Hi,

From the research I have done, most people think this one is excelent the
most accurate CGM. I have heard that the app is mostly accessible and you are able to rad the last test result.

Unfortunately, no CGM's are covered here and Dexcom is a bit too pricy for me at around $800 every three months. I am currently using the Freestyle Libre which is just over half the cost of the Dexcom.

Cheers,
Brett.

Here's that glucose level app I was talking about:
Dex Com. I've just found out as of right now, it is medicare approved.
Meaning Medicare will pay for part, or all of the price of the device.
I don't know how good the app is, butSay no to low blood sugar!

Hi,

Accu-chek Aviva is a Bluetooth Meyer You need sighted help to set it up as you have to enter the code displayed on the metre.The app, while not perfect, it is accessible enough to see your latest reading.

Cheers,
Brett.

Hi Anthony,
Well interesting enough, I am now an official "Non Practicing
Diabetic"! I received a kidney/pancreas transplant back in 2008. The
kidney was doomed from the get go, but the pancreas is still rocking
strong! My A1C's come in at 4.9 or so.

Anyways; I just went to the Qardio website and unfortunately, they do
not make a blood glucose monitor. Bummer, right?
I know they do make blood sugar monitors that are Bluetooth/wireless
and run through an app. But damn! They are pricey indeed!
I have a blind lady friend, who went blind due to diabetic
retinopathy, that was researching for a smart phone blood sugar
machine. She told me about a really accessible one that was a pretty
good unit. I forgot the name, but she had to call the company to see
if her Medicare/Medicaid would cover the cost of the unit. As of this
point, it wouldn't. But they said they were working on it and it was hopeful.

One thing about this unit, you can add contacts to be notified if your
blood sugar drops down to a pre set level. Now that's cool! I
remember, and tremble when I do, back when I'd be standing in line
with a friend. Then pass right out from low blood sugar. I was brittle
enough that I didn't feel it coming. Just standing there talking with
my friend and next thing I know, there's a paramedic asking me what year it is and who's the president!
Does that  bring back any memories to any of you out there? I feel for you all!

Does this app offer any kind of glucose monitor?

Hi everyone and good morning!
I've been wanting to comment on this post, but I've only had my
trusty IPhone SE with me, and I suck with dictation and having a
reply say what I actually want it to say! One of these days I'll bear
down and learn my Zag fold up Bluetooth keyboard, but I'd rather put that off for now! LOL!

Anyways, I've purchased the Qardio Arm Blood Pressure Machine. This
thing works absolutely hands down fantastic, same for the app too!
So I've also been researching for a Bluetooth weight scale too. As I
wanted both the BP machine and the scale to work together on the same
app, AKA from the same company. This is why I went with Qardio for
both. I'm buying the Qardio Base; weight scale, at the end of the month.

So they call this scale  the Qardio Base. Which gives the person
their body weight, their body mass index along with various other measurements.
The one thing I'm very interested in and plan on using every day, is
the scale's fluid weight. As I'm back on dialysis, after having a
transplanted kidney for 8 years, and knowing exactly how much fluid
I've gained in between treatments, would help me out immensely! Now I
know it'll take me a bit of time to get the fluid weight deal down
pat, but I think I'll get it and knowing this number will be quite
good for me, and let me know exactly what I can get away with in-between dialysis treatments.

I can also tell you without a doubt, that the Qardio app, and you can
use this one app to work all of the Cardio health devices, is
completely accessible for Voice Over! It will work in conjunction
with your IPhone's Health App, meaning when you take a BP
measurement, or you weigh yourself, your reading automatically goes
straight into your Health App too. So you've got your readings in
both the Health App and the Qardio App. Plus through the Qardio app,
you can email your history of readings to your doctor! Now that's big!

I use my Qardio Arm, BP Machine, at least twice a day, and often
times more. It's quick and easy to keep tabs on the body for sure and
now, there ain't no excuse not to!
BTW: Cardio is spelled
Q A R D I O

Ain't it amazing, the older you get, the more medical crap you end up knowing!
And that's huge, having gone through some bigtime surgeries and all
that myself, if you can't strongly advocate for yourself while in the
hospital, you end up waking up dead!


These are my last few words......Later!

My Aria always weighs the same no matter how many times you get on.

Take care,

I have the Beets scale but it doesn't always weigh consistently with
itself. If your feet are even slightly off, it will be. I wonder if
the Quardio scale is any more forgiving than the beets? The Beets
does have very pronounced laces for your feet, it's just that I don't
always hit them perfectly before it takes a reading. That may be true on all of them though.

I like devices which have Apple Homekit support and therefore I

I have been using the fit bit aria scale for years and really love it.
I think it's about $130 on Amazon. Take care, Lois

Hello,

Has anyone found a reliable digital scale that interfaces with the
iPhone, preferably one that also measures BMI or percentage of body
fat? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
