[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2128007, member: 374531"] Sure have, quite a few of us here are using it. It's reliable. Here's an example, pic below. The app the libre/MiaoMiao output from your arm is running to is an Android one, xDrip+, each blue dot is a 5 min reading, forming a trace over time. Between 1am and 4am, my bg has trended down from 6 to just above 4 (basal probably needed adjusted or maybe I'd just been out for a beer...), so the phone then rings at 4am, wakes me, I have about 5g of carbs, and the line nudges back up to 6 over the next few hours. That downtrend from 6 to 4 may well have ended up as a hypo, but it didn't, because my libre, transmitter and phone woke me so I could take some glucose. You can also look back at the line and use it to figure out why something happened, to figure out ways to reduce the chances of it happening again - it makes many aspects of T1 much easier to deal with when you can see where bg has been and where it's going: you start to figure out ways of gently steering it in advance away from messy highs and lows, instead of retrospectively dealing with messes after they have happened. This all helps reduce the psychological burden, fear and uncertainties of T1, just being able to see how bg is moving, so you can take small steps to guide it. xDrip+ is here if you want to have a look at it, it'll run on a cheap Android phone: [URL]https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases[/URL] [URL]https://jamorham.github.io/[/URL] There's a slight issue at the moment: it runs fine with MiaoMiao version 1, but MiaoMiao version 2 literally only came out a week or so ago, and the coding is still being updated so they will play together, but that's expected to be sorted sometime this month. Meantime, libre and MiaoMiao2 will work ok with MM2's inhouse app Tomato, but it's a bit basic compared to xDrip+. Good luck, everyone loves cgm! [ATTACH=full]35481[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
