Thank you very much for you´re nice words
I’m always glad to share my mind with other diabetics.
we all are sitting in the boat, so we have to support each other.
Everyone who ask will get an answer. the tech behind these
devices and the depending apps are can confuse a little bit.
If I can help anyone please let me know
Big thanks for the lovely welcome I’m glad for having registered
I have desgined at least 10 Watchfaces for the useon the Galaxy Watches. Every Samsung Smartwatch can be used for that. I have written a ;manual to set up that. I think i can wait that week
If somebody have so much interest the go to Github and search vor wagnefrede.
Thats my github username on my Account you´ll find one repo. how to get xdrip values to galaxy watch. in that repo you find all of my documentations
I’m one of the oldtimers here, diagnosed over 53 years ago. The first 25 my treatment involved syringe injections and urine testing, then early BG meters that took 2 minutes to get result (using huge drop of blood). The pace of change in last 20 years has been incredible, yet the basics remain.
I’m generally slower to adopt the newer tech, having gotten used to the old ways, but did recently start using xDrip with my dexcom, and use Ionic fitbit watch to see my bg. Started with medtronic cgms, then early dexcom seven, and soon to transition to dexcom G6. This way I get to learn from all the others that adopt it first and work out all the bugs/tips.
I´m glad to be here and if I can answer you some questions about the Dexcom G6, then please let me know.
There are some new very important infos about the behaviors and some tricks you have to know about. Depending on how Transmitter S/N you´ll get, there are some critical things to know about.
I´m in a constant connection to 3-4 important peoples which are excellent in using xDrip and the dexcom. we are disdqussing a lot about the new securtiy levels of the new Transmitters.
Dexcom set up the security levels and I think there are some infos you might need to know.
For me there are no silly questions. If you have a question you will get an answer from me.
@FrederikDiabetics, if you would be so kind, please start a post about the Dexcom Transmitter Security Levels, I am sure there would be a wide audience for that info. I think you should be able to start a new post on your own, if you aren’t I will create that for you. Interesting subject.
Thanks to online community, I am aware of this, and was able to get one of the older transmitters.
Are you able to extend sensors with the latest transmitters?
Glad to see another serious xDrip+ user on this site. I’ve been using xDrip+ for the past two years and continue to uncover little nuggets in it on a daily basis.
Dexcom security is truly vexing. I haven’t had to deal with it yet because I’m still on G5 due to Medicare. I hope JamOrHam has it all figured out by the time I start again on G6.
I also use a watch, the SSW3 for the last couple years. I originally started using it as a collector to get around the Samsung Galaxy S3 bug, and I never went back to the phone.
@MM2
Thats the problem I think. last friday i get my new quarterly delivery and it contains the new “firefly” Transmitter. Its one of the new transmitters, S/N starts with 8Gxxx we are not ready digussing that new problems. Most people have problems to extend the sensors. Because of the “insertion Trauma” that would mean you have to wait at least 15-20 minutes after you insert a new sensor to start it. that causes that your not able to extend the sensor with the old versions of xDrip. you have to use the latest nightly. The new transmitter securitylevel we are thinking about could be this “insertion Trauma”. If you insert a new sensor you get an trauma where you insert it. the transmitter gets some health stats over the little platinum thread which sticks under your skin to get the glucose readings. and this health stats show the transmitter that you insert a new sensor. If you extend or restart an inserted sensor your transmitter isn´t getting this different values and then it think that you try to extend a sensor that causes the “NO RESTARTS!” warning.
So if you´re using the new Transmitter with 8Gxxx S/N then you´re forced to use xDrip+ Master vom 18.05.2019 or newer! And the batterylife can´t be extendet until now. Jamoham is working on sorting that issues at the moment. so if you have any options to extend your old Transmitter then do it.
