I am after some views on tech and apps for general management of Type 1 with a high cholesterol thrown in for good measure

I use a Freestyle Libre and will sync this with the app (when it connects up) and am keen to use apps as much as possible in as seamless a process as can be

What do you use and what do you find works best
All guidance appreciated and if you the the time to respond I will take the time to read and review

Thanks

I use a libre but use the reader not a phone. If you're interested in tech and apps there is a Facebook group called libre geeks that may be right up your street! Good luck with it

I'm using a 'recycled' Dexcom G5:

It talks directly to my Sony Smartwatch 3 (the one on the right):

That forwards the data to my phone and the xDrip+ app:

Which is calibrated by a Bluetooth compatible meter (OK - not working at the moment):

The phone then forwards the data to a cloud-based database that feeds into a NightScout site which keeps track of last insulin/Dexcom sensor/cannula change etc:

I use much the same as @CapnGrumpy with the addition of one of these:

This is an Artificial Pancreas system that uses the other components shown to manage my glucose levels without my intervention. More information is available here: http://www.diabettech.com/looping-a-guide

Fixed the Bluetooth meter issue - found weird stuff in the xml settings file and deleted the 'nul' bit:
