[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1860328, member: 488171"] Wot he said. Ambrosia blucon and Xdrip+. It does high and low alarms (though I've only got the low one turned on to noisy), and a lot more. I'm wearing it taped to my arm on top of the sensor while I sleep - it's a bit more intrusive than the sensor alone, but I'm willing to swap that for the alarms. 100 quid or so for the device, Xdrip+ is free for Android, though you have to install it manually. There's something else if you're an apple person. This stuff isn't approved by any medical people or manufacturers, so you get warnings that you mustn't use it for any diagnostic or other medical purpose. The software is open source, developed by people who wanted better than the manufacturers could offer. So far it seems pretty good. Having got the blucon, I'd actually be tempted to get a miaomiao instead - more expensive, but waterproof, rechargable and lower profile. Does the same thing. Another interesting thing it does is offers cover for the hour between sensors - it doesn't seem to stop reading at the 14 day mark. [/QUOTE]
