Diabetes!!
2 hours after my Breakfast and my blood sugar starts dropping! (Went for a walk after breakfast) CGM was saying 5.0 and so I did a finger prick. BG meter says 3.5. Took 2 Lift Glucose tabs and now I’m back up to 6.3 CGM!!

Oh and why does my app keep freezing?? It’s annoying the **** out of me!!
 
Are you getting symptoms when your bg is low?
None at all. It worries me and I start panicking when it starts dropping. Especially when it’s only a couple of hours after eating!
 
Oh and why does my app keep freezing??
Do you have any other processor RAM intensive apps running in the background?

That’s a great graph you have there. But in my experience after the testing, finding a low & treating it.
I would have retested 20 minutes later?
 
Do you have any other processor RAM intensive apps running in the background?
No. It’s annoying me now. I’m currently out at the moment and had to bring my reader with me.
 
Do you have a Dexcom reader & an app on your phone?
Yes. I had no issues with the app up until Sunday. It started working. Now all of a sudden it seems to be playing up again!
 
No new updates!
Are you getting any readings from the sensor to either the app on your phone or the reader?

If not, try pushing the transmitter into the sensor cradle bit? I had a G6 come lose & break contact. There was a slight click & it was working…
 
I’m starting to think you got a “custody battle” for the transmitter.

& your phone is loosing… ?
Turned my phone off and on again and that seems to have solved the problem…for now! Why didn’t I think to do that sooner!
 
Yeah it can be turned off
If your diabetes team view your BGs through “Clarity?”

It should also upload faster more convenient by phone (data or WiFi.) Than wiring up the receiver to a PC..
I’d hazard a guess making the connection more stable with your Dexy. To turn the receiver off also saving time on a handover of the device for a DSN to plug it in?

My lot love snatching my meter & wiring it up. They seem to forget they have access to Libreview…
Even my endo only views the stats off my phone.
