Hi there,
Just got my miao miao and I love it! However I'm struggling to work the tomato app, which I've been told is the most user friendly! So my issue is my phone is alarming every five minutes even if my blood sugar is stable, how do I get it to only alarm if my blood sugar is high or low, not if it's okay?
Many thanks
Im also new to this forum too so hope it's okay to ask all these questions!
 
Hello @azzie-rocker

Welcome to the forum!

I’ve separated your question into its own thread so that you get more tailored responses 🙂
 
Are you on Facebook? If so I suggest you go try the Libre Geeks group over on there, I haven't seen many that use the miao miao with the tomato app on here as I believe the most common ones to use may be spike or glimp, have you set your targets correctly though, this may help or at least another section of the site might -

New thread! Good idea, explains why when I followed the e-mailed link I did not find the new posting.

One thing that you might check: somewhere in the set up you need to set the high and low alarm levels. Alarm when it goes below 5.0 (for example), alarm when it goes above 12.5 (or example). Make sure that you have not got these values the wrong way round. Alarm when it goes below 12.5, or above 5.0.

This kind of mistake (called "a blunder") is easy to make, but can be difficult to spot.
 
The Tomato app is a fairly simple thing and surprised that it does alarms, did not think it did.

If you use Andriod then you can use xDrip or Glimp which are both free, Glimp is from the play store , xDrip is from github community.
Spike is IoS only but I would research it as Apple changed the licencing for it, not sure if they have a work around.

I use xDrip which can be a pin sometimes but you can set a load of alarms on it for many things high, low and it has a not to bad predictive calculator with it.
