Hi all, the calibrations I make sometimes don’t stick, which has been happening from the beginning of my xDrip+ use (a few months ago) – unfortunately I’ve always had to re-calibrate it at least once every few days (over a number of sensors), which is annoying but a tradeoff I would grudgingly be willing to make if necessary. Is there way to keep this from happening? I despise the Dexcom app but it did stay quite accurate over the full sensor life, so hopefully I can do something to get xDrip+ to stay that accurate without needing to re-calibrate and then worrying about whether I’m seeing the right reading.
This time I tried starting it up with the receiver at the same time when I started the newest sensor, but the issue remains.
@Headlands if you are using XDrip in conjunction with a Tandem pump, you can force the calibration through the pump. On the next sensor push, XDrip will follow the pump calibration.
@docslotnick might also have suggestions. You could PM him…
@Headlands If the calibration does not sync up with the calibration table, xDrip+ will reject it on the G6. Sometimes the blood test does not even stay in the main screen graph as a small square.
If it really bothers you, you can turn off native mode and see if that helps.
As you can see, calibration is a different animal on the G6.
I think the calibration issue @Headlands is speaking about also exists on the G5, at least for me. If the Calibration figure is outside the expected scatter I get an Error 17/Rejected message. I just force calibrations through my pump so I don’t have to deal with the rejected calibrations.
I also use the Contour Next One which plots the data point regardless of XDrip’s rejected calibration. I generally add a contextual note so my care team has an idea of what’s going on when they examine the data on Tidepool.
What does that mean exactly: Sync up with the calibration table? I can’t trust it all of the time, which is dangerous, so if I can’t remedy it then I can’t use xDrip+ reliably…which would be awful due to the unbelievably poor Dexcom app.
I’ll try turning off native mode and see if that makes it work properly.
I stopped using the Dexcom app months ago and xDrip is whatever the latest version was 8 days ago when I downloaded and reinstalled from scratch, 1904011302.
