The below link to the Abbott's FreeStyleR Libre 2 iOS App Cleared press
release should work:

I would recommend that folks posting website links set their email clients
to post in html rather than plain text because when a link takes more than
one line as the above one did, only the part of the link appearing on line 1
will be linked and the remainder of the link appearing on the other lines
won't be included.

The problem is that apparently NFB has the Diabetes-talk list set to post in
plain text. I posted my message in html and tested the link before sending
and it worked just fine but when I received the post, only line 1 of the
link was active and the rest of it on the later lines was not. You might try
copying the link below and pasting it into the address box of your web
browser. I'll paste it below again:

I'll try and paste the text of the website article following my signature.

Providing breakthrough technology that is accessible and affordable4, the
FreeStyle Libre portfolio is the number one continuous glucose monitoring
(CGM) system worldwide5 and most prescribed in the U.S.6, changing the lives
of nearly 3.5 million people across more than 50 countries including 1
million users in the U.S. 

Approved for adults and children (4 and older) with diabetes, the new
FreeStyle Libre 2 app creates a seamless experience for users and healthcare
professionals. The app enables users to get glucose readings directly on
their iPhones without the use of a reader. A key benefit of the app is the
ability for caregivers to remotely monitor their loved one's glucose
readings and get real-time alarms via the LibreLinkUp app

"The demands of living with diabetes
<https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3245662-1&h=2515773020&u=https%3A%2F%2F
www.abbott.com%2Fdiabetes.html&a=The+demands+of+living+with+diabetes>  can
be overwhelming, and there's a critical need to improve the way people with
diabetes manage their condition - easily, affordably, accurately - and in a
way that seamlessly fits into their everyday lives," said Jared Watkin,
senior vice president, Diabetes Care, Abbott. "The FreeStyle Libre 2 iOS app
streamlines how people manage their diabetes on their iPhones - empowering
users with the information they need 24/7 while improving their health on
the go." 

According to a recent Gallup poll, 1 in 5 Americans currently tracks health
statistics using a mobile app.8 Free to download on the iOS App Store soon,
the FreeStyle Libre 2 app will offer personalized, up-to-the-minute glucose
data for people with diabetes who are using FreeStyle Libre 2 glucose
sensors. By scanning the sensor with the  FreeStyle Libre 2 app, users will
get their current glucose reading and trend arrow which can help them
determine how food, exercise and other lifestyle factors impact diabetes
management. 

With a 14-day wear time, FreeStyle Libre 2 is the longest-lasting iCGM
sensor currently on the market.9 Available at pharmacies at a fraction of
the cost of other CGM systems,10 the FreeStyle Libre 2 system is widely
accessible to people with diabetes. Integrated features include:

*	Optional real-time glucose alarms2 that automatically alert users
when glucose is high or low 
*	Unsurpassed 14-day accuracy11 with readings every minute and an
eight-hour glucose history, including comprehensive view of trends 
*	Seamless integration with Abbott's connected digital health tools -
the LibreLinkUp app and LibreView12, a secure cloud-based data management
platform - allowing users to easily share their glucose readings with
healthcare professionals and caregivers. Accessible remotely, use of
LibreView increased about 70% over the past year.13 

"The pandemic taught us the importance of connected devices in managing
chronic conditions remotely, and we continue to see the benefit from the
latest advances in digital health," said Kurt Midyett, M.D., pediatric
endocrinologist and medical director at Midwest Pediatric Specialists.
"Continuous glucose monitoring is one of the most significant health tech
innovations in the last decade, and I see the life-changing benefits
first-hand from my patients every day. As a doctor, it's invaluable to
receive my patients' glucose data remotely via systems like LibreView -
enabling more meaningful conversations with my patients, and ultimately,
improving treatment decisions and their long-term health."

Abbott has secured partial or full reimbursement for the FreeStyle Libre
system in 38 countries, including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United
Kingdom, and the U.S. 

The FreeStyle Libre 2 iOS app will be available soon in the U.S. to download
on the App Store.

What;'s  happening is the link is wrapping across two lines, and that is why
when you click on it, its saying that the page cant be found. If you copy
the entire link which is two  lines in length and then paste into the apple
browser safari, then it does work.

