xDrip-plus reviews and mentions

• What is the solution to a chirping diabetes monitor?
  1 project | /r/diabetes | 19 May 2023

  If your brother has an android phone and is a little technically savvy, suggest setting up xDrip+ to monitor the dexcom rather than the default device. There's a ton of features, but he wouldn't need to use most of them if he didn't want to. The great thing about the app in this case is that you can setup detailed custom alarm profiles that depend on things like time-of-day and specific blood sugar levels. You can set the alarm to get increasingly louder, or set it to play a custom alarm ringtone or sound of your choosing. This has really helped me because I can change the alarm sound every year or so to avoid sleeping through it.

• Need Help with creating a custom Watchface which shows my bloodsugar values!

  Other option is to use xDrip+ https://github.com/jamorham/xDrip-plus which does have custom complication too

• Google Pixel Watch: will I see my g6 readings?
  2 projects | /r/dexcom | 15 Oct 2022

  There's documentation here on how to get it working in standalone mode.

• Alert settings for son (2yr old)
  1 project | /r/dexcom | 5 Jul 2022

  Our son was also diagnosed at 2. We run xdrip+ on our phones and it has a very loud alarm that's guaranteed to wake you up. We run the Follow app as a second alarm. We also have the receiver in our bedroom as a third alarm and a backup in case share stops working (rare but it does happen).

• Is there a CGM that will alert family or neighbors if you’re really low or high?
  1 project | /r/diabetes | 28 Dec 2021

  For Android, xDrip+ contains an Emergency Message feature, which can send a text with your location if you don't respond to alarms: https://i.imgur.com/xTs8830.png

• Dexcom and the limitations of the 'Follow' app for parents
  1 project | /r/diabetes_t1 | 13 Mar 2021

  Presume XDrip is likely the answer… but might need someone with experience getting it going. https://github.com/jamorham/xDrip-plus/blob/master/Documentation/WatchGuide.md

• Dexcom G6 + Watch for 5YO boy
  1 project | /r/dexcom | 5 Jan 2021

  If you are willing to change the operating system and enter die DIY-world, this might be possible. Take a look at this link: https://github.com/jamorham/xDrip-plus/blob/master/Documentation/WatchGuide.md In the section "Choosing a Watch" there seem to be some tried and tested Android Wear watches. The keyword being "collector", which means the watch can run as a standalone. I only know my way around xdrip and have never used a watch like this, so I can only point you in that direction. Of course you should read the entire document or at least what seems relevant to you now.
