I currently use the Freestyle Libre sensor and reader. However because I only have an iPhone 6 I decided to buy a Miaomiao to act as my Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). I use the Spike App to get readings and alarms from my phone and its fantastic. I have only one issue and that is that I have to re-load the Spike software onto my phone every 7 days. Does anyone out know how to get the Spike App working for longer as I will be travelling for 3 weeks at the end of the year and won't be able to carry my laptop around with me.

The only reliable way to get around it is to buy an Apple app developer account and then re sign it once a year.

Thank you for your response. I have even tried to do that but can’t get far enough to get to a developer account! Not even got as far as finding out how much it costs.
