Never seen an app go so wrong, so fast.

The #Abbott #Freestyle #Libre3 app has pissed off all its #diabetic users w/:
❌ app crashes
❌ bad readings
❌ false alarms at 3AM

...all from one dumb update, no relief in sight & no appstore response other than to "call their customer service line".

Awful.

The one thing not going super great with this pump is..the CGM. The G7.

I miss my Libre 3. It didn’t have this many issues. I wish Abbott would push this through for integration.

Control-IQ seems to be powering through it though.

I have ended my experiment using a Dexcom Stelo alongside a Libre 3 Plus. I have learned all that I think I care to learn.

The Stelo is removed and no longer contributing to annoyingly inaccurate data.

It lasted longer than 10 days without getting noisy, which was one of the big things I wanted to learn. This means G7 shouldn’t be a big problem. This is important as I will be switching to the G7 when I get my Mobi pump.

I’ve decided Dexcom Stelo is not a good product.

Freestyle Libre 3 Plus is also a 15 day sensor that doesn’t allow calibration. But in my experience, Libre tends to not require calibration as it tends to follow BG fairly well.

This Stelo has been persistently 20-50 mg/dL over Libre 3 and BG.

If this is a common problem, this makes figuring out if the regimen is doing its job way more difficult.

And Libre 3 Plus is cheaper.

So I’ve been running a Libre 3 Plus and Dexcom Stelo on myself for several days. I have Shuggah connected to the Stelo and sending the data to Nightscout while there is a separate “sidecar” service handling the Libre data going into Nightscout. Basically, I can follow the data all in one place within Nightscout even if it’s not really designed for that.

The Stelo is consistently reading higher than the Libre. The range at which it tends to be higher can be just a few mg/dL to as high as 40 mg/dL. Dexcom does a bit more smoothing so rate of change can be slightly slower.

More interesting: who is more accurate? The last 2 blood checks have shown the Libre to be within a few mg/dL.

Neither of these can be calibrated.

I have to switch to G7 (what the Stelo is based on) when I start on a pump, which I believe does allow for calibration.

Disclaimer: Stelo is not meant to be used by people using insulin. I am basing my dosing decisions on my Libre 3 Plus.

Super interesting data and observations! Will be interesting to see how they behave towards the end of their 15 days, as Dexcom’s G7 has struggled to stay consistent for its 10 day life, based on users of that system.

Interesting observation running both a Dexcom Stelo and Libre 3 Plus through Nightscout: The random spikes and return to normal from Libre 3 are purely a Libre 3 thing and not something weird with my body. The Stelo never registers the spikes.

LibreLinkUp US is back!

And yeah, I had a hard drop during the dog walk. Fun stuff.

The Libre 3 app exaggerates the drop a bit, though. Because it has a non-adjustable time view. And it smooths out how low I went.

This is why I prefer using other apps to view my data and get alerts.

Ugh, looks like LibreLinkUp US is having issues but their status page says all is fine. This is affecting many of my diabetes management tools. I’m about to go for a walk with IOB.
