So I decided to switch back to xdrip+ for a few different reasons.
Going back many months ago I used the xdrip+ app because Dexcom and FDA were taking 8 million years to get the Android Dexcom app approved. I liked the app back then but I switched to the Dexcom app when it came out.
Now this month I redownloaded the xdrip+ app and got it up and running, it was pretty easy since I knew my way around the app.
I decided to take the leap to xdrip+ again because I was tired of messing around with restarts and because I was really really missing my Pebble watch that died. All the current Android watches are just way too flipping BIG! So on Black Friday I got a Fitbit Versa, which was also what I asked my husband to get me for my birthday. I just wanted to wait for Black Friday prices.
So I got the app all loaded up and running and got the Glance watchface downloaded and running and I was happy as a clam! I love my watch and I love the app. I really love having my bgs on my wrist!
Xdrip+ is far superior in my opinion. You can input your carb ratios and all the stuff you have set up on your pump into xdrip+ and if you utilize it, it will predict what your blood sugar will do or how many carbs you need to eat to cover a low. It is insane! I LOVE IT!
Then, last Sunday while out to lunch I looked at my pump. It had the start up dexcom graph on it! I freaked out momentarily and then looked at xdrip+ and it said please wait sensor warming up or whatever it says. I had clicked the setting to not let my sensors expire and it freaking worked!!! Omg I almost jumped out of my seat for joy! My pump just followed right along and my session started up just like a new one on my pump, I didnt have to do ONE DARN THING!!! AHHHHMAAAAAZING!! It was awesome!
I like the Versa watch a lot and I do like its features to help me stay on track health wise. I also LOVE how small it is.

I do not own an Apple phone so I am unable to assist with that app.
So far Im not regretting switching again and my followers can still follow me with xdrip+.
I hope this has helped some of you on the fence about switching apps. Keep on beating the Diabeast back!
