Excellent!

I had three peers in my entire engineering classes like that. Two became PhDs, one has changed fields and applied himself rapidly.

I wasn't like them, but that ability to understand on a fundamental level, not forget, and then very quickly tackle more and more complex problems so fast was like a superpower. It took me much much longer, without the detailed understanding.

No, most IoT devices in most applications are dramatically underpowered for 5G.

And non-Japanese. I went, it was magic :)

Sure do. But yeah, no sharing. Never.

Forgive me; isn't Lasik all via laser though?

Isn't this more like - you share binoculars with someone and your eye fluids mix (if you both push them too close)?

The steps of fixing your eyeballs in place and peeling back the cut-out flap require physical contact with tools.

But those are all tools that interface with the anterior cornea part of the eye.

Is it correct to assume that the type of contact that would be a risk in this case, is with posterior vitreo retinal surgery where you might have contact with the optical nerve tissue?

Ok thank you, I didn't know.

I wear a FreeStyle Libre every day, AMA. It's very good for T1s, of course.

It's reliable enough - the biggest downfall is that it's around 15 minutes behind real-time, ie, what you can measure with blood. Sometimes it can feel 'stuck' too, and change rapidly between a short amount of time.

The second model, which I am waiting to try, includes Bluetooth alerts if a trend high or low is detected. This may make it even more useful.

What do you mean by 'second model'? Like a new version of the FreeStyle Libre?

I just got my first CGM, FreeStyle Libre 14 day, 2 days ago :) The relief I've already experienced from not having anxiety about where my blood sugar is at has been incredible. That said, being able to set alerts for lows/highs and not having to manually scan the sensor would be huge improvements.

The way I was checking blood sugar before (finger pricks) it seemed like I'd gain relatively little by using a pump, but now I'm thinking a pump may be indispensable if used in combination with a CGM: Since I can now see how my blood sugar is changing in near real-time, if I have errors in dose size, I'm going to want to be able to make small correction...

Yes, v2 is coming soon or is now out :)

Drink water if it feels to be stuck. Usually a symptom of dehydration.

Alrighty, thanks!

I’ve been using my Libre with Miao Miao, Spike and Nightscout for getting a real time feed for a while now. It took some time to get a feel for how the sensors behave, but I’m happy with the setup - it’s certainly good enough for my goals.

I really like the real time data aspect which means I can access it easily on other devices.

I also still regularly use the official phone app to get a reading via NFC which suits certain circumstances for me and I find pretty accurate most of the time.
