[QUOTE="BarbaraG, post: 1391471, member: 47277"] I've only just started using the Libre (six days and loving it). After debating about relying on the app, I'm glad I did get the reader because a) it's really hard to find the right place to scan on my phone (Samsubg S4 mini) and b) the app usually stops when I scan - on average it takes me 3 attempts to get a reading. So frustrating I have given up and just use the reader. Like, all the time!! I am T2 on metformin only. After a few days' usage it became clear that the primary target for intervention is my dawn phenomenon. I'm eating keto, and I get very little rise after my meals, my highest numbers of the day are mid to late morning when DP peaks, and then falls away slightly. I'm logging different combinations of evening snack and morning drink in a spreadsheet and over time hoping I will see patterns that are revealing. Have also noticed that I seem to be going hypo during the night. The first few I thought it was to do with lying on the sensor... but I have studiously avoided lying on that side the past few nights (it's not my favourite side anyway) - but last night went down to 3.1 anyway. Anyhow - I'm tempted to try the Glimp app, but also don't want to waste a sensor. Does anyone know - if I scan with Glimp towards the end of my sensor's life, would it work with the sensor, or do you have to start the sensor with it? Or scan within first hour after starting with the reader, as you do with the official app if you want to use both. That said - I mostly like the graphs on the reader software - especially once I had enough data to populate the AGP and give me an eHbA1C [/QUOTE]
