    Codefree units (how do I change then)

    Hi I use a Codefree BM with Shuggah and calibrate as necessary. One issue I have is the unit is calibrated for mg/dl when I work in mmols. Anyone know how to change in settings as I can’t see it as an option and then manual isn’t at all helpful, in fact doesn’t say how to change. Many thanks.

    xDrip won’t connect to Libre 2

    I realised I was trying to connect to a libre and not a libre 2. But have changed to a libre 2 and it’s just not playing ball with the latest version. How long should I wait before it should connect? I have a screen save set for 1 minute would that impact ? Thanks in advance
