Yes, I think this will be my last post on this thread too, perhaps we ought to start a new thread, just following how our continued use of both Libre and Shuggah goes on? Yesterday I did another sensor change and followed the routine I have now established, without much difficulty. I put on my...

Correct, I have not had it turned on for about 2 weeks now. I have just checked my data in LibreView and it is all there. I do make sure I do a scan before going to sleep and another as soon as I wake up, so as to ensure I don’t have a gap greater than 8 hours between scans. I make sure I enter...

So today I changed my sensor and decided that I would continue running Librelink without Bluetooth and just scanning regularly and with Shuggah Bluetooth turned on would use that for alarms and regular notifications to my smartwatch. I used my iPhone to activate my new sensor while keeping my...

When I had both LibreLink and Shuggah, running side-by-side, both with Bluetooth turned on, when a LibreLink alarm sounded it also showed on my Garmin smartwatch, along with the actual reading at the time of the alarm. It also identified whether it was a high or low alarm. I did not get any...

Yet again, I’m much the same as you. I like to be at least 7 mmol/L but possibly 8/9 if I know I’m going to be driving for over an hour, especially if it’s on a motorway and particularly the M25, which has few service areas and you often spend lots of time in queues. I then set my Shuggah low...

I can definitely recommend creating a LibreView account. If you put LibreView into Google, you can then select it to go to the site. At the bottom of the member login box there is a link to allow you to sign up. Once you have an account, data from your sensor will automatically load up. It shows...

That is good to know, I’m pleased that at least the alarms are showing on your watch. Like you, I am very careful about driving. When my Libre alarms were working, it was the high alarm I ‘played’ with, setting it quite low as a test, 7.7. A while back this alarm was sounding on my phone while...

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly; I suspected as much. At the weekend I will be driving over 500 miles, so I think I will persevere with using Shuggah and Libre, as I described earlier, for now. It is also a little offputting that reinstalling the apps means losing the data within them...

This afternoon I’ve updated to iOS 16.6 with Shuggah disabled, and I’m afraid Libre still does not work except to scan! I have now had to reactivate Shuggah which is working perfectly. I have turned off Bluetooth for Libre and will just scan and use Libre at least once every 8 hours. This is...

I am in exactly the same position as you. I knew nothing of an alternative app until the crash. I was fully aware of Shuggah’s warnings about the need to turn off the Libre Bluetooth, but when I first started Shuggah, both it and Libre worked fully alongside each other with Bluetooth turned on...

Thanks for this, I have now tried turning my alarms off, but I’m still not getting continuous readings! I’m too tired now to try anything else, but in the morning I might try uninstalling and reinstalling the Libre app and see if that does anything. If it still fails, I will then try turning the...

I am assuming that you are not running Shuggah at all. My problem is that I really want to run Shuggah because it sends readings to my watch which is a great bonus when I am driving. I had both Libre and Shuggah performing perfectly side-by-side, both with Bluetooth turned on, until I did a...

Well, everything about mine was working fine, even with Shuggah working alongside it. However, I did another sensor change today and it has all gone horribly wrong! I started the sensor with the Libre app and with Shuggah Bluetooth turned off. The Libre app came to life, and when after 60...

You may recall from an earlier post of mine that my testing of both apps against finger pricks showed that Shuggah was generally very close to what finger pricks showed, while Libre was between 0.4 and 1.0 higher. This only changed when BG was rising or falling quickly. Then the gap between...

I’m still going well, in the main, with both Libre and Shuggah running alongside each other, both with Bluetooth enabled. I lose readings on the tennis court, even though my phone is by the net. It seems that outside you really can’t go far from your phone without suffering signal loss. Scanning...

Yes, while playing tennis yesterday, even though my phone was right by the net at the side of the court, I then got the ‘signal loss’ message and no reading on either Libre or Shuggah. I was able to scan to get a Libre reading but even that didn’t work every time. When I left the court, I felt...

I agree with all of this. Because of the app failure at the weekend I was directed to download the Shuggah app to my iPhone and I found that to be really good. It even sends readings to my Garmin watch and you can decide how often you get those notifications. Getting it to run alongside Libre...

I’m sure you are right, I did think of that but because the screen was saying ‘signal loss’ I was assuming it wasn’t receiving data. I did scan it a few times while changing ends and that must be enough to provide the data to show on the graph when eventually I scanned after I’d finished. It...

Thanks for this. What I don’t understand is that when I went to my phone on changing ends, scanning did not always work and even when it did, it did not restore the automatic one minute updates. When I finished playing and had the phone with me, I still had difficulty scanning. It was only on my...

I have been using Libre 2 for nearly 3 years and over that time have come to understand it pretty well, and it has given me far more control of my BG. Yes, it is generally between 1 & 1.5mmol above finger pricks, especially with BG above 8. It tends to be more accurate at the lower numbers...