I would recommend that folks posting website links set their email clients

one line as the above one did, only the part of the link appearing on line 1
will be linked and the remainder of the link appearing on the other lines

Still can't get the actual article to read. Saw lots of comments, most negative, by the way, showing problems I have had with freestyle one, so it remains to be seen. I am not jumping on this bandwagon until I have to. I am mostly having success with my one, even with the issues.

Hey folks,

>From tiny url, here is a shortened version of the long url.

https://tinyurl.com/2m2268cx

If you encounter a long url, this is a handy site to convert a long url so
that people won't have trouble getting to a site.

The website for Tiny URL is:

What;'s  happening is the link is wrapping across two lines, and that is why
when you click on it, its saying that the page cant be found. If you copy
the entire link which is two  lines in length and then paste into the apple
browser safari, then it does work.

The below link to the Abbott's FreeStyleR Libre 2 iOS App Cleared press
release should work:

 

https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2021-08-02-Abbotts-FreeStyle-R-Libre-2-iOS-App-
Cleared-in-U-S-,-Providing-a-Seamless-Digital-Experience-to-Simplify-Diabete
s-Management

 

I would recommend that folks posting website links set their email clients
to post in html rather than plain text because when a link takes more than
one line as the above one did, only the part of the link appearing on line 1
will be linked and the remainder of the link appearing on the other lines
won't be included.

I am on board with you.i  am doing the  same thing till abbot says that   they cant get freestyle libre 1 and have to  go to libre 2 or by the time things ar forced on us by the pharmacies there will be libre 3 as libre 3 has been approved in the European markets where  abbot does most of its business in.   but there sales over  the past few years for the libre has sky rocketed so I could se the libre 3 even show up a bit sooner to the us shores as well to get a head start on the dexcom g7 whenever that  releases .

Still can't get the actual article to read. Saw lots of comments, most negative, by the way, showing problems I have had with freestyle one, so it remains to be seen. I am not jumping on this bandwagon until I have to. I am mostly having success with my one, even with the issues.

The reason why this is happening is the link is a very long link and its wrapping across two lines.if you copy  the  entire link which is two lines in length an then paste  into the web browser then it does work.

Hello group, We had a great meeting at our house today, and thank all of you

I do apologize for sending this email to this group google has the controls
for setting up group lists that it is almost inaccessible, and I
unintentionally subscribed this group and I can't unsubscribe it. But I'll
try again.

Thank you so much. And of course, please keep posting here. I enjoy reading

Hi there,
I thought I read at one time if you are taking a plane you need to have 
them not scann the device you are wearing, or it would ruin it.
Am I correct?
I asked this morning, when I called to get supplies, but she didn't 
know anything about it.
Thanks,

Hello Dar,

I've never had any trouble with security scans and my Freestyle Libre but I do let them know it is there ahead of time because it will set off the metal detectors just like the implanted cardiac monitor I have in my chest.

Take care,  
Tony

Hi Dar,

     That is correct with the Dexcom.  You cannot take the Dexcom through
any metal detector or it will get ruined.  I run into that every time I go
to the ER, and we have to remind them every time.  Hope this helps.
Warmly,
aDoula

Hello group, I mentioned about my Dexcom cgm giving me a strange message. It
says after the reading, pea pea on the law, and it still saying that
occasionally. Does anyone have any ideas or had anyone heard this before or
am I the only one that get this message? By the way I am using my iPhone Xr
for the receiver.

Hi Les,

I have the same problem with an iPhone 11 running the latest iOS and the
latest version of the Dexcom G6 app. I have never been able to find an
answer on how to get rid of that pop up picture on some of my apps.

I was wondering if it was a picture, I knew it popped up and then was gone.
I've never had it happen on any other apps before though. Thank you Milton.

Les, that's  what i am thinking with the fact that with newe versions  of I
OS they have introduced all these image sort of accessibility hooks which in
a way can be annoying at times and helpful at other times  with third party
apps.  Depending on which apps have taken advantage of those accessibility
API's and hooks.

Hello All,

To me it sounds like the image description function of Voiceover is on and is trying to describe the graphic that resides near the blood glucose reading in the center of the screen. In reality this is just the visual aspect of the trend arrow.

How to stop the weird readouts?

