    This app needs to be sideloaded. It cannot be obtained from the app store. You can see info on https://spike-app.com, but don’t attempt to install using the instructions there as it isn’t being maintained. Join the Facebook group, it has the recent manuals. If you’re interested anyway. It’s useless without FSL1 or a Nightscout server. One word of advice: when you join the FB group, do what the rules say and read the install instructions. As it is maintained by just the one person, it’s a very tight ship to ensure the group runs so efficiently that he’s able to continue doing it on his own in his spare time. Has no patience at all for laziness, but tons of patience when you at least try but fail for whatever reason.
  • Help getting a Dexcom G6 Transmitter.
    1 project | /r/diabetes | 23 Dec 2021
    If your Dexcom G6 transmitter is recent, it is not easily replaceable. Only the 81xxxx and 80xxxx series (I suspect the 8Uxxxx as well, which is oddly a G6 Firefly Medicare version - but I don't legal access to this version so I only have my suspicion) were easily replaceable with use of a dremel. However, you may be able to extend the transmitter's life through the Spike-App (iOS) or the xDrip+ (Android) application.
  • How to make my alarms louder?
    2 projects | /r/dexcom | 15 Oct 2021
    I've heard of xdrip Swift and Spike. But i have no personal experience with either, so can't say if they're equivalent. There is Sugarmate, which i think will call a phone number, if a ringing phone would wake you. Not exactly what your asking, but a literally LOL setup was what u/rhett342 created, so a Billy Big Mouth Bass would speak his BG readings.
  • Libre Link - no way to see blood sugar at a specific time

    Try a different app for ios like Spike. https://spike-app.com X-drip for Android https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/dps1kz/dexcom_g6_and_x_drip/
  • [Help] FreeStyle LibreLink Crashing after Unc0ver jb - iOS 14.2
    1 project | /r/jailbreak | 10 Mar 2021
    Found this open source project on Github. You might be interested in it but please be careful though. Rather you’d just unjailbreak than potentially take a risk at your health.
