[Diabetes-Talk] My Saturday night G7 adventure.

[Veronica Elsea]

Hi everyone.
Okay, I did as I said I would. 
First, I did get the QR code by taking a picture. Wow! It was a bit twiddly
fiddly. My phone didn't vibrate or make noise when I got it though. I just
got the message about pairing. The first time I got it, I wasn't sure I had
gotten it, because it left me in the place where I'd enter the code
manually. So being unsure, I backed out and did it again. The second time I
got the pairing request, it still felt just a little funny where I was left,
but I eventually did find the start button and off it went. But I was
thrilled to see that unlike the G6, we had a longer time to play with the
"take picture" mode and it didn't time out. Woo hoo!
I had put the new sensor on 1 hour before I let the old one expire. I wanted
as littler interruption of what I was doing, so it worked out that way. I
think I ended up with about a minute of no sensor readings, so that was
pretty cool.
I'm also playing with some of the alerts. I'm trying out the new change in
the high alert where I've told it that my reading must be high for half an
hour before bugging me, so any quick post-meal spikes won't bug me. Since
urgent low wasn't kicking in till my reading was around 60, I added in a low
and set it to 80. Hopefully this will keep me from crashing so much.
I'm still not overly impressed with the alarms. Most of them are like those
in the G6.
And I still have a bit of difficulty getting that itty bitty piece of tape
off.
But thanks for the nudge on the cool new discoveries. I still want my stop
or replace button and a better blue tooth. But I did enjoy playing with the
good stuff.
Now we'll see how the sensor behaves all week.
Thanks for the tidbits.