1. Open settings
2. Navigate down to accessibility and then to Voiceover.
3. Scroll down to rotor and open this option.
4. Find the Image description option and double tap to add it to the rotor.
5. Exit out of settings and finally navigate to the Dexcom G6 app and open it.
6. Once the app has loaded place your thumbs and pointer finger on the screen and twist them. This action is much like turning a volume knob on a stereo. Do this until you hear the Image description option.
7. Once you have heard the Image Description read out loud, now flick down with one finger and Voiceover should now announce that Image Description has been turned off.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Ed, I didn't think about that the only thing is that it doesn't do it even close to all the time just every now and then. And it's like a popup it pops up and then quickly goes away in less than 3 seconds.

Hello All,

To me it sounds like the image description function of Voiceover is on and is trying to describe the graphic that resides near the blood glucose reading in the center of the screen. In reality this is just the visual aspect of the trend arrow.

How to stop the weird readouts?

1. Open settings
2. Navigate down to accessibility and then to Voiceover.
3. Scroll down to rotor and open this option.
4. Find the Image description option and double tap to add it to the rotor.
5. Exit out of settings and finally navigate to the Dexcom G6 app and open it.
6. Once the app has loaded place your thumbs and pointer finger on the screen and twist them. This action is much like turning a volume knob on a stereo. Do this until you hear the Image description option.
7. Once you have heard the Image Description read out loud, now flick down with one finger and Voiceover should now announce that Image Description has been turned off.

I hope this helps.

What do you have at the moment. I now need  to find an I phone for the fact that libre 2will be available for I os at first an then who knows when it will be available for Android. Since I had the apps for android I sold my last I phone. So now need to  look for a refurb or something a bit old that I can afford. There   is no way I can afford any of the newer I phone 12 sereies. So I think I will either look around for a use I phone  10 or 11 or try to see if amazon will have deals on the I phone SE   second edition 2020.

Hello All,

To me it sounds like the image description function of Voiceover is on and is trying to describe the graphic that resides near the blood glucose reading in the center of the screen. In reality this is just the visual aspect of the trend arrow.

How to stop the weird readouts?

1. Open settings
2. Navigate down to accessibility and then to Voiceover.
3. Scroll down to rotor and open this option.
4. Find the Image description option and double tap to add it to the rotor.
5. Exit out of settings and finally navigate to the Dexcom G6 app and open it.
6. Once the app has loaded place your thumbs and pointer finger on the screen and twist them. This action is much like turning a volume knob on a stereo. Do this until you hear the Image description option.
7. Once you have heard the Image Description read out loud, now flick down with one finger and Voiceover should now announce that Image Description has been turned off.

I hope this helps.

I belong to a group that meets once a month with a former Apple employee who is now an accessibility trainer who keeps us up-to-date with everything iOS. He said that Apple actually sells refurbished phones for a fraction of the cost of new phones and these are extremely reliable. What they do is take the trade in phones that they get and phones that may have been returned due to some problem and completely dismantle them. Then they Test every single component and discard any non-functioning parts. They then build a brand new phone from all of the working components and sell them. This would be a more reliable source than just buying a used phone. We were told that brand new phones are not individually tested when they come off the production line but that they only pull one out of every so many off the line to test. Every single refurbished phone however gets tested.
I may go this route next time I need a new phone. My current one is an 8 and seems to be functioning pretty well but is now considered an older model.  it doesn?t have some of the new accessibility features such as text recognition, screen recognition, and image recognition that could be very valuable.

Ok.  That makes sense.   Are they as pricy as the new ones.   Can you give me an example when you talk to him  or her next time.

Apparently the Apple certified refurbisheApple certified refurbished phones run about 15% off original price. See attached a link to information about the program and a link to phones currently available.

I belong to a group that meets once a month with a former Apple employee who is now an accessibility trainer who keeps us up-to-date with everything iOS. He said that Apple actually sells refurbished phones for a fraction of the cost of new phones and these are extremely reliable. What they do is take the trade in phones that they get and phones that may have been returned due to some problem and completely dismantle them. Then they Test every single component and discard any non-functioning parts. They then build a brand new phone from all of the working components and sell them. This would be a more reliable source than just buying a used phone. We were told that brand new phones are not individually tested when they come off the production line but that they only pull one out of every so many off the line to test. Every single refurbished phone however gets tested.
I may go this route next time I need a new phone. My current one is an 8 and seems to be functioning pretty well but is now considered an older model.  it doesn?t have some of the new accessibility features such as text recognition, screen recognition, and image recognition that could be very valuable.

Hello All,

 

To me it sounds like the image description function of Voiceover is on and is trying to describe the graphic that resides near the blood glucose reading in the center of the screen. In reality this is just the visual aspect of the trend arrow.

