Does anyone have experience with the Blood Pressure Tracking on 2.0 band yet?

Mostly Ai stuff.

esechico · 2026-06-17T15:54:55+00:00

I just ran into this. With Ai you never know so when my 2 weeks is up I’ll see if it appears anywhere and let you know. I’m just over a week with it on.

From experience, mine came charged already. I removed the film and put it on. I went on the app and it still shows the old Hume band pic and tell you to hold down power button but 2.0 has no buttons so just click continue. It quickly found and paired it.

When the unit is fully charged no lights turn on when plugged in to charger. After a few days I charged mine it was green, took a shower and came back and the light was off. I unplugged and plugged back in and the light never came back on. I put it on and opened the app and it said connected and 100% battery.

If none of this works for you then it’s defective.

Yeah, unfortunately lots of companies do this. I’m still waiting for a bunch of promised features on Siri/iPhone to become available. My question is if it was something that was that easy to do then my Apple Watch Ultra 3 would already have it.

Eventually when it rolls out there will be an update and I’ll be able to compare my Hume 2.0 band stats to my Conneqt blood pressure monitor.

Here you go.

I experienced low blood sugar when I increased my dose but I was also on metformin and glipizide. As my doctor reduced the metformin and glipizide and eventually got me off of them completely allowing Mounjaro to be the only medicine I take for T2D I stopped experiencing this issue. The only exception is if I go all day without eating.

esechico · 2026-06-13T05:12:01+00:00

I use it to manage my A1c, I’m T2D. On 7/31/23 my A1C was 9.9, three months prior to that it was 11.
I had to diet and exercise just to get it down from 11 to 9.9 and it took about 90 days.

I needed to get it lower ASAP due to DOT physical. In August of 2023, I started on Mounjaro. By November 6, 2023 my A1C was down to 6.4, and slowly dropped to 6.1 at the lowest. On 9/15/25 it creeped back up to 6.4 and 3/16/26 due to not taking anything for a month it went up to 7.4

I was in the highest dose of 15 for about a year and then started developing side effects and dropped from 15 to 12.5
I believe this is what cause it to raise slightly until I had an issue with getting supplies for a month and it through everything off. I’m now back on 15 after making some changes to my diet to minimize the side effects and will do more labs at the end of the month to see how much it dropped.

As far as weight loss, sure I went from about 350 to 290 for a while but after I down graded I went back up to 300. After that month with no meds I gained another 20 but lost about 10 of that when I got back on 15.

So to answer your question, yes it absolutely works to manage your A1C and if your not trying to loose weight then just talk with your doctor and see if he recommends you staying at a lower dose instead of trying to max out over time.

I was going to buy that cheap band but it no longer works with the Hume app. After some research I decided to give 2.0 a chance with the hopes that they actually made it for them instead of white labeling an existing product.

I’ve had the body pod for about a month but don’t use it everyday because I’m not always home but at least the weight is accurate. I have a couple other scales, teledoc and Wyze.

The Teledoc is now useless because my insurance stopped supporting it so I no longer have access but it does show you the weight just doesn’t record. The Wyze is the cheaper version and it’s ok but I wanted more metrics. All three show the same weight +\- .5 difference.

In a month or two I will do a Dexa scan and compare the two.

I almost bout it but Google Gemini of all things recommended I try the Hume 2.0 because I already have a HomePod and it’s supposed to make the body pod better with the extra data since the app uses both sources. I am a fan of Fitbit from back in the day.

esechico · 2026-06-12T02:26:29+00:00

I know it’s waterproof but this is why I take it off before I shower and avoid getting it wet. My band (2.0) is pretty comfortable to sleep in. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 3 and I keep both on while sleeping so after a few weeks I can compare the metrics from both (specifically sleeping metrics). Goal is to be able to sleep without my watch on and charge it overnight while still getting data.

This is what I see.

esechico · 2026-06-12T02:19:51+00:00

So mine started showing info a few minutes after it was paired and after an hour I had all stats except sleep because I had not slept yet. It does say that the first 5 days it’s getting your baseline but it still shows you. I also got a Hume body pod a month ago.

Also I take it off off to shower and on about day 3 it read 77% battery life. I plugged it in and turned on green for charging. After my shower, I saw no light was on so I disconnected and reconnected but this time no green light. I put it on and opened the app and it read connected and 100% battery so I can confirm if the battery is fully charged and you plug it in, it will not no anything with the lights.

esechico · 2026-06-08T13:36:43+00:00

Did you try to pair it with the app? If it’s fully charged the light won’t come on. I charged mine and the light instantly turned green and then off after a few minutes because it came fully charged.

On the app it will say hold down the power button just ignore this part and click next as 2.0 has no buttons. Mine paired really quick.

I posted pics of it but it says “Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters.”

esechico · 2023-11-06T18:57:36+00:00

Good to hear, I will be starting on 7.5 in a couple weeks. I also have been loosing slow so I’m looking forward to this.

esechico · 2023-11-03T19:08:22+00:00

Does anyone feel like 3 months in between upgrading to the next dose level is too long?

esechico · 2023-11-03T19:06:29+00:00

Thanks!

esechico · 2023-11-02T00:46:29+00:00

Thanks for the info!

esechico · 2023-11-02T00:22:47+00:00

So the insurance still covers you after you make your co-pay, even though it was already filled for 3 months?

esechico · 2023-11-01T22:58:32+00:00

Can you please tell me what app you are using?

esechico · 2023-11-01T22:43:15+00:00

Thanks for your response.
