    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    For those successfully using both, which Android are you on? and which version of Diabox? I'm on Android 13, and wondering if it's related to the changes in Bluetooth low energy. I tried once more, and again, scanning with DB after LL is started and running breaks the BT connection with LL, and...

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    Also, it appears that clearing the Bluetooth cache is no longer an option on Android 13.

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    Thanks, I was thinking restarting the phone and switching Bluetooth off and on was enough, but I didn't try clearing the cache. For those that have Diabox and LibreLink working together, have any of you successfully started Diabox after the 1 hour startup period of LibreLink? and if so, does...

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    Okay, I uninstalled Diabox, and uninstalled then reinstalled LibreLink, and at least that now connects via BT. It meant losing the data in the app though (I know it's still there in LibreView, but it's nice to have the stats on the phone). It's all a bit frustrating.

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    It seems I spoke too soon, and the problems are continuing! I realised Xdrip+(via OOP2) only gets the data every 5 minutes, which isn't ideal. So I decided to give DiaBox another go simultaneously with LL, since many here say that works well for them. I've used Diabox before on its own and...

    type 1 diabetes

    They might want to check for MODY. This often gets misdiagnosed as Type 1 at first, and runs in families. There are a few threads on this forum about it. Anyway, getting the tests seems a good idea, as more certainty about the right diagnosis could lead to better treatment.

    Smart watches

    I believe there is not yet any commercially available non invasive glucose measuring watch that actually works, and the ones that are advertised are scams. There are a lot of companies working on it, and if one ever really cracks it I'm sure we'll all hear about it. Many people do get their...

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    Ok, I'm not sure exactly what setting I messed up the other day, but it now seems to be working. Xdrip with OOP2 connected via Bluetooth and LibreLink still working for scans.

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    Yes, that's what I was originally trying to do and asking about. LL with NFC only, and Xdrip with the live BT feed. When I tried before I couldn't get this working - it seemed even with LL nearby devices permission off, scanning with it was breaking the connection for Xdrip, but I'm trying...

    Do you keep both connected via Bluetooth without problems?

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    I guess I could also just give Juggluco on its own a go if it can upload to Libreview. I got somewhat used to Xdrip, but all I really need is: -a way to share the data with my team in a way they're happy with -more customisable alarms (particularly snooze instead of dismiss) -calibration -a...

    Best settings for Xdrip and LibreLink together?

    I'm using Libre2 sensors, and prefer Xdrip+ for most monitoring purposes and alarms. However, I'd also like to keep all the data updated on LibreLink, for the stats, and for sharing with my DSN. However, I'm struggling to find the right combination of settings and permissions and sequence of...

    Low energy after eating, but with normal sugars

    I think some amount of "postprandial somnolence" is normal, and not just for diabetics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postprandial_somnolence With big carby/fatty meals (like a Christmas dinner), even if I absolutely nail the dose and timing and stay perfectly in range, I can get a bit...

    Type 1 Going abroad with Insulin

    I've never worried about keeping it cool while traveling and never had any problems. I believe the 1 month out of the fridge guideline is for the worst case when it is at the top end of the room temp range the whole time, not that any time out of the fridge starts a one month countdown. If you...

    Coffee

    If the coffee tastes bad without milk, maybe try a different type of coffee maker or better coffee. I love my Moka pot, it's rich and dense without any need to add anything. I usually drink it black, but went through a phase of stirring in a teaspoon of butter.

    How high is the dawn phenomenon ?

    What basal are you on? I think timing the doses can help a little with DP. Not much, because basals usually have a fairly flat peak compared to the speed of the dawn glucose rise, but with the shorter duration of Levemir I find taking my second dose just before bed can slightly reduce it...

    Prescription delays

    I realise it doesn't help you in the short term, but as a long term strategy I try and keep a decent buffer of supplies, especially insulin, so even if there's an issue with one prescription, or a supply shortage, natural disaster etc. I'd have enough for quite a while. I keep it in date order...

    Sugar spikes 2 or more hours after eating

    Yes, many of us find that certain foods cause a very delayed rise. Pizza is notorious for this. It can give a small quick rise at first, nothing for hours, then suddenly a much bigger rise. I think it has to do with the fat slowing the absorption of the carbs, but there's also something...

    Has anyone found a reliable strategy with beer?

    I barely drink at all these days, but I remember a few bad experiences in my early diabetic days as a teenager where after having quite a few drinks I felt hot and headachy but sober, then I tested and realised I had very high BG. So I injected a big correction and suddenly it was like the...
