[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1615953, member: 374531"] I'm really glad you're making that move, Tony. As you know from previous posts, we're both kinda old school, but I've got to say playing about with cgm over the last year has made life much easier for me, and I hope it works out that way for you too - a phone telling you, keep an eye on this dropping sugar, laddie - it ain't always right, but don't knock it. I'll stitch together a few thoughts on the matter tomorrow when I'm not drunk in a pub but, for now, your first question about smartphones: don't worry about that, you won't need one. Dexcom has an official app, but it seems (remember I'm not a dexcommer, so I might be wrong), that a lot of them think it's rubbish, so they prefer to use an app called xDrip+, it costs nothing and you can run it on a cheap android phone. Mine is running on a £99 pay as you go LG K8. So no expensive smartphones involved, 99 quid one off cost and you're in there on the "seeing the stuff". Ongoing cost of dexcom sensors is another story which will have to await me not being in a pub! The stuff you'll see looks like this - use it correctly, with a bit of old school intuition thrown in, you can see and change the future: [ATTACH=full]24472[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