 

How to stop the weird readouts?

 

1. Open settings

2. Navigate down to accessibility and then to Voiceover.

3. Scroll down to rotor and open this option.

4. Find the Image description option and double tap to add it to the rotor.

5. Exit out of settings and finally navigate to the Dexcom G6 app and open it.

6. Once the app has loaded place your thumbs and pointer finger on the screen and twist them. This action is much like turning a volume knob on a stereo. Do this until you hear the Image description option.

7. Once you have heard the Image Description read out loud, now flick down with one finger and Voiceover should now announce that Image Description has been turned off.

 

I hope this helps.

Hello everyone,


What do you all think of the food delivery service, Schwan's?

Is it even an option for those of us with diabetes?


I was wondering, and thought I would ask you all, to see what you all 
might think.


Thank you,


Terri

Well the best way to say it is this,
There is plenty of salt in what ever you buy from the store or schwans.
We husband and I love the sausage patties, I cook them in the frier.
Grease droppes down, there are sausage patties cooked but I don't get those.
We also get links.
We also love the breakfast blend,
It comes with potatoes sausage, and onions peppers.
I put an egg on the bottom of the bowl, add breakfast blend, then cook 
it for three and a half minutes, adding it to a tortilla.
I don't eat schwans all of the time, once a week if that.
So if I am bad,
I am glad to be so.

Check with your nutritionist. I do know that their foods are portion
controlled, but not about how expensive as compared to most grocery stores.

Hi, Terri.


Schwan's does have some diabetic friendly options like frozen vegetables 
in steamer bags, as well as meat, various potatoes, etc.? You can also 
find some recipes and nutritional labels on their web site.


They can be quite pricey, but some of their selections like their 
individual steamer bags and some of their frozen fruit are really good 
and they have things I might not find at my local store.


You can pay with cash, a Schwan's gift card, credit/debit cards and EBT, 
and they offer several different delivery times, at least they do in my 
area.


Hope this helps.

One of my favorite things from them that is actually pretty low carb is the sausage egg and cheese breakfast bowl. It has potatoes, but not a lot of them.

Good morning everyone,

	Schwans has lots of great food items to meet the needs of many people including diabetics. We used them for a while several years ago until they began mucking with our delivery date. I recall one week when we were expecting a delivery. That order included lasagna. We decided to have it that night. All went well until we received an e-mail message informing us that our delivery date had been pushed back two weeks. We let them know loud and clear that we wouldn't put up with such behavior and ceased doing business with them.

	Given the pandemic and increased popularity of grocery delivery services we were hoping that companies that supply food to commercial establishments would begin offering home delivery services to individuals and families. These guys would be reliable and dependable and would insure that your delivery arrived when it should. Cisco Foods is one such company but there are others. They would keep the likes of Schwans on their toes and result in improvements to their scheduling and delivery practices. All the best.

Peter Donahue

Hello I will b the test candidate for the group with libre 2  and the new
libre 2 I OS app.   I have gotten a I phone xr for a good price.  I will be
getting my new refill towards the end of the year as I always do a 6 month
refill for libre senssors.  So when that  happens I will be sure to tell you
all about  it.

Hello I have gotten my new refill prescription from my endo due to the fact
he was a bit concerned  when he was  looking at my trends at my libre 1
senssor from a few weeks  ago when I saw him.  I was given the libre 2
prescription so he can better monitor my  levels and hopefully improve my
a1c levels  which have gone in the wrong  direction from 6.6 to 7.2. I will
let you all know how that  goes.  Hoping that the libre 2 will integrate
into the apple health  app like the Dexcom does.  Also he told me that the
libre 3 is under review at the FDA at the moment and will be hopefully
approved by FDA either this year or by beginning of next year which will be
the  competitor to  compete with the Dexcom g7.at this time in my life,
neither my insurance or myself are in the position to cover  the Dexcom CGM
products.  So for now the libre is doing he job. Its not he cadilac of cgm
product but it will do the job and hopefully the libre 2 and thelbire 3 will
given even better results.

I am sorry your numbers went up.
That happens to many of us so you are not alone.
So far I have been in the one hundred range.
I like that better smile.
Do you have to wear a patch over the libra.
When I wore it I did.
I got tired of persons running their hands down my arms and it would come off.

