[Diabetes-Talk] Freestyle libre availability update

[Gary-melconian]

you are incorrect Veronica there is a new app being developed it's already 
available overseas for Android but it's not yet here available for Apple 
voiceover or anything else but you can good advantage of Android you can 
sideload the app unlike voiceover or apple where you are stick to what they 
give you so was able to sideload the app to an Android device and take a 
look at the app designed for the libre too overseas and most of the stuff 
is accessible with talkback so I don't know where you were getting your 
information from. but yeah maybe for the Apple side it's going to take time 
for it to be developed but the app is developed for Android overseas just 
now needs to be rectified or approved by the FDA here in the states for 
Android or for Apple it always takes a bit longer because it has to be 
approved by Apple and then the FDA for Apple stuff so that's why I got a 
feeling this is going to take longer for you guys to see it on the iOS side 
relative to this Android side so it just depends some apps or easily 
approved and easily developed for iOS and some developed developed are 
easily developed for Android so it just depends anyways letting you know
