This CGM App Changed My Life.

This app is called Sweet Dreams sugar tracker and it provides advanced features to manage blood sugar readings from both FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom CGMs.

Let me know what you think of this app. Will it make your life easier or is it a waste of time?

[hummadruz]

Come on developers GO ANDROID! This looks like a game changer!

[lolly_bread]

Meh, I want info immediately from the sensor, not 15 minutes later from my account in the cloud.
Here's a novel idea - How about Abbott gets their shit together on the Freestyle app; and also makes it easy to see the BGL values on a Samsung watch.

No Android app?.. very disappointed.. however, it sounds great.. I am an Android phone, and you are correct.. ALL of these features are great to have.. thank you for the info.. look forward to the Android version app.

Sadly, this ap does not appear to be available to Android users (in the US, at least).

[averagehumanbeing]

i am getting this app. As a type one diabetic pre-teen, this will be very convinient! Thanks for letting me know about this app!

Are you aware that Dexcom 6 displays blood sugar reading with a touch and a swipe on an I-phone screen, or by a mere verbal command. Simply call out ‘hey siri, get glucose’. Siri verbally announces it and displays it on the phone screen. Great features on the Dexcom 6 for night time or hands free while driving.

Dear Tom,

Thank you very much for all your great videos you post on You Tube, I find it interesting to follow the latest developments regarding blood sugar management. You know super much about it and that's great.
My name is Hans de Bos, I am 62 years old and have had type 1 diabetes for almost 40 years. My health is good and blood sugar values are generally good.
There is always room for improvement so I too am looking for better measurement methods. I recently discovered that my freestyle libre2 sensors also have a bluetooth function! So I have a technical question for you. I would like to measure my values with an apple watch, using the librewatch software. I find this quite difficult, so I want to know if I can measure glucose with the apple watch directly without my Iphone. Because I do not always have my phone with me and because I live in the French Pyrenees where there is not always mobile coverage. I often cycle or take walks in remote areas. So do I need the Sweet Dreams app or will the librewatch software suffice. There is so much to know about the possibilities that I don't know where to start, especially before buying an Apple Watch.
Thank you Tom for your help!

Kind regards Hans de Bos

I was definitely interested, but unfortunately, there's no Android version. Maybe one day.

Clever app with the risk that CGM providers could block access or state that it invalidates terms of use. I hope the big dogs buy Sweet Dreams and integrate the tech into their own CGM interfaces ( and make it android compatible). Btw the UX on your videos continues to be great especially when you show the shots with the phone bring used.

What cgm do you recommend? How long they last?
Looking for one with best history and meal tracking that gives accurate numerical mgdl. Compatible with best recommended app?
What is recommended app?
When I say best I mean has all these features and is affordable. Thank you! Should I buy now or is there better products coming to market soon?

[Usse]

Wow...super helpful! The snooze function and custom alerts is sooo missing on Libre 3 system/app. Also the message group for me as a care giver is a big plus.

[juannoval]

Are there plans for an Android version in the US? Looks awesome but if you run an Android phone like I do then it's useless to me 😢

[diabe_tech]

The best! You beat me to it on this video ;)

Day 17 on Stelo, game changer for a non insulin T2🎉🎉🎉

[kecemmyfelt]

Hello, I have had type 1 diabetes for 39 years (I'm 47). I started having problems with delayed gastric emptying. 2 hours after the meal, my postprandial blood sugar is lower than my fasting blood sugar, and in the 3rd and 4th hours my blood sugar begins to rise. I'm trying to solve it with a double bolus or temporary basal increase on the insulin pump. I'm having a hard time. I need to hear from people who have experienced a similar situation and if there are solutions. Thank you.

[rogermody]

Can you use the Sweet Dreams App in conjunction with the Libre 3 App on your iPhone? Thank you for helping all of us with diabetes which is much appreciated.

[ronko]

Thumps up for the developers but both thumps down for no android version :(

[sgwilsonmd]

OK. So when are they offering it for the half of America that owns an Android phone (Samsung in my case).

[BillYovino]

Do you know if this will work with the new Dexcom Stelo?
