I have had the sensor for six weeks. It would be nearly impossible to talk about every feature it has because I am still discovering new tools. There is an encyclopedia worth of educational materials with the app. In six weeks, I have been able to drive down my blood sugar by 60 points and have gone from being in optimal range less than 10% of the time to well over 90%. I have lost weight and some inflammation. It is a lot easier avoiding that banana split when you see what it does to your blood sugar! I really wish this thing was around 30 years ago when I was a serious weight lifter! Knowing what your body is doing is invaluable.
Application of the sensor is easy and pain free. The instructions are idiot proof (Yay me!) and tech support is responsive when I did have questions.
If you are on the fence about this product, jump on down from it now. It is worth every penny.
App could be improved
Wish the app provided an A1C estimate like Clarity app provided.
Bigger Display
We need a bigger widget display for the Apple Watch. Its too small to see. please make it bigger. Thanks
Signos is AWESOME
Signos is awesome. It gives me real time data and helps me understand when I’m spiking so I can correlate what’s happening as it happens. And although I am mostly aware of how to manage my glucose spikes, the push notifications that tell me I need to MOVE are really helpful. Great user interface. Thank you!
Massive Battery Drain
This app burns through about 40% of my phone’s battery in a day, which ends up meaning I have to charge it partway through the day.
As far as I can tell, it’s from Bluetooth needing to be on and connected at all times, but I’ve use Bluetooth headphones for many hours and not killed my phone this fast.
I would expect the app to provide better control over how you view your data, for how expensive it is, like toggles for timeframe and smoothing, adding lines at levels you want to be alerted for, etc.
Also I find the food database quite limited. I’ve given up trying to enter my macros accurately because I end up having to create every item manually.
Please add modifiable alarms
It would be incredibly helpful to add modifiable alarms. By modifiable I mean that we can set the blood sugar low and high numbers to alarm when the meter meets those parameters. I have found that changing my diet to a low carb type is throwing my blood sugars low down into the 20-30 range in my sleep, enacting the Symogi syndrome. But I only realize this in the morning when I wake up. I also would love to be able to know when my blood sugar jumps, some foods that I think are “good” are not healthy for my blood sugars. I only realize this later, if I am looking.
Good, could be a lot better
What would improve this app tremendously was if it synced with MyFitnessPal for better database and the ease to change amount measurements.
Spikes and lows
The app/CGM help me see my spikes and lows so I know when to balance my sugar out. Only thing I don’t like is, if a sensor or two comes off early you don’t have extras.
Wish I’d done it sooner
They use the “best” CGM (Dexcom G7) and were the cheapest option for a non-diabetic, making them simultaneously the cheapest and highest quality option. (They are only the cheapest if you do a 6 month run)
No complaints with the app, hope that they stick around because they provide a lot of value
Love it -game changer
Very helpful to see what spikes my blood sugar and how to keep my insulin from spiking. I’ve lost 10 lbs in a month—I’ve never had that level of success!
