Terence EdenA question for my #Android friends.
Did you know that you can turn off auto-update in the Google Play appstore?
It allows you to keep old versions if an update contains something you don't like.
How many apps do you have frozen in time?
IanCarpentry@Edent I do and highly recommend anyone else who uses a #libre also turns off the auto updates and does them manually. As a #t1d diabetic my phone is a medical device, taking and showing my blood glucose measurements from a sensor in my arm. Among other things, I keep control of when my phone updates both it's OS and this particular app. Waiting until it's known to be a stable version before taking the update.
The_Turtle_Moves@IanCarpentry @Edent how long is the wait though? Dexcom usually seems to be closer to two years than one behind on Android releases, and having my phone/medical device exposed to bored North Korean malware-writers seems bad too...
@IanCarpentry @Edent basically, I'd rather have the Dexcom app middling screwed up (which is the norm anyway, in my experience, those alarms are hilariously unreliable) but have my banking more secure than have Dexcom happy.
I will say, I feel somewhat better now the CGM talks directly to my pump without the phone in between, and I trust the omnipod guys to keep their stuff current and compatible, although I REALLY wish the pump wasn't hooked up the Internet...