But  that's   the  case with any of these  sensors. I had the same issues
when I had the dexcom g5  in the past.   But had overlay patchs with the
dexcom as well.  
 The only difference with these two senssors is the cost he cost for the
libre 2 is the same as libre 1 at $75 per sensor wher as the dexcom  series
is more hten that plus the transmitter.  Thisis wher mostinsurance will not
cover an expensive product.  So  dexcom need ot get its act together and not
just think thathey can get he most bucks out of he product but bette think
of having better sales. If this keeps up theey will not be the favorable
product with insurance providers and those who have ot pay out of pocket.
Tahs is why the libree sytem is so popular with those who cant geti tcovered
by insurance nd its not tha bado  cover out of ocketcompare ot anything else
out there.

What makes the Libre line inferior to the Dexcom? I thought they both performed equally as well.

I know several people who say that for them, the Libre does not perform as well when the readings are low. I have always heard it wasn't as accurate, but I have not used it so have no first hand knowledge. It's certainly possible that things improve with version 2. I am glad to see that they are adding ability to set alarms for highs and lows. I also find that sending your status to your healthcare people goes much easier with Dexcom. I do like the fact that with the Dexcom, the readings are automatically taken and recorded. I don't have to scan the sensor to get the readings. But then, I'm happy as a lazy person. <grin.> 
But the truth is, anything we do that allows us to follow trends and notice if we're climbing or dropping is a good thing. No matter what diabetes management gear we use, there should be choices. Over time I suspect that everyone will catch up to everyone else. The other difference is that some of the pump companies are pairing with Dexcom and it is automatically entered into the pump, causing the pump to automatically respond by giving additional insulin or stopping briefly. Oh wait! Most of those aren't accessible to us yet. So Dexcom is further along in the arena.
That's what I can think of, for now.

I have the first one and I've found that if you just get up in the morning from laying on it, give it about 3 minutes before reading or it will be off.  Other than that, I've found them to be pretty close to a finger stick reading and when it is in doubt it tells you to do a finger stick to be sure.

Take care,  
Tony

That?s not true. I have accurate readings comparing my meter to my first gen libre, its within a few point of my meter.its not off at all.   Just like tony. I will let you know how  the libre 2 does as I will be getting it next time I do my refill.

That's  all nice and here  an there .but not all can afford the dexcom and there  should be an alternative for those who cant afford it or on fixed budget and have to pay for things out of pocket. Not all are so fortunate like you  or others  who are on medicare  or have insurance subsidize things for them .  So please don?t always generalized things. All of these cgm products do a better job for all . not all type 2 are able to  either qualify or get   covered by insurance for dexcom. So that is where  libre is filling the  void .also the libre  2 is more accurate also the libre 3 is in the pipeline.   The libre 3 is already overseas and itsa real time cgm like the dexcom g6.  The insurance prodivders are more likely to cover the libre compared ot he dexcom due ot hthe over cost of the dexcom to the libre. So I have made the argument that you like to generalize about ddexcom and libre. So please let us choose what works and not pressure people to get  only one product dexcom. This sort of pressuring and debates always happen around tech and what camp your in as far as tech.

Nothing it?s the fact that people are judging something that they have not tried .  these libre product are the best selling cmg products for the  type 2 community wher they cant even qualify for dexcom and have tojump through hoop to get hese through the insurance providers . Also they are the more mainstream one overseas compared to dexcom. So its not always the dexcom way or the highway.but there are alternatives and not all can afford the dexcom and have to  rely on what  works for them.

But the cost for textcom is more than that that's all I was saying. I'm 
going to just leave it at that I don't want to go any further everybody 
will use what they need to use it is good that there's options out there 
and that a lot of people can take advantage of these ecgm systems to manage 
your diabetes even better than finger pricks from the olden days that's all 
I was saying I'll just leave it at that thanks for listening and 
understanding and anyways we'll see how things go and I'll just do my thing 
and I'll just follow what's going on in this list going forward I want to 
leave my grievances or anything here I'll just leave things to myself thank 
you take care

For those of you who are so quick to judge the freestyle libre negatively even though you have not used it ever, please remember this. Many of us have used it successfully, with accurate readings in line with our finger sticks according to the information in the literature. And many of us would not qualify for Dexcom and certainly could not afford it if we vbought out of pocket because it is much more expensive. In the same way I should not judge the Dexcom because I have not used it. And much depends on what insurances will and will not cover. Both products have much merit and both are important in this market and we should be working together to keep both in the forefront and both on the market because both have their place.

