Thanks @Riva_Roxaban it didn't work. Although I downloaded it, it wouldn't open. I get a message saying For security reasons your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source
Ideas?

Yep, go into phone settings, then security. Then tick a box in "unknown sources?"
Which should allow app installation from trusted & unknown sources..
The try again... You may get another prompt asking if you allowi it? Click yes.

Brilliant @Jaylee I've found security but all it's letting me do is scan, no little tick boxes as you said. More ideas how to do this, to be honest it's so frustrating, I'm thinking of going back to pricking

Thanks @Jaylee the security setting is only allowing me to scan, don't get any little tick boxes. Baffled where to look and if I'm even looking in the right place. Knew being diagnosed T1 so late in life would be a real poo. can't cope thought getting a sensor would make things easier but xdrip is just a beast, seriously overwhelmed.

Hi, did you go into your phone settings & find security. Then get an option similar to this?

Thanks @Jaylee, just managed it so now there's a conversation going on between Miaomiao and sensor, it's taking quite a while to collect initial readings.
I really appreciated the pics, thanks and hope you're feeling better

Hi,

Yep. Somtimes it can take a while for the MM to pass on the readings. Especially if it's been out of action for a few hours.
It should soon catch up & be in sync.. Then the dots on the graph will appear.

I feel fantastic thanks. My work is outside, landscaping. (For want of a better job description.) great for building stamina.
Who needs a gym.. :)

Good to hear you're OK. Landscaping sounds intriguing, is that like intelligent and large scale gardening?

The forum acted up about 1 and a half hour ago for me, but it seems to be back to normal now.
Is it working again for you too?

Hi all, was just coming home from a local market when I saw three friends, neighbours, with time off so they're working on the garden belonging to one of them. Stopped to say hello, was offered a cup of tea in the garden, said yes and the rest of the morning vanished! I like serendipity :happy: hope you all find some in your day.

Do you use the app on your phone or your browser?

edit: never mind, I see you solved the issue already :)
