This vid on youtube explains about the Bluecon and how it works, but @Scott-C is the expert on it!


@Fairygodmother you can use it with iPhones too, you need the Spike app, which you need to apply to get it via their website - https://spike-app.com/ I got it in readiness for when I get enough money together to buy a transmitter. I’m hoping I can then ping the data to my crusty old Pebble smartwatch.

I was going to get the Bluecon Nightrider, but a few things put me off, and I think I’ll be getting the MiaoMiao instead, although I may have changed my mind again tomorrow! The MM is waterproof, rechargeable and has a lower profile, as well as being said to be more reliable. The BN is a bit cheaper, has been around for longer, but requires new batteries regularly, isn’t waterproof and more than doubles the height of the sensor, which for me would make it more liable to getting knocked off. I’m also concerned about pulling my sensor out when dismounting the BN for a bath or shower. But the MiaoMiao sits to the side of the sensor, with just a small overlap, so the whole assembly LOOKS bigger. The same chap who did the first video I linked to has also done a pretty comprehensive comparison (spoiler alert, he preferred MM):

Hi @T1monty, how are you? I imagine you’ve been at work as we’ve not heard from you. Hope the tiredness hasn’t been laying you too low at the end of the day.

People used to say that feeling sick was a sign that the baby was bedding in well

I was lucky, I didn’t get the sickness. My daughter did. For her, a couple of bites of dry toast seemed to help. She’s not T1, but ‘morning sickness’ knows no boundaries.
Reduced insulin needs in the first three months are also a usual occurrence and then it starts rising . . .
Hope you’re getting a sensor soon, and a bagful of jelly babies. And French toast if it’s tummy-settling.

Hi @T1monty, many congratulations, it's such an exciting time There can be up's and down's with pregnancy, trying to do everything right for the baby and also yourself. Level's can fluctuate, but try not to get too anxious ( difficult at times) and just take each day with small steps. You have had some helpful and supported posts from member's, which is half the battle. I had my baby at 42 yrs and she is now 17 !
Take good care and wishing you all the very best, X
ps I have just become a nana again, with a new granddaughter and my daughter had gestational diabetes.
