For someone who knows what they are doing it is simple, just that I didn't.. getting better though!

Good luck Tim, it's fiddly but doable. Do you have a "helping hand" for the soldering? Hopefully you are better at soldering than me! I've built 2 now so if I can be of help let me know. What do you mean by resuscitate a dead sensor?

This statement on PR Newswire is interesting if a little difficult to believe: "the new Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM system does not require confirmatory finger sticks when making treatment decisions.*" Still needs 2 calibrations & confirmation when things are changing fast as with the Libre...

I'm very happy with my Dexcom CGM. It's made a big difference to me as an adult. I suggest joining the "Nightscout UK" Facebook group & the mainly American "CGM in the Cloud" group where there are lots of parents of Type 1 children. You'll also learn about the wonderful NightScout which allows...

Hi igmr xDrip is an open source project which allows you to send Dexcom data to your Android phone & from there up into the cloud so that a web page of live readings can be viewed from any browser. https://github.com/StephenBlackWasAlreadyTaken/xDrip This page gives you a good introduction to...

I have a similar set up, though no Pebble until I find a cheap one on eBay and I have the Dexcom receiver too. An excellent review. I agree with 99% of what you say though I usually do 2 calibrations a day. Also I still do 4 or 5 blood tests a day - some just to keep me legal for driving. If...

Go for it Tim! You won't regret it.

Not sure about the price but it's not quite as bad as you say. You get 2 transmitters in a box, each lasting 90 days + 18 days grace which totals 216 days, about 7 months.

I'm a Dexcom user & was looking forward to the G5. However after reading more about it I'll probably stick to the G4 which I hope will be around for quite a while. The first problem is that it's iPhone only. This will probably change, but the second problem is with the transmitters. They have...

Hi Sidney0942, Just wandering if you are OK now? That was a very, very high reading.

Same for me, about a week.

Yes that is correct. Both read the "raw" data but the Dexcom does more of an analysis checking & interpreting the last 2 or 3 readings giving a smoother graph. However if it can't make sense of the readings it shows "???" until it can or gives up. xDrip will show the readings even though they...

You might like to look at a none diabetics data. This chap has a type 1 child but is temporarily wearing a Dexcom himself. The Data is on a NightScout web page which he has made temporarily available so it is "Live" data. https://public-423e36-guest.nightscout.net/ N.B. It's in mg/dl - divide...

Sorry, it's just something that's cropped up there over the last month or so I've been looking at it. It wasn't a specific thread. Try searching for "bolus" in the box top right.

They do seem to be working along those lines. I've been looking at some of the conversations on Github e.g. https://gitter.im/nightscout/intend-to-bolus#utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=unread-notifications

Don't claim to understand but it sounds good! A system that "learns"?

Scott Leibrand & Dana Lewis of OpenAPS have already "closed the loop" and are controlling a Medtronic pump with great success. http://diyps.org/2014/11/26/what-weve-been-up-to-lately-closing-the-loop-with-diyps-and-open-process-work/

I wish! But they are wary of the FDA who wouldn't approve of them distributing this. Some experimental branches of NightScout use bits of the DIYPS code.

I'll try to be more careless...

Occasional sensors perhaps, but they might wonder why I was ordering extra transmitters..:(
