we're all out getting pi**ed!).

I'll tag a few other mm users to see if we can figure out an answer to this: @Knikki , @porl69 , @Mel dCP

The Tomato app is very basic, few of us use it.

If you're on an android phone, I'd delete Tomato, and install xDrip+:

https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases

Yes, I know, it looks like a really dubious download from a site which you've never heard of, but it works, trust me on this.

Click the burger menu at top left, then Bluetooth Scan, wait a while, your mm should show up there, click it, and follow the instructions from there.

If you're on ios, hmm, well, that's had some ups and downs recently, I'll let Mel explain those...

When you get the mm working, it's well worthwhile.

Morning my lovely, yes for an iPhone, you really do need Spike to get the best from your MiaoMiao - go to spike-app.com and have a look there. Because it’s an unofficial app, you need to “sideload” it using a computer - do you have one?

Good morning....thanks for the tag Scott. I use Android and Xdrip. Unfortunately no clue with iPhone. Once you get Spike up and running you will love the MM

Lol, well done, misspinky, it's always exciting when you see those first few dots appear on the screen!

Pretty much everyone who uses libre/mm/spike or xdrip+ report them as making T1 management way easier; safely dropping a1cs, fewer hypos and hypers and just general peace of mind with having the hypo alerts, so welcome to this brave new world!
