When we compared the Libre and the Dexcom, we promised to come back to one question — following. Now that the Libre can be followed on an Omnipod 5, here's the whole picture, kept simple: from the child's sensor to a parent's wrist, even when neither one carries a smartphone.
This week in one place: why twiist won't let me bolus at 80, soaking a new sensor and whether it costs you days, and this week's Forum – your letters on the blocked bolus, Libre recalls, Medtronic sensors, and a faulty cassette.
Your letters on twiist's blocked bolus – a pump that should ask if you've eaten, a loop-off trick, and a faulty cassette – plus your soaking questions: Libre recalls, the warm-up, Medtronic sensors, and a G7 test trick.
אייערע בריוו וועגן דעם בלאקירטן bolus ביי דער twiist פאמפ – א פאמפ וואס זאל פרעגן צי איר האט געגעסן, א קונץ מיטן loop סיסטעם, און א פעלערדיגע קאסעט. דערצו אייערע פראגעס וועגן א sensor איינווייקן: די Libre recalls, די warm-up צייט, און ביי Medtronic אויך.
You can put a new sensor in before the old one runs out and start it later. On a Libre that costs you nothing. On a Dexcom G7 the sensor's clock may already be running, so timing matters.
