Hi all, We have just received our Miaomiao and we are really excited. The problem is it refuses to connect to bluetooth. I have a Samsung Galaxy and it appears on the list of bluetooth devices, but when you try to pair, it just says "pairing not accepted by miaomiao". Has anyone got any useful...

In another thread the timing and utility of single point gluco-meter readings was discussed. So I wondered what your actual measured peak times (or range of times) for BSLs is after meals (post-prandial) with use of CGMs? (Libre, or other??

Hi there... I could really use some info/support from anyone with knowledge in regards to setting up the freestyle Libre to work in conjunction with a smart watch. More specifically - what would I need to buy to get this going, is it even possible and what are the ins/outs about it etc...

Dexcom announced it is laying off a bunch of people and moving services to the Philippines. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/technology/sd-fi-dexcom-layoffs-san-diego-20190222-story.html I gather they announced record earnings and that they were laying off people in San Diego and...

Hi Guys, I seem to be hogging the forum tonight, but I have another burning question. (YES, even more exciting than the mystery of the dimple!) I have read a lot about people using xdrip+ with their MiaoMiao and android phone, but has anyone compared it to the MM Tomato app? I have heard that...

Has anyone ever noticed a small dimple or depression on the top of their Libre sensor? I am NOT talking about the little hole right in the very middle. I am talking about the very small depression, about 1.5mm in diameter, about 5mm from the outer edge of the sensor. Somebody said, on another...

Has anyone else been long term cycle touring? I'm after hints and tips for carting pump and all the necessary cannula changes; CGM and all the necessary sensor changes; emergency long term insulin if my pump should fail (where to stash the stuff as I know what I need) all my normal insulin...

In keeping with the day: Remember you don't HAVE TO love wearing your CGM and pump (but at least be aware of what life was like without it). However one chooses to celebrate, forget, sweeten or soften the day may EVERY day be sweet and loving without need of extra carbs or artificial...

Hi guys, I am in the process of upgrading my insulin pump on the NHS and of the list of pump potions I have narrowed my choices between the omnipod and the Medtronic 640G. I wondered if anyone had been on either of these and had some reviews for me, I am unsure which would be better. Also...

Hi This might seem like a bit of a stupid question, but something that I am confused about since getting a CGM. I have been told to test my blood sugar 2 hours after eating and that it should at that point be below 7mmol (I have only known being type 1 and pregnant together and so maybe I have...

I'm on day 10 of using the Dexcom G6 and this morning swapped my first sensor for a new one. Did everything the same as previously but this one is horribly inaccurate. It started by giving me false low readings (luckily I checked so I didn't correct) of 2.5 compared to 4.6 from a finger prick...

Hi guys, Has anyone on the freestyle libre noticed an increase in size on their arms? I've been using it for around 8 months now and have noticed the tops of my arms grow in size, like jackets that used to fit me are now really tight across the shoulders. But I haven't gained weight necessarily...

I've been on a pump for 10 years. Currently using a Medtronic 640, and have decided to self fund CGM to tighten up my control. I've read some old threads that say the Medtronic CGM isn't that reliable. Wondering whether to go with standalone freestyle libre. Any experience, advice out there I'd...

Hi, my diabetes team are putting an IFA application for me to my CCG for dexcom due to hypo issues which meet Nice guidance. I am currently self-funding Libre but as we all know it’s not a CGM and doesn’t have alarm functionality without extra tech equipment from non-Abbott companies. I have...

Hello everyone ! I own Paradigm 722 Medtronic pump with CGM Can I delay calibrating my Enlite Sensor with Meter BG, without being woken up by alarms ? After inserting new sensor i kind of miscalculated my insulin dose, and it's pretty late at night.

Hi, Has anyone used the Guardian Connect system? I've just started using it but the alerts are so quiet that I find the system useless to warn about night time hypos. i

Hello! I'm Type 1, have been for the past 13 or so years now, though I still struggle with control. I've been looking into Continuous Glucose Monitoring recently and was wondering if any other Type 1s have tried it and what the verdict is? I really think I could benefit from it as testing has...

The new Dexcom G6 has been approved by the FDA https://www.dexcom.com/g6-cgm-system No calibration. 10 day life. Better applicator.

Hi all, My Dr has proposed I try out using a CGM. 3 options put forward are 1. Freestyle Libre 2. Dexcom G5 mobile 3. Medtronic Guardian Connect I have a very active lifestyle, with a lot of cycling as well as running and swimming, >10 hours a week and very vigorous - I sweat buckets...