But some people are able to restart there G6 sensor. You have to do it before you the sensor stopped automatically. For that you have to pull out the transmitter of your sensor by wearing it on your body after you stopped it manually. you can use a little guitar plectrum to get it out. then wait 20 minutes insert the transmitter again and the press the start button. To restart it the transmitter and the Sensor have to forget their connection. BUT until now I haven´t restaretd any of my Sensors. I can only give the same tips or instructions which other people tell me, I can´t promise this works for all other people. I haven´t test that because my current Transmitter is one of the first 81xxx its on Firmware 1.6.5.25. and I don´t have any issues with this one
@Chris
Until today we´re not ready to count and document all new security levels. We don´t want to write done facts before we have tested all that for more than 1 or 2 times. in the end I will give support and help other peoples but I dont want to give wrong tips. I hope you understand that we want to give definetly facts instead of rumours. I will post some of that If I am ready for it immediatly
@docslotnick
I think if that day comes true jamoham should be ready with updating that all.
Yes we know each other
she knows much more than me
But I am a dieabetic since 22.09.2019 at least.
Thats not a long time but from day to day I learn more and get fitter
and I know so much that I trust myself to support others.
Yes, she’s our best for supporting G6 .
I use all sensors for testing - all, without Medtrum and Enlite. 180d eversense is still implanted, but after >two years of using eversense I decided to use now a more reliable sensor for the loop (since Nov 2016); but stop, I wanted to switch to ICT because of better results. Crazy, but it is…
I know what you mean she is very good at supporting.
We have had a phone call a few days ago. very informativ.
The more you test, the more you can learn and make a good decision in the end.
I never want to miss my G6. Only because of the known facts I decided to use this CGM Sensor.
The technical side is unbeatable. if you have the right smartphone and the right smartwatch + apps
there is no other sensor which can reach my G6 for me.
But I am very interested to hear your comparison about that. Do you still testing and which major differences do you recognize until now?
I am ICT user too. I am using 2 Pediq’s 2.0 and i’m very satisfied. The one is connected with my xDrip and shares the treatments to xDrip. the other way around works too. If I add units in xDrip my Pendiq wakes up and put in the correctly dose. Very Very cool.
I have to wait until I can ask for a pump. I´m too new at this to get It now. have to wait at least half a year, said my doctor.
Hey very cool
Thanks a lot Usually I am not using forums. BUT I dont even known how much power the diabetes community have and It´s so amazing how much people are connected withi each other.
I´m so excited about that. would love to get in touch with more different people to disguss and so on.
I have to excuse, but I have made a BIG mistake in my posting about the securitylevels.
I wrote down that if you´re using a 8Gxxx Transmitter download nightly from 15.08.2019 or newer.
Thats wrong… This belongs to the Transmitter S/N that starts with 80xxx or 81xxx.
IF YOU´RE USING TRANSMITTER WITH 8Gxxx S/N, YOU HAVE TO USE NIGHTLY FROM 28.07.2019 OR NEWER!
Everyone makes mistakes. Lord knows I have made too many to count. If you want to edit your post, that is completely fine so someone reading it months from now, won’t miss it. You just hit the pencil icon.
@FrederikDiabetics, maybe I’m reading this all wrong, but you were diagnosed under a month ago… and are already doing xdrip and analyzing G6 transmitters?
@Nickyghaleb
Oh no thats totally wrong I havent recongized that. sorry. thanks for pointing me
Iam Diabetic since 22.01.2019. and yes I am dong all that iam also designing and building wacthfaces for Tizen OS and Android Wear OS Smartwatches. It´s no witchcraft to find out and get those infos about the behavior of the Trasnmitters. So I think I can talk about that. But I have to excuse about the date of my diagnosis. I´m wearing my G6 since the middle of march and thats a long time for recognizing how it works and whats the main facts about it. Its only a Bluetooth device that communicates with other devices, no new technology
Hi I’m Jan, and I’ve been lurking for a while prior to “officially” joining the forum.
I’m T1 diagnosed 40 years ago at age 22. Currently using Humalog and Lantus (MDI) and just got my Dexcom G6 about 2 months ago. The CGM has made a huge difference, changing me from an asleep at the wheel person with D to a control obsessed one.
I’m fascinated by this forum, as despite being T1 for 40 years, I’ve never actually met another T1! I have 40 years worth of questions built up with no one to ask, so I’ll probably be obnoxious asking the most simple and elementary questions. I apologise in advance!
My husband and I are ranchers in SW Montana, and raise cattle. I also just retired from 27 years of being a university professor in Animal and Range Sciences. So now I have the time to do all the research and management on D that I should have been doing all along.
Happy to meet all of you in this community!
I havent recongized that. sorry. thanks for pointing me
