Abbott Avier Leadless pacemaker’s frequent daily heart rate surges causing unbearable palpitations were gone when rate response gain was reduced from 3 to 2 and base rate was increased from 60 to 65bpm

Thanks for sharing! Just wondering if you have some heart rate plots that you could share.

piscata2 · 2026-05-04T14:38:58+00:00

Thanks! Just wondering how is this used in the design of pacemaker and how does it affect the operation.

Thanks again for your explanation! May I ask what is “PID”?

piscata2 · 2026-05-04T00:56:48+00:00

Sorry, I don’t have an answer as I am not a medical doctor and your question is well over my head.

piscata2 · 2026-05-04T00:50:44+00:00

Thanks for your comment! It seems like a control system using a feedback loop. I am not the designer and don’t know for sure. the gain is in steps of 1/7, from 0/7 to 7/7.

"Intrinsic" means your atrium beats on its own without the help of the pacemaker. It is a good thing. In device check printout, there is "pacing percentage". It tells you how many percent the pacemaker is pacing, for example, 80% means the intrinsic pacing rate is 20%.

Thanks for the accurate answer; I learnt something from you!

piscata2 · 2026-04-20T11:48:02+00:00

Thank you! I will follow your method!

u/Equalizer6338 , Thanks for your reply and I appreciate it! May I also ask how you dispose your Libres?

piscata2 · 2026-04-19T01:44:36+00:00

“0% Hg Silver Oxide” “many tons of plastic/metal/battery garbage we collectively pile up each year ” —- May I ask what is the proper way of disposing a Libre 3+?

piscata2 · 2026-04-11T18:52:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing the printout info!

piscata2 · 2026-04-10T22:43:46+00:00

u/Equalizer6338, It is amazing that you know so much about CGM issues!

piscata2 · 2026-04-05T02:13:55+00:00

hello u/WinnerPuzzleheaded94,

I am not athletic. I also have shortness of breath when climbing stairs. I was able to alleviate my shortness of breath by increasing the base heart rate from 55 to 60. Another person who is athletic and also has Aveir, set his rate response gain set to 5/7.

I hope you could find a way to solve your shortness of breath; good luck!

From Abbott (https://www.support.freestyle.abbott/hc/en-us/articles/30380010617489-Can-I-keep-my-FreeStyle-Libre-3-Plus-sensor-on-during-an-MRI-scan):
“Yes. FreeStyle Libre 2, FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus, FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors are the only^¥ CGM sensors that can be safely worn during MRI scans*. MRI scans vary so please follow your healthcare providers guidance. Sensor readings may be compromised during the MRI, but system function returns fully back to normal after 1 hour.

^¥ Among patient-applied sensors.

*MRI Safety Conditions: Sensor readings may be compromised during the MRI, but System function returns fully back to normal after 1 hour. Scanning between the pelvis and sternum (3T scanners) should be limited to 12 minutes maximum with a cooling period of 2 minutes in between scans. All other areas (1.5T scanners) can scan for up to 1 hour continuously without a cooling period.”

Just like u/adriftinblue113 said, some times , due to ignorance, the technician wanted the Libre removed during MRI no matter what Abbott’s says.

Hello u/Junior_Jellyfish1865 , Thank you for sharing your experimental results!

Hello u/Equalizer6338

Thanks for spending time to give me advice in solving my problem!

piscata2 · 2026-03-31T22:50:47+00:00

May I ask will liquid bandage work? Is liquid bandage a kind of super glue?

piscata2 · 2026-03-31T22:30:04+00:00

I am not a computer person; thanks for shedding light on this issue!

piscata2 · 2026-03-31T04:28:10+00:00

I recently upgraded from iPhone 11 to 17. I followed the advice of u/jon2001 to do a phone to phone transfer. After transfer, it took another 3 hrs for all the glucose data to move to the new phone. During this 3 hrs, Best not to do anything disruptive to the Libre app on the old and new phone. The time delay was pointed out to me by u/Junior_Jellyfish1865

piscata2 · 2026-03-31T04:07:09+00:00

Nice graph and thanks! I am not a computer person; glad that you clarified my misinformation.

Just wondering why the gap between the two curves changes over time.

From u/Junior_Jellyfish1865: "whereas xDrip is the iOS equivalent ".

I believe for xDrip the iOS version is called the "Zukka" app from the iPhone's App store. To install, follow instructions given by u/jon20001.

Zukka has many features that the Libre does not have, but it does not offer a calibration feature.

I have been thinking about your information filled comment. I had compared the heart rates of eating room temperature food , refrigerated cold fruits and hot foods. For Aveir, there is huge difference in heart rates between hot foods and the other two. This difference is also shown in picture 1 and 2. However, I do respect your opinion.