I've been using the first version since they were approved in the US.  If it weren't for my FreeStyle Libre, I might not have found out that I had been hitting under 40 mg/dl some nights.  Now I'm just waiting for the Freestyle Libre 2 version to arrive in about a week through mail order.  Any tool that helps you manage your diabetes is worth it and we should all know by now that not everyone has the same experience with everything out there.  What works perfectly for one person may fail miserably for someone else.  The big difference here is FreeStyle Libre 1 and 2 work on interstitial fluids, not blood, so there are bound to be differences for some people based on fat and muscle build.  Best of luck to everyone!

Take care,  
Tony

In the same way I should not judge the Dexcom because I have not used it. And much depends on what insurances will and will not cover. Both products have much merit and both are important in this market and we should be working together to keep both in the forefront and both on the market because both have their place.

Say a question for you,
can you set it up on the I phone where you can ask what your number is?
This is done with siri.
I have done that with the dexcom and it works out well.
Or it will say can't find number.
That usually means blue tooth went on vacation and has to start working again.
When all of my other devices are working, I just blow it off, and know 
some how all will connect again.

I keep getting that the blue tooth isn't connected.
I went to see if I could do something about this.
Because suddenly it will connect.
While looking,
There are two dexcoms
one says dexcom g six,
the other one says dexcom 0
How can I fix problem.
I know the battery is low on it, but will change it out tomorrow. This 
happens allot, even when I change everything out.
Thanks for helping me understand what is happening.
If you would like me to call the company I can do this.
I use my phone only.

Hello Dar, I always connect on the Dexcom G6 that works. Also you have to
keep the receiver within 20 to 40 feet of the Dexcom, but they were having a
problem with the Bluetooth connecting and disconnecting all the time. I
haven't had that problem as much lately but I did have it happen a few days
ago, and there isn't anything else you can do about that. Hope this helps.

If you are wanting to remove the blutooth recever on your phone, go to the
app and open it.

Go to setting and check the QRCode of the current transmitter that is
running.

Then go to setting on your phone and open blutooth.

Find the transmitter that is no longer in use and single singer up once to
more info, single finger double tap, and single finger double tap on delete,
you will receive a confirmation to delete and that transmitter is removed.

There is no harm in deleting the old, no longer in use transmitter
identified in your blutooth setting.

When you use the phone, you don't need the receiver.
When I was checking this out, the phone was near the device you wear.

When you use the phone, you don't need the receiver.
When I was checking this out, the phone was near the device you wear.

The Bluetooth connection with the phone can be a little weird at times. I can have my phone at the other end of the house and still receive readings most of the time. On the other hand if I have my Dexcom on the backside of my left arm and my phone in my right pants pocket it sometimes will lose connection and I simply change it to the pocket on the same side of my body as the sensor.  I have been told that it?s best when you start a new transmitter to go into settings, Bluetooth and delete the old transmitter from the list.

For those of you who are so quick to judge the freestyle libre negatively even though you have not used it ever, please remember this. Many of us have used it successfully, with accurate readings in line with our finger sticks according to the information in the literature. And many of us would not qualify for Dexcom and certainly could not afford it if we vbought out of pocket because it is much more expensive. In the same way I should not judge the Dexcom because I have not used it. And much depends on what insurances will and will not cover. Both products have much merit and both are important in this market and we should be working together to keep both in the forefront and both on the market because both have their place.

Tony thanks for your support.   If its not for these cgm a lot  of type  2 diabetic would have even more complication and not all type 2 will test with a test meter and prick their fingers if they can avoid it. I have seen this in my circles of type 2 diabetics. So these cgm improve the type 2 quality of life.  Trust me before the libre 1 and now the libre 2 , I know of lot of type 2 in my circles who had bad management of their diabetes but when I showed them the libre 1 and they wer impressed with  it and I ended up selling them on the benefits of the cgm an that is how they got    the libre cgm and have better control of their diabetes management. Now they are impressed  with  it an are waiting for the libre 2 to be  able to help them even further in their diabetes management process.  So even when the libre 3 comes out then there will be  a full cgm system  at a lower cost  that all diabetic can afford and  that  all insurance wil cover with out rejection  like the dexcom which gets  rejected by insurance constantly with type 2 diabetics. I know this for a fact and thre of my friends  wer recently rejected  with dexcom and their cadilac insurance  policies  which never reject for anything ehy ask ro rrequest for but wer rejected for dexcom. The libre 1 was covered out right fully without them paying for anything out of pocket.  That is why they have decided to  be on board with the libre 1 an will be looking at the  libre 2 and any other  libre systems  that come down the pipe line.

