[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1969092, member: 101136"] I've had no issues with the basic set up, so far.. Followed the paper instructions fitting to the underside of the upper arm. I work in engineering & am in a band.. It has survived the weekend & wot not so far.. I'll tag in [USER=468055]@Mel dCP[/USER] she's had good experience in the mosh pit & came out still attached to hers.. It's more an "experiment" for me..Find out what the fuss is about? But I love it. Though, I'm more confortable testing & injecting with my collegues. I still use my Accu-chek when calculating bolus. I'm finding it pretty Acurate, deviating below, but within 0.2 to 0.6 of my meter which on average is 15% higher than the NHS calibrated standard? A little heads up regarding the law & driving. [URL]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/diabetes-mellitus-assessing-fitness-to-drive[/URL] [SIZE=4][B]"Continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS)[/B][/SIZE] People who use continuous and intermittent glucose monitoring systems must also monitor blood glucose using finger prick testing at times relevant to driving, as directed above." We've both probably been driving long enough, so I won't harp on..... ;) I gave up on the Abbott website.. Felt it would be quicker to go out & score depleted uranium? I asked at my local ASDA pharmacy, they had them in stock out back, filled out a VAT exempt form. & downloaded the Glimp app on my Galaxy A3. (Which just happened to be on the compatable list with NFC.) I have the Abbott app too. But find the visual layout nicer on the Glimp. (Reminds me of music recording software.) Hope this helps? Loads of threads on the subject. :) [/QUOTE]
