I am a type 2 diabetic. I was at 276 pounds and on 300 units of insulin a day when put on a libre 2 CGM . Extreme inaccuracy made it useless so my provider switched me to a Dexcom 6. Diet, exercise and lots of CGM feedback later I am at goal weight of 155 and on 3 units per day of Lantus, plus one unit of novolog as needed (once every three or four days on average.) Because of my retinopathy I keep super tight control, under 140 and above 70. Am not above 140 more that three or four times a month, and even then get it back down within 15 minutes. Have not been above 160 in over a year. I was forced by circumstances to get a new phone which does not work with the dexcom g6 app, so am attempting to switch to xdrip. Hoping this forum will get me through the transition. If I cannot get xdrip to work I will end up having to use my old phone as reader and my new phone as a phone and do not really wish to carry two device.