Tony let me know how  you do with the libre 2 I will contact you off flsit and we will keep in touch about  the libre 2 system.  I just installed the libre 2 app on my I phone xr last night. Its on  the  app  store  it will support any I phone I phone 7 and higher and any I pad that  can run I OS 14. That  is the requirement for the libre 2 where  as the libre 1 required I OS 13. II don?t know what has changed but the libre 2 was installed on to my I phone xr last night. Now waiting for my sensors to arrive next month and will   then go on my way  .  I have not had any issue with libre 1 and never  had any inaccuracies with it .it always accurate with my meter within 3 to 5  units with my meter and libre 1 when I do compairison of my meter and the libre 1 system. Also I have not had any sensor fail on me in the 1.5 years of libre 1 usage compared  when I had dexcom g4 and   and g5 for a good 2.5  years where  I would hav constant failures of senssor and constant request to dexcom to have  sensor replacements.

I have only had two sensors fail on me early on and they immediately sent replacements along with return postage so they could examine the failed sensors.  I haven't had a problem with any other sensors since then aside from the glue not always holding well but I buy the Fixic adhesive patches now that hold on for dear life until you're ready to remove the sensor.  I'm currently on an iPhone XS Max running iOS 14.7.1 and have the new app ready to go when the sensors arrive.

Take care,  
Tony

I don?t know but it has  a text to sspeech when you scan it would read out the  number whehtehr your going hig or low or increasing or going low . I will try that next time and will let you know.  also the libre app will also integrate into the  apple health app. You have all kinds of info, time in range, average glucose, 7,14,30, and 90 day  glucose tracking. That way, you can at least  estimate your  a1c. also you can also link the libre to link view which is the equivelent of dexcom clarity . that way you and  your doctor have access to your  data.  I have done this with the libre 1. I will have more info about libre 2 as I begin to use it next month.

Say a question for you,
can you set it up on the I phone where you can ask what your number is?
This is done with siri.
I have done that with the dexcom and it works out well.
Or it will say can't find number.
That usually means blue tooth went on vacation and has to start working again.
When all of my other devices are working, I just blow it off, and know some how all will connect again.

I have only had two sensors fail on me early on and they immediately sent replacements along with return postage so they could examine the failed sensors.  I haven't had a problem with any other sensors since then aside from the glue not always holding well but I buy the Fixic adhesive patches now that hold on for dear life until you're ready to remove the sensor.  I'm currently on an iPhone XS Max running iOS 14.7.1 and have the new app ready to go when the sensors arrive.

Take care,

Also I have not had any sensor fail on me in the 1.5 years of libre 1 usage compared  when I had dexcom g4 and   and g5 for a good 2.5  years where  I would hav constant failures of senssor and constant request to dexcom to have  sensor replacements.

Actually, it's true for the people who told me what happened for them. I have heard quite a few people say that it's off when they start getting low. I'm very glad it doesn't do that for you. My sources are several friends and my endocrinologist. I'm not trying to bash the Libre, just passing on comment. As I said, there should be choices and I hope they all work.

That?s not true. I have accurate readings comparing my meter to my first gen libre, its within a few point of my meter.its not off at all.   Just like tony. I will let you know how  the libre 2 does as I will be getting it next time I do my refill.

I have the first one and I've found that if you just get up in the morning from laying on it, give it about 3 minutes before reading or it will be off.  Other than that, I've found them to be pretty close to a finger stick reading and when it is in doubt it tells you to do a finger stick to be sure.

Take care,
Tony

It's certainly possible that things improve with version 2. I am glad to see that they are adding ability to set alarms for highs and lows. I also find that sending your status to your healthcare people goes much easier with Dexcom. I do like the fact that with the Dexcom, the readings are automatically taken and recorded. I don't have to scan the sensor to get the readings. But then, I'm happy as a lazy person. <grin.> But the truth is, anything we do that allows us to follow trends and notice if we're climbing or dropping is a good thing. No matter what diabetes management gear we use, there should be choices. Over time I suspect that everyone will catch up to everyone else. The other difference is that some of the pump companies are pairing with Dexcom and it is automatically entered into the pump, causing the pump to automatically respond by giving additional insulin or stopping briefly. Oh wait! Most of those aren't accessible to us yet. So Dexcom is further along in the arena.

