Also, it works directly with the G5 transmitter, no G5 receiver required. I didn't even bother buying a receiver because 1)it's an extra piece of hardware to carry around and 2) It's internal software limits the use of each G5 transmitter to 112(?) days, forcing you to buy a new one.

If you have a SW3 to hand, then maybe you should try it again with the G5 ! As I said, that combination works great for me. Initially, I did have some problems with battery life of the watch, where it would suddenly shut down at 35% after about 12 hours. The battery calibration seems to have...

I've been using xDrip+ and G5 for 6 months now. It's great. Like part of me now. As @tim2000s said, it supports Android Wear watches natively. I chose the Sony Smartwatch 3, because that's the device that the developer of the Wear integration part uses. I just works. I have the watch...

I've been doing this too, I finished my second round of fasting on Sunday. I'm not sure that my first round really counts as I had to exceed the limits of the FMD to add sugars to correct my BG. So the first round was more of a trial run really. I also did a 48 hours stint in March to see how...

Yes, it might not be possible to do a similar operation on the G6 version, which I understand will probably be released next year. We will have to wait until then (+ >3 months) to see what hacking possibilities this new device could offer, or prevent. I think I should be aiming to start with the...

Thank for the suggestions @GrantGam1337 . I am lucky enough to have access quite a bit of equipment to do this in a "clean" way, including a 3D scanning rig, 3D printer and a milling machine, hence my ideas of how best to proceed. I'd like to avoid using any adhesive at all, using small screws...

Thanks for the advice @GrantGam1337 . However, I actually don't want to do the same thing that is on the YouTube videos and end up with a one-off, workable solution. What happens when you need to change the batteries again? I'd like to explore 2 approaches: 1) getting the PCB out of the...

Hi Dan, Thank you for your kind message. Yes, I know I can correct it and I'm actually being quite rigorous with my regime at the moment. The thing is to keep it up in the long term.

Thanks

Thank you @catherinecherub . There's a lot of interesting views there. I will take the time to read through thread properly.

Thanks ;)

Hi Daibell. No, I have not tried the low carb diet...initially I was told that I should eat more or less normally but cut out the sugars and rapid carbs and dose the insulin accordingly and exercise. It worked quite well me for quite a while. If I do manage to get the CGM, it would make it so...

@therower Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I know there's nothing really causing the upward trend, except the complacency which has set in after a while...working on it!

Chas, I fully understand the issues you mention. I had already noticed that someone is trying to sells gunk covered transmitters on Amazon. Indeed, before posting this I have been scouring commercial sites like ebay, where I would be perfectly happy to buy them. Unfortunately, while there are...

Hi. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hi, I've been looking into CGM because my Hb1Ac is up to silly levels, and I really need to get things back under control. I'm particularly impressed by what I've read about the Dexcom CGM system. IT could change everything if it works as advertised. Unfortunately, I just learnt from my doctor...

Hi. I'm new to this forum, although I've been a type 1 diabetic for 16 years, injections. At the start and for much of that time, my HB1ACs were good but over the last few years, they have been creeping up. I think it's just because I'm just so tired of dealing with it, and I've got a lot going...
