I’ve seen some enthusiasm on the large Libre Facebook group but haven’t tried it. I know one person who has tried it, but haven’t seen them since to ask them about it.

Many of these add-ons (Blucon/Miao Miao) seems to be quite fiercely marketed, and often use different interpretation algorithms if the ‘raw data’ that comes from the sensors - which may have an effect on accuracy?
 
Use it and love it. The battery lasts approx 2.5 libre sensors. You can use it with iPhone or Android (iPhone app is in Beta, Android you have to download following instructions). Not too bad to set up but it's great to see updated BG's every 5 mins on my smartwatch. The profile of the MM is low too so not an easy target for door frames.

Where can you buy the Miaomiao in the UK?
 
I don't, I use an iPhone 6S. I'm wondering if it supports the Spike app. I can't find it in apps!
 
I've just read that the Spike app is by invitation only. I now would like to buy the MiaoMiao but concerned that It’s shipped from China and should I have problems with it, I don't know where I would stand.
 
Hello Carey - I've just sent for one as I met someone with one last Saturday, she was very impressed with it, has had it about 4 months, using it with Spike app. (Met at Food Upfront workshop in London)

I will post again once I've got it! I have downloaded the spike app thanks to great help from the app developer, really good from my position as a fairly un-tech person (love using, not good with the words used!) I have wanted something similar for so long, my consultant actually told me about it, I really need the alerts.
 
We met on Saturday. I was there too! I've dark hair with a fringe. Thanks for your message. I returned home and instantly wanted to buy one.
However, I was worried that they come from America (or China?) and there is no UK representative. What happens if it is faulty? They have obviously been helpful to you. I phoned my clinic. A diabetic nurse told me that she had heard of it but not seen. She said there are several that have recently come on the market. It is not registered in the UK at the moment but she is confident it will be if it is good. I've decided to wait until I can purchase one in the UK.
Please let me know when you are up and running as I'd really like one.
 
You know, when I first saw this I thought y'all were talking about Thor's Hammer Mjolnir, which Darcy (in the film) can't pronounce, calling it Myeuh-muh...I can't pronounce it either 😱

@Andy Kaye Which smart watch do you use? I use a Sony Smartwatch 3 as a collector with Blucon Nightrider. The accuracy is very close to the libre reader.

Hi Benny G, sorry for the late reply. I also use a Sony Smartwatch 3 but not as an NFC collector, just shows my data from xDrip

As far as I can remember you can add the MiaoMiao at any point during a sensor's lifetime, I think the sensor activate routine must be software enforced as the sensor connects regardless of the readers/time active the sensor has.
 
Hi Andy thank you for your quick reply thats good to know i can use MM any time can not wait to get it in the post the phone does not connect as easily as the libre reader by hand thanks again Matchless.
 
Well, I have received my miaomiao, about 3 weeks, but it's here now! And I have been accepted by Spike app, on my iphone too.

I do love the graph, but there is just so much to learn, and no written guide how to use it! example: can I turn off the alarm after I have heard it!! For instance when I set it to alarm me when low bg, it keeps alarming until bg is back up, since that takes at least 15 minutes the alarm goes off every 4-5 minutes when the mm gets another reading - but I have already corrected with carbs and acknowledged by turning off the alarm! There are so many options and I am so slow to find them all! I haven't yet worked out how to get the food data bank to fill in the carb content - enormous amount of information!

Facebook page seems full of people who are using different app or phone. The Spike Facebook page is full of US users with different hardware too Any tips would be helpful!
 
Thanks - Snooze is in the top right menu, but otherwise exactly as you said!

Now how do I erase carbs and bolus amounts I've put in incorrectly?? (sorry, I'll work harder at finding where things are now!)
 
Well i have my MM it took 12 days to come and its brilliant i am using it with glimp on my ( huawei P smart) phone it was easy to set up just a few clicks and done,i was already using glimp before MM but it was not easy finding the sensor, only comment with glimp is that its not designed for a pump has all sorts to fill in for pen users but is very simple ,i plan to give xdrip a go later seems it has more info to see like battery use ect, I did have a accident with it the other day i caught the sensor and MM on the car door pillar getting out and had to change both sensor and MM, hope you get sorted Benny on your learning curve good luck ,
 
I have just discovered the most helpful bit on my SPIKE app with the MM, I don't think I'd ever really been able to take on board the complete picture about the speed of insulin vs the speed of carb usage, clearly there are many adjustments to be made but at last I can make use of the information! just look at the graphs when looking at COB (carbs on board) and IOB (insulin on board) versus the TIMING!
NOW I can see why I get hypos, or more important, how to stop them(I hope!!)
Not sure whether my images have been picked up?
