ATTD The last few days have shown us various exciting bits of technology from the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) conference in Vienna. This is just a few of the highlights: Roche & open protocols In October last year the JDRF announced their Open Protocol Initiative, calling on equipment manufacturers to open up …
A closed-loop system can only be as good as the CGM that’s feeding it. Keeping that CGM accurate is essential! I’m currently running an experiment where I’m using a Dexcom G5 sensor and a Libre sensor concurrently to compare the behaviour and results. Mostly they track fairly closely, although at first glance the Libre does …
Earlier this week I replaced my first Dexcom G5 CGM sensor, after letting it run for over 16 days. Here’s part of the graph shown by xDrip+ (the CGM that runs on an Android phone) for the old sensor. You can see the way the value is skipping up and down, and this is the …
Well my first sensor, anyway. Having switched my CGM from Libre sensors as an experiment, I’ve been using a G5 transmitter and a single sensor. But in the last few days the values being returned have been a bit jittery, and xDrip+ has been reporting high noise from time to time. Here’s a little sample from …
I’m in the middle of one of many experiments: I’m now using a Dexcom G5 CGM system instead of a Freestyle Libre. It’s not necessarily going to be a permanent change, but I have a box of G5 sensors to work through while I compare the two. I’ve been using the Libre since it became available …