Gary, please calm down. I don't think anyone is using words like inferior. It may be that one device or another may be better in certain situations. Everyone's needs are different. When I look at things like insulin pumps, each has different features, some I want and some I don't. When I started, Libre didn't exist. For a long time, hopefully that's changing now, one could not get alarms from the Libre. That was very important to me. I do understand how to get readings from the different devices. That for me is just a preference. But for me, as a type 1, choosing a device that gave me the alarms felt critical. For anyone who may have different needs or circumstances, it's great that there's another product out there. Nothing more, nothing less.

Also they are the more mainstream one overseas compared to dexcom.

I often find, particularly when I was using the G5, that with two different
transmitters showing up in the bluetooth, it would get confused. When I got
rid of the old one, it stopped losing its mind over bluetooth. They told me
that they get rid of the old transmitter when they update the app. Hello?
One of their dumber choices. <grin>

If you are wanting to remove the blutooth recever on your phone, go to the
app and open it.

Go to setting and check the QRCode of the current transmitter that is
running.

Then go to setting on your phone and open blutooth.

Find the transmitter that is no longer in use and single singer up once to
more info, single finger double tap, and single finger double tap on delete,
you will receive a confirmation to delete and that transmitter is removed.

There is no harm in deleting the old, no longer in use transmitter
identified in your blutooth setting.

Hello Dar, I always connect on the Dexcom G6 that works. Also you have to
keep the receiver within 20 to 40 feet of the Dexcom, but they were having a
problem with the Bluetooth connecting and disconnecting all the time. I
haven't had that problem as much lately but I did have it happen a few days
ago, and there isn't anything else you can do about that. Hope this helps.

I keep getting that the blue tooth isn't connected.
I went to see if I could do something about this.
Because suddenly it will connect.
While looking,
There are two dexcoms
one says dexcom g six,
the other one says dexcom 0
How can I fix problem.
I know the battery is low on it, but will change it out tomorrow. This
happens allot, even when I change everything out.
Thanks for helping me understand what is happening.
If you would like me to call the company I can do this.
I use my phone only.

Veronica while  I often agree with you in this case I do think that it is not helpful when people who are not using the freestyle give comments about what other people have said to you. That is not helpful and I think it is part of the reason that people are getting so upset about this discussion. I do know that I would no more comment on things about the Dexcom because I don?t use it I only know what other people have told me. But I think passing along information about a device   that you are not using has fueled the fire in this case. So perhaps it would be good if we all sat back and just comment on the device that we use. We can give each other more accurate information that way. We all know the information that goes through two or three hands can potentially be misconstrued and that as we all know it?s not our purpose here.

But that where  type 1 have advantages over er type 2. Not all products are catered towards us. So I will give you a pass this time.but don?t generalize things as they relate to the diabetic world as the type 1 have more better treatment then type 2 when it  comes to any of these sort of products. Type 2 have to fight for everything whether that be new insulins, new cmgs or even any other medications  that will improve their lives compared to  type 1. That is a fact and that was  told to me by my endo who sees both type 1 and type 2 diabetics.

Gary, please calm down. I don't think anyone is using words like inferior. It may be that one device or another may be better in certain situations. Everyone's needs are different. When I look at things like insulin pumps, each has different features, some I want and some I don't. When I started, Libre didn't exist. For a long time, hopefully that's changing now, one could not get alarms from the Libre. That was very important to me. I do understand how to get readings from the different devices. That for me is just a preference. But for me, as a type 1, choosing a device that gave me the alarms felt critical.

Nothing it?s the fact that people are judging something that they have not tried .  these libre product are the best selling cmg products for the  type 2 community wher they cant even qualify for dexcom and have tojump through hoop to get hese through the insurance providers . Also they are the more mainstream one overseas compared to dexcom. So its not always the dexcom way or the highway.but there are alternatives and not all can afford the dexcom and have to  rely on what  works for them.

What I would hate was this,
folks want to guide you with your arms, then they slide their hand down 
your arms and that would take off the sencer.
That was one of the reasons why I wanted to go to the dexcom six.
They had no reason to touch my tummy.
Crazy I had it happen more than once.
