Just a brief note that Juggluco is back on the Google Play store, after a hiatus.
It’s an awesome app for those using the libre 2 thru libre 3+, an alternative to the terrible factory app.
I actually use 4 apps:
factory app to start sensors
Juggluco to collect data and transfer to other apps
Xdrip+ to track IOB and for it’s flexibility in alarms
GlucoDataHandler for alarms, but mostly due to its widget, which updates every minute(xdrip updates every 5 minutes).
Attached are a few pictures of how this works for me:
Juggluco is white, my home screen is black, (note the GlucoDataHandler widget), and xdrip is black (note the difference between 5 minute and 1 minute glucose values…)
Also, there’s a slight difference in IOB between GlucoDataHandler and xdrip, not exactly sure how that occurs… IOB in GlucoDataHandler is coming from xdrip.
Another update: that sensor finished its life, accurate until the end. I’m super pleased-I didn’t use the factory libre app over the entire life of the sensor.
@mike_g are you still having success overall? Happy with accuracy?
I am fed up with G7 failures and inaccuracy. My Dr. suggested I try the Libre. I don’t use Control IQ on my Tandem, so no worries there - I could start with the libre 3+.
Hello. Yes, I’ve been happy with L3, and now L3+, which has been the past few months or so. Accuracy has been great when it’s not a defective sensor. I like the small size and the adhesive too-G6 sensors gave me allergic reaction, but no issues with libre sensors for me.
Looking back over the past year, I see 5 sensors were replaced for me, so approx. 20% failures. I use a benchmark of >20% variance from BG test (contour next value) during days 3-10. First day or two can be inaccurate at times, as well as after day 10 or 12 so I calibrate as needed during those periods using xdrip+. I call for replacement when testing falls outside that margin. They’re very helpful.
Note that if a sensor will need replacement, I take it back over with the factory app and log a few tests (BG and CGM values) so I can share them with the libre agent on the phone.
If you’re able to use xdrip+ on your device, it’s worthwhile for reasons mentioned earlier but also for ability to calibrate. Note that calibrations in xdrip are a linear function, resulting in addition or subtraction from the sensor reported value.
