Firstly, following the instructions in the video certainly works (Great shame Abbott did not release this sooner). It does seem that if you scan the sensor you already have on your arm with the newly installed Libre app the alarms will not work until, I assume, you put on a new sensor and activate it. As a result, I have again uninstalled the Libre app and got Shuggah back working. It needed a little persistence to get it to reconnect with the Libre 2 sensor and only after turning my phone completely off and back on did the Shuggah app send notifications to my Garmin watch. Comparing readings with my finger prick, Shuggah was very accurate, more so than the Libre app. I’m going to use Shuggah until I change my sensor on Sunday morning. At that point, I will reinstall the Libre app and switch to using that. That seems to be easy to do just by clicking on Bluetooth in the Shuggah app and disconnecting the sensor. As you cannot have the sensor connected to both apps, I’d like to know if there is an easy way to disconnect Bluetooth to the sensor in the Libre app. What then concerns me is, whether this is something you can easily switch between without losing any functionality. Anybody know about this? If you do it by deleting the Libre app, then when you reinstall it, you will lose the alarms until you again, change your sensor, which would not be for two weeks! Provided the new Libre app, once paired to a newly activated sensor, sends very regular data to my Garmin watch, then, apart from the accuracy, Shuggah is probably no longer needed. If your data is shared with medical teams, then you will have to run the Libre app as Shuggah cannot fulfil this requirement and this is something I think you are required to do in order to get Libre 2 sensors on prescription.</p></blockquote><p></p>
