[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1534736, member: 295621"] The graphs and charts are from Nightscout. I'm using the Dexcom G5 CGM through xDrip+ on my phone. The range was (and is) set at 4mmol/l - 8.5mmol/l. I chose 8.5mmol/l as the upper value because that as an avg BG equates to a HbA1c of 53mmol/mol. That value is the cut off for "good control" in accordance with my Clinic and NHS Scotland. Yes a predictive low system is very useful. The Libre in it's basic form is unable to utilise such a feature, as it doesn't transmit data. As you know, it only stores data and you have to retrieve it - hence 'flash glucose monitor". There are a few DIY projects that can make the Libre work like a CGM though; I looked into a few but opted for the G5 as it's a better system and more financially viable. [/QUOTE]
