I'm running xDrip without a Dexcom receiver, there is no need for a Dexcom receiver. xDrip has no concept of a '7 day sensor'. You start it, then use it till you remove it, my last/first sensor lasted 23 days. There is a sensor stop/stop option but it advises not to use them unless you actually...

Great news, hopefully it will be approved here by the time my current G4 expires. I'm hoping CGM development is really going to accelerate now that Dexcom has partnered with Google. I know the xDrip guys are hanging out to get there hands on a G5. I'm sure they'll give us a great alternative...

Did a search on Skin Tac in Australia and all I got was liquid nails, that'll hold it in place! Might have to import it, I see there are swabs and liquid, which works better?

Small carb/insulin doses calculated from movement in your cgm readings. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/sugar-surfing.78198/

My understanding is that the transmitter sends raw data from the chemical reaction in the sensor (which I thought would vary as the sensor gets older). The receiver interprets the raw data into a BGL with the help of its calibration readings. So yes, the xDrip and Dex get the same signal from...

How do you tell when your sensor has had it? I'm still on my 1st sensor (12 days), I'm seeing a few 'scattergun' areas when readings are moving up/down by 1-1.5 mmol for 1/2 an hour or so before flattening out again. I also get the odd single reading @ around 2 mmol then goes back to where it...

You shouldn't be nervous, you should be excited. This is your chance to learn the ins and outs of T1. It's the start of becoming fully self sufficient in your T1 management. I don't really agree with their diet guidelines but the mechanics of dose adjustment and correction will last you the...

Canadian prices look similar to AUD. I just bought 4 sensors and transmitter for $910. No receiver required. Had to pay the inflated "1st time" transmitter price though. I will use the xDrip until I get a G5. Also picked up a 2nd hand pebble on the weekend for $60. I like it. You can get...

Got my new toy (G4) and just set a new personal record for the longest run without change, 1 hour at 5.6 (12 ticks). Also had a run of 4 hours 30 of 5.6 +-0.2 Small things amuse small minds...

Really, that sucks. I have an AU 'new customer' order form here which has receiver,transmitter and sensors listed as separate items. I'm thinking of trying to order a box of sensors. After they're processed, I can try ordering a transmitter at 'subsequent order' price ($100 cheaper)

Yes it's a tic tac box, 3d printer file on xDrip wasn't quite right but dremel fixed it, maybe they have bigger tic tacs in the US. I'm liking nightscout, I have it loaded in a browser tab while working so I can easily see readings, I also find it easy to change the js for a few minor UI...

Started my 2 week Dexcom trial on Friday and it's pretty impressive. Being able to see the trend makes a huge difference in predicting where you're heading. I also got the last of my xDrip parts and made my xDrip hardware (xBridge2 version) so I can check the accuracy and reliability of the...

I'm currently reading a book called "Your Diabetes Science Experiment" by "Ginger Vieira". She's a T1 bodybuilder who has to gain/lose weight quickly for competitions and obviously reduce fat and gain muscle. She documents her T1 reaction to different foods/conditions as "experiments" and has...

You'll have to change your user name ☺

Wow, I think you're on top of the podium, I've never seen under mid 2s

Hi @Suzanneal , I've been on lc for about 6 months now. I found that when I stayed at < 50g a day I was getting high reading, around 8. I had to keep correcting multiple times a day, very frustrating. I believe that I was getting glucagon released for some reason at these levels. I have...

I can't believe you're not able to book an appointment with a specific Endo that gets to know you and that you're comfortable with, is this 2015 or 1915?

I did that up until 2 years ago, only looked at new options once chemist said they'd have to order my insulin in.

@joules Sorry if i confused the issue further, I'm just raising a couple of points which I would look at if I was in your situation. You should discuss these with your team before proceeding with any changes. Also, I wasn't suggesting you go back to Lantus, I was just curious about the reasons...

Just ordered all my parts, hope it all gets here before my G4 trial
