CW: Health stuff, diabetes
If have been given au #FreestyleLibre3 #bloodglucose monitor by my doctor. The mobile app is horrendous, which is fine, I'm using #mysugr for journaling. But these small pieces of 💩 keep falling off. The first one said good by after about 12 days, the last three after around 9. They are suposed to last 15 days. Any other peeps with #diabetes got any tips on how to convince these to stick to my skin for longer?
I did shaved my whole arm and rub it down thoroughly with an alcohol wipe before applying the sensor. I do not apply any lotion around the sensor. I started covering them with watertight foil when I'm taking a shower, go for a swim or go to the sauna. Didn't really help too much.

I hate that some blood glucose tracking apps will report an estimated A1c as anything called A1c, even estimated. Many apps and tools transitioned to calling this Glucose Management Indicator, or GMI, in order to get away from the confusion of why a measured A1c is different from an estimated A1c.
mySugr appears to be changing their app. Which is a great step, especially for an app designed for logging finger sticks, not CGM data. In fact, they're not even going to call it GMI, apparently. Rather, Diabetic Management Indicator (DMI) because their math and estimates will be way different from a CGM based estimate.
This really needs to be done on all similar apps. There's always inevitably someone asking in one of the communities why their A1c is different between the doctor's office and their app.
To those that may not realize: HbA1c is a measurement of glycated hemoglobin, and the blood panel test will directly test this. GMI, on the other hand, is an estimated A1c based on blood glucose trends through some form of measurement, typically CGM, and depends on the accuracy of the measurement.

Na Androidzie używam własnościowej apki #mySugr do synchronizacji glukometru (chętnie zastąpię ją czymś wolnym). Apka punktuje wprowadzanie danych. Wbij cukier, dostajesz punkty, węglowodzny, punkty, dawki insuliny, punkty, tagi, punkty.
Dawki insuliny dzielą się na posiłkowe i korekty. Za każdą punkty są przyznawane oddzielnie.
Tak więc, jeśli masz wysokie cukry i musisz korygować, dostajesz więcej punktów niż kiedy trzymasz się w zakresie. Ma to sens, prawda?

I'm using the proprietary #mySugr Android app to sync the data from my glucometer (and I'd love to replace it with something open source). One of the app's features is giving points for data input. Enter blood sugar, you get points, enter carbs, points, enter insulin doses, points, tag, points. You get the idea.
Now, insulin doses are split into meal and correction doses. Both grant points separately.
Effectively, this means that if you repeatedly suffer from elevated blood sugars and need to correct them, you get more points than if you're well in range. Makes sense, right?
