    Getting hypo alerts with libre, blucon and xDrip+

    I beleive that insulin data for display on XDrip+ has to be downloaded from a Nightscout account in the colud, if you have one set up. I think that the Nightscout insulin data has to be read from either a Dexcom or Medtronic sensor and then sent to Nightscout. You will see in the Nightscout...
