[Diabetes-Talk] free style libre

[Jude DaShiell]

A mode calculation for all of these devices would be helpful.  That's
the BG number you get most often this way a user could have a pretty
good idea how normal their reading was for them.  Changes in mode over
time would also be informative.

I also can look back on what my BGs have been through out the day, week, month, etc. This section of the app is a little weird with VoiceOver but it is doable. The biggest thing that I love about the Libre system is the overall price. It?s much cheaper then the DexCom system.
