Abbott Freestyle Libre now approved in the US

Also with xDrip+ the developer has cracked the 10 day shutoff with the G6. So there is really no reason to accept Dexcom’s whims to make more money.

And using xDrip+ I did get over 180 days of transmitter usage.

how does that work?

The sensor is stopped at day six and automatically restarted with the 10 day kill switch reset. I don’t know exactly how it’s done, but it is now an option in the xDrip+ app.

wow, it really is amazing how fast the open-source community has managed to hack these things to the betterment of everyone.

Received my (US spec) Freestyle Libre recently and have been looking online for support resources. Found this update link today and have asked my DME supplier for the how and when of availibility: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/abbotts-freestyle-libre-14-day-flash-glucose-monitoring-system-now-approved-in-us-300687894.html Looks as if this will improve utility. Sounds great to me - apols if old news to you.
