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!)

Hello, we met at the Diabetes UK Food Upfront workshop. There is an article on Anthony Fisher in the latest issue (281) of Balance magazine. He has built a website (bgonmywatch.com) on CGM. There's a lot of information there but it is informative. It has spurred me on to using CGM and was wondering how you were getting on with you MiaoMiao. Are you happy with it and could you now live without it?
 
Hello, I’ve been referred here by Benny who saw my post in the parents section re my 10 year old daughter with T1 for whom we now need alerts. I’m reading this thread with great interest (and have also been talking to Dexcom, but that’s expensive whereas the libre will be available for us soon on the NHS in our borough). My daughter uses libre already so adding blucon or miaomiao may well be the way forward. Does anyone here use either for a child? Thanks for any advice.
 
Hi. Asking again whether anyone on this has used Miaomiao with libre for a child? I thought I was set on dexcom 6 but showed dexcom and Miaomiao to my daughter and husband online and they both got really excited about Miao Miao and said it is a no brainer. Daughter LOVED the look and feel of Miao Miao on Miao Miao cool and is already a libre convert. I figure it’s her bit of kit, not mine, so why not let her have one she will feel proud to wear? She loves that it has a rechargeable battery lasting a really long time, that there is no other handset and she can keep the libre one.

Hi @shoshanna, I can't help personally, but if you are on Facebook I would suggest asking your question on the following groups, where you might be able to reach a wider audience 🙂

Parents of Children With Type 1 Diabetes In The UK

uk users freestyle libre

Miaomiao Smart Libre Reader

Also, bear in mind that Libre 2 is in the offing, so may not be far off production, and this will offer (as far as I know) a bluetooth connection and operate more like a CGM 🙂

Hope you can find some answers 🙂

The Libre is Good, The info it tells you is fantastic. 😉Pls tell her she knows
 
Hi Northerner and Hobie. Thanks for your help. Am checking out the various groups and meanwhile we ordered a MiaoMiao and if it turns up from China - great, if not then we will get a Dexcom trial and as you say, Libre 2 is round the corner.
 
My miaomiao took about 3 weeks to arrive, did start to panic but it came eventually! I do love it, even though it tells me lots I don't want to know! The alarms overnight are lifesaving, if tiring!

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?

I am getting the "Untrusted Enterprise Developer" error when running Spike and i know i need to trust the developer in settings > General > Device Management but wondering how legit the developer and this app is.
Has anyone had any issues after accepting this and using the Spike app?

Hello...I’ve been reading your posts with great interest. I’m so very sorry to read about your daughter and her awful hypo....it really is every parents worst nightmare, including mine. My son was diagnosed in September and this has always been my greatest fear. Anyway I’m just posting tonight to ask how you are finding the MiaoMiao ?? We currently use Libre but are very interested is converting it to CGM rather than just flash. Thank you x

Hi Catherine... I have been using the miaomiao for about 6 months and it's simply brilliant - yet not perfect. It basically allows for you to determine your own "Going high and Going low" alarms and unless it hits that predetermined BM level then you can live your life.
The drawbacks (not that there are many) is that if your alarm goes off, say because your alarm limit was 9 mmols and it goes to 10. It will alert you again when it comes back down and hits 9 again.
This isn't a game changer but rather an unnecessary annoyance. It would be great to see the technology account for BMs that are heading in the right direction.
Anyway it has helped me get my HBA1C below 50 which is amazing.
Hope this helps?
Phil

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.

Hi where did you order the miao miao from.? How long did it take to arrive? Thanks dd
 
I managed to get a Miao Miao 2 for £120 from eBay, apparently they cost about £160 from source or you can try to win a freebie from “Type one talks” on YouTube (He does excellent vids btw). Arrived yesterday and experimented with the tomato app but not impressed so trying out glimp which so far I like!
