[QUOTE="Muneeb, post: 2105241, member: 491635"] Well I use Glimp and that is for android not iPhone, the principle in how it works will be similar, but I can't tell you the exact features of Spike for iPhone. Glimp app basically works the same as the libre app, however you can input actual meter readings into the app and it calibrates the libre readings against the meter, so you get much better accuracy. Say it was reading 6, but it was actually 5, you would put that into the app and it would calibrate it against it. The app has so much more you can do with it compared to the libre app, but to get the most out of it, I believe you need a miaomiao as it makes it into a CGM, then you can get live data to phones, smartwatches with alarms etc. Its not necessary though and you can just scan as normal within the app as well. But I get much better readings and even rely on it for insulin adjustments, with the odd check everynow and then to make sure its still in line with meter. [/QUOTE]
