Juggluco on Android. Who needs Libre3

[Zinadane]

Not sure, but maybe abbott still have massive stock of L2 to get through.
L3 rollout Oct 2022 apparently.

Good morning @Zinadane

Are you suggesting that the Freestyle Libre 3 will become freely available in the UK to buy from Abbott online and also for GPs to prescribe the Libre 3 from October 2023?

If the answer is yes, please could you say how you know this?

I've seen nothing online or anything official from anyone in NHS England to suggest this.

Sounds about right for L2. £100/month if self funding.
Just Googling and can't see any outlets even offering L3 atm?

According to Abbot's website, the L3 is not available for private subscription in the UK at present.

I am not suggesting it will become freely available (I have no hard facts)
But I am trying to find out when we or even if we can ever start seeing it (via nhs or privately)
Seen a lot of differing statements, but I dont know what the fact of the matter is.

My DSN team are now recommending me for Dexcom 1 (in order to officially get cgm)
So not sure if NHS are pushing dexcom and not Libre.
In the absence of L3, I would stay with L2 over dexcom 1, if I get the choice.

The last 6 months I've been using Juggluco now. No problems like Librelink users. Just keeps getting better with loads of updates. Even my Diabetes Nurse mentioned it. At my 6 month review. Driving with Waze/G Maps. You can have a floating glucose reading constantly on screen. Constantly changing when you do. I believe the chap behind this great app is diabetic too.

I am thinking about doing this. I have juggluco on my phone, working and a watch coming in the post. With the wearOS version installed on the watch, and with alarms set on juggluco only (librelink alarms off) how are alarms silenced? From the watch ? Or must this be done from the phone?

There are settings for how long to play the sound file, and when to repeat it is it remains out of range. I used the standard LL unimaginative sounds, but only played them for about 5 seconds, the repeated after 20 mins IIRC. I didn't try it, but on LL you can silence it part way thru by swiping the notification off the screen, so Juggluco may well do the same.

Thanks Barrym. If an alarm goes off whilst driving I want to be able view the alarm and silence/clear it on the watch preferably, without having to faff about with the phone. Once the watch turns up I'll try the various options and see which works best

 

[Zinadane]

I use xdrip (data picked up from juggluco) with a garmin watch. If an alarm goes off I can snooze it from my watch. Works perfectly without having to faff for the phone.
LL app is a dinosaur compared to jugg. Or imo xdrip is the only one to use.

Hi, I'm not in any hurry for the L3 either.

I use Diabox. For the at a glance widget. Easy set up on my Android phone with the updated libre app in tandem. Also use libre linkup on my ipad for updated CGM readings too.

 

[Zinadane]

I am on L3. Great device!
Small, slim, reliable & accurate in my opinion.
But I don't use the software, it will never be as good as the 3rd party offerings.

I've no beef with the L2, myself.
But I do agree the LL app could be better..

Hats off to the 3rd party developers..

Sorry only just seen this. I have watch 5. I have it on vibration only. If you are using the phone as a sat nav u can have a floating glucose reading onscreen. Also talk speaks out your value if connected to car audio.

Thanks for the responses. I now have my Galaxy6 watch and it is all working as I had hoped. My wish was to be able to silence the watch alarm easily on the watch without messing about with the phone, mainly in case the alarm goes off while driving. I have Juggluco on my phone and the Juggluco wear version on the watch. Juggluco already does this well. I have set up the 2 watch faces as attached, the digital watch face is the Juggluco watch face while the analogue watch has a floating glucose value (appears on every screen, and is moveable) . In either case touching the glucose value on the screen silences the alarm. Excellent, and updates every minute too!

What app do you use to have the floating value? I used to use Easy Fire Tools. But it wouldn't connect to the watch the other day. So now use Bugjaeger.

Many thanks.

In the menu's read the help pieces for set up. There are many and make it so easy
