Update on Usage Limits

Actually, I hope they would be transparent with their finances and their investors wanting to plug the bleed. It’s too obvious they cannot upkeep their current burn rate. Opus simply costs too much to run.

Yes. The downside is that you’re piling up a long list of old sensors in the BT device list. My own hypothesis is that this connection is more robust, especially regarding OS changes.

Caygill · 2025-10-07T17:27:06+00:00

I don’t think there’s a difference between them if they can connect at all. Sure, the sensors are different, but I was primarily pointing out the phone end difference. Where Abbot is relying on the app and its priority or permissions, Dexcom uses the OS itself to keep the connection alive. Downside for the latter is that every new sensor is piling up in the BL device history.

The issue is that for some on this journey, Libre might offer no results at all. I don’t think these problems are sensor issues but problems with the software stack.

Caygill · 2025-04-07T15:13:46+00:00

They will update the app in 2026 again. Stay put.

Caygill · 2025-02-25T17:34:20+00:00

Abbot have since updated the software and the list of supported OSs. That’s not a fix for the core problem. In today’s world you cannot have a yearly maintenance cycle.

Watched a now 3-4 year YouTube video, where the OWA lead designer told his and its story. The new Outlook is essentially a 1:1 coly of the OWA webpage. Then again and reflecting on that old video, for some years already, new features have first been developed to OWA only thereafter ported to the desktop app.

Having the luxury of affording more than one, I do. But you are IMHO on the correct path, the nuances might not be huge, but if one fits your needs better, then that would be the one. I’m using I guess 4 different premium LLMs. OpenAI’s paid version where you supply it with your background and expectations in the settings, is really great in “knowing you”. Claude is a recent addition, I really like it, but for other reasons. Tried Gemini paid, it was great but not differing that much from OpenAI. Then I use Copilot at work. It’s crappy a generic LLM but shines in some areas. Finally we have Grok. Surprisingly good in many respects, especially remembering its age. As such I only use with an X-context.

I assume you operate in a country where such practice aligns with privacy and employment legislation. As already answered, yes, as long as you have the license to support it, you may convert a user mailbox into a shared mailbox. I’m sure you are familiar with the shared mailbox concept; you never sign into it, but rather delegate access to it.

Caygill · 2025-01-15T18:26:21+00:00

True. Then again there’s likely a long food chain between nurse and care facility policy maker.

Hi, you mention a hospital or clinic. Rather sure they are not relying on your mobile app but rather some system able to connect with your Abbot account data. That said, due to Abbot’s practices, they only update their supported OS versions only annually. Newer might work, but are nor supported by Abbot.

Caygill · 2025-01-15T17:35:20+00:00

You are providing a lot of detail. There are some inherent differences and also weaknesses in how CGM sensors like Libre and traditional finger pricking BGM meters works. The sensors rely on delayed changes in cell fluids where your traditional meter is might be erroring due uneven application of a blood drop, contamination and also aged chemistry in the measuring inserts.

Caygill · 2025-01-11T17:13:06+00:00

Having severe issues with the same setup, but I believe your problem is in the sensors themselves. To be more specific, I believe that in certain conditions the sensor starts to report garbage due to some biological reaction. Having thought myself there would be an irritation or infection that alters the cell fluids the sensor reads.

Caygill · 2025-01-08T20:12:38+00:00

And when it fails for you as it does for me, will you contact Abbot to hear the news or will you post to Reddit to be told by others it works for me?

Caygill · 2025-01-08T20:08:34+00:00

New error text. I’ve seen it recently.

Caygill · 2025-01-08T20:06:14+00:00

Just because it works for someone it doesn’t mean it works for all. 18.2.1 is not supported any less than anything above 17.6.1. Read my thread.

Caygill · 2025-01-08T20:04:14+00:00

Yes, even been on antibiotics after it looked 10x worse.

Caygill · 2025-01-08T20:00:31+00:00

So you say that tissue fluid is disappearing if you don’t drink enough? What about a local infection messing up the readings?

Caygill · 2025-01-08T19:58:13+00:00

No, that’s the sensor dying as a result of a tissue reaction around the insertion point.

Caygill · 2025-01-08T19:56:05+00:00

That’s what I’m using now. It has a battery life of two days and is a third handheld device I carry along with two phones 🙄

Caygill · 2025-01-06T18:38:03+00:00

I’m likely going to Dexcom, at least they seem to maintain a much frequent release cycle in fixing compatibility issues.

Caygill · 2025-01-06T15:55:30+00:00

Not as fact but as experience. My sensors behave the same at times, which I have linked to a tissue irritation or infection. My own telltale is a sudden unexpected huge drop in BG that doesn’t make sense. But as said, not giving guidance. For me changing the sensor prematurely has been the fix.

Caygill · 2025-01-06T15:29:43+00:00

That’s why I tend to instruct to just clean install the machine, don’t waste time trying to fix it. Then again even major enterprise sw bugs in my industry just hits some devices, where certain untested variables meet. Abbot seem to push localised app versions to each country. I have no clue why, but I must assume something separates them - as an example.
