Ratings and reviews

Previously I wrote a review about how it wasn't working on my phone after claiming it would. I'd like to now update that to say that it connects to my phone! ...for about 5 minutes, then it disconnects and doesn't want to reconnect and when it finally reconnects it once again disconnects after 5-6 minutes. This is getting ridiculous, I wear Dexcom's so I don't have to poke myself a million times a day. Now, I'm stuck doing that with a useless Dexcom in my arm! What's the point of these things!?

The connection with the monitor is very very spotty after the first week or so with a new sensor. it seems to lose Bluetooth connection more when laying down with the sensor, or when in a warm environment. I sleep hot so it's practically not on all night and wakes me up very often, or dies during the night and I need to wake up at 3am to swap it. very annoying. when it works it works, but I've had the same sensor disconnect 20-30 times a day for weeks.

so far, it's a bit better than the last time I've used one of the previous models from a couple years ago. however, I believe we should have more than one alert to better manage levels. for example, at least two warning alerts before going too low, (1, 89, 2, 80, low 69) two warning alerts before going too high, (1, 160, 2, 180, high, 200) and an alert letting us know our numbers are stable, (100-145). An option for us to upload our own sound effects from our notification tones could also help.
