[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2390519, member: 503751"] I was about to comment the same! I much prefer the alarm option in the Diabox app. The app isn't on official app stores because Abbott threatened legal action, bit I found it really easy to install and have found it really easy to use. I have now disabled the Libre Link app's permission to access my location so that the app can't try to make a bluetooth connection with my libre 2 sensors. I then use the Libre Link app to activate a new sensor, scan after the 1hr warm up time, and scan at least once every 8 hrs so the data gets synced to Libre View and my diabetes clinic can access it so I can still get the sensors on prescription. Don't make my mistake and try to sync Diabox with Libre View because Abbott will threaten to block your account. I like the fact you can add notes in Libre Link. Once activated I then scan using Diabox which so far has automatically connected to my libre 2 sensors via bluetooth. I think it turns the sensor into a basic CGM, as it syncs every minute for me, and tells me my glucose levels discretely along the top bar of my phone, and I've chosen to have a widget, and also have it discretely show on my lockscreen (just says eg. 5.4 Diabox so I don't think others would know what that means). You have more choice of alarm, and more features like choosing the alarm tone, duration, and a snooze function. Really happy with the app so far! [/QUOTE]
