[Diabetes-Talk] Not working

Thu Dec 27 23:07:14 UTC 2018

Hello Dar, 

I am glad that I could be of assistance with getting you up and running. I love the system and hope that you will find success with the application now that we worked out the password issues and figured out the sensor and other issues.

Please let me know if there is any other questions you run into over the next couple of days.
