[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1993788, member: 374531"] U I can't recall anyone on here mentioning using Tomato with mm. We tend to go for xDrip+ on android or Spike on iPhone (Spike was developed from xDrip+), basically because xDrip+ has a long pedigree and is generally highly regarded by users, the predictive simulator is excellent (input carbs and bolus and it extends the cgm trace to give a rough "weather forecast" of where that will take you, takes a bit if getting used to, but it gives a lot of clues we wouldn't otherwise have). I suspect it's a bit like the earlier blucon transmitter from Ambrosia Systems. I bought one on pre-order back in June 2017, the native app for it was extremely basic, and then moved to xDrip+ in September after they coded it to take data from blucon, and kept with it after getting mm, so never really saw any reason to try Tomato. Blucon and mm are both fairly solid pieces of hardware, but the software not so much, whereas xDrip+ has been around the block a few times. Yes, it's open source software, has sign up warnings saying it's a research project not to be used for medical decisions, not approved by any regulator, most DSNs and endos have never heard of it (one asked me if it was "legal"!), but it sure as heck works. I'm happy to make bolus calls from it. It's kinda underground and undocumented, but what I gather is that the lead developer's daughter is T1, so if it's good enough for the parent of a T1 child, it's good enough for me.
