I realised I was trying to connect to a libre and not a libre 2. But have changed to a libre 2 and it’s just not playing ball with the latest version.

How long should I wait before it should connect?
I have a screen save set for 1 minute would that impact ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Is this your first time using xDrip with the libre 2? From memory you used a Miaomiao with Libre 1?

From memory you need an extra “oop2 apk” app to get your L2 to talk to xDrip through the Libre app?
I had trouble getting mine to work & found xDrip too over blown setting up?

I get the same “CGM experience from the Libre 2 using an app called Diabox. Less messing about to set up..

OK
What’s (and where) do ai get oop2 and is it a pain to install.

I did have MiaoMiao but lost the lead and had no problem with it.

I’ll try Diabox provided you don’t need a programming degree to install it ‍♂️

I loved xDrip when I was using L1 &.Miaomiao 2. Diabox. Pretty easy set up.

And low and behold it suddenly connected !!!


Let me know how you get on with stability? I may revisit xDrip…. Again, again…
