Blucon, Real -time sensor for free and Android

A video of how the blucon is going in a real way, it would not be bad

A few days ago I asked for my bluon waiting for these new promising continuous measurement systems.I am very happy to see all the advances that are being made with the subject, however I hope that this does not yet delay the investigations for a cure, since it is very tempting for the pharmaceuticals that we become Cyborgs XD

good, forgive me but it is not clear to me.
I have looked at the link you have put and effectively it is the company that sells this article, but it is from the USA.
Do you know if it is sold in Spain and where to get all the information about this system?
I am currently using Dexcom, I like the system a lot but it is very expensive and on top of the technical service I do not like anything (they only put facilities to pay).
Is there anyone who tasted the blucon?
I have asked for information on this page to see what they tell me, with what they answer I will tell you.
Do you know if the blucon has alarms like Dexcom?
Again thanks to all you because in this forum you have always helped me and helps to take diabetes better.
Thank you.

Are you talking badly about the Dexcom's technical service, what happened to you?

Hello good.

I was looking/reading in the Facebook group and seeing that with the Blucon and the XDrip app I could ride a CGM even with the possibility of using a watch with Android Wear to see the glycemia in my wrist, I have encouraged myself to buy the nightrider.I have been using freestyle for a few months and I am happy (despite some point "thing", in general the performance is satisfactory).

The fact is that I bought it on November 8, we are at 21, and well, loaded at the bank is, but no news of when it will arrive.I have written to you by email and by Facebook (Ambrosia Systems that are those of Blucon) but I still have no response.From what I have read on the Twitter account, it seems that the thing "goes calm."Come on, people who had bought it and had been waiting as a couple of months.

When I get (if it comes to me ... I don't know what to think) I'll tell you.Greetings!

@"Maravich" I have also been reading in English forums that with freestyle, blucon and xDrip on mobileTo buy it but as I read that on the website of Ambrosia there were many delays with the shipments, investigating a little in the forums I have bought it on eBay of a supplier of medical products of the USA, in principle it makes me an estimated date of delivery on 27 ofDecember, that is, 1 month.With whatever we will update the information.-

Hitting a look on an eBay I have already seen that there was.Notice that I usually look at Amazon and almost any story, but I didn't think about it.The other day in the Facebook group people commented that some purchases (we are talking about the beginning of November) were starting to move.I suppose that once I get to the American postal service the thing will go somewhat faster.

Anyway now I almost worried that Abbot sells "free" than the arrival of blucon.I bought a four -sensor pack on this month and I still have no idea what happened to them (if they are going to send them, if they are not going to send them ... at least they have not charged them).

With anything, as you say, we will inform.Greetings!

P.S.I think you will almost mount the Blucon system as a CGM before me, hehehe.

I have not been going through the forum @"Víctor Gómez" but your information is very useful.My idea was to use Glimp that in principle has the option of having connected wireless NFC devices if I'm not mistaken.I am also planning a Sony Smartwatch to have controlled the agenda while training.I will go through the Glucoangel post to see what they say, greetings!

As I read at the Glimp app on Google Market, you can also connect with Blucon via Bluetooth, not just NFC.
I am valuing the purchase of Freestyle + Blucon + possibly Smartwatch Sony 3 Swr, since I also make road bike and it is a mess for to measure yourself.My mobile phone has no NFC and that solution seems great to me by the alerts to the mobile or the smartphone.The Glimp also shares gross data with Dropbox, so you can share it with your partner for greater peaceyears and now with 42 I recommend it).

Those who have asked Blucon, any update on shipping and how is it going?Where have you bought the band?There is for the Nightrider this German website that sells it for about 20eur

No doubt a discovery thanks to this forum.Thank you!

@"mloureiro" @"Maravich" today the blucon has arrived, I asked for it on November 29 so it has arrived from the USA in less than what the free sensor is sent from here, I asked for it on eBay and that's whyI am surprised that asking the company directly is taking so long.

I just started in the afternoon and although it has cost me a bit to match it with XDrip in the end it seems that it works and it is already giving me readings as a continuous meter every 5 minutes and the truth is that after the initial calibration the results are perfect and asYou can see them at a Sony Smartwatch that I am also testing, I even think the clock reads the blucon directly without going through the phone, in the end that is my first day and I am learning little by little.-

I do not know what the pot will last taking into account that it cannot be wet and although I carry it covered with Kinesiotope I see it an inconvenience;Another drawback is the slot to change the battery, I have done it with a 5 cents coin but it is seen that in not much time the slot will gain clearance and will be complicated to open the lid because it is quite hard;And the last but I see him is the Bluetooth reset that how to reset and carry it covered, complicated to hit the little hole.-
The size compared to the free sensor is noticeable, in the end it is like carrying one sensor on top of the other but as I imagine it will be used.

We will continue informing.-

Hello everyone.I would like to know if Sony's smartwatch that you use is some specific version, I'm looking to make the Magi Letter to see if I fall a blucon+smartwatch xD

Well, I don't know, I have taken it on eBay on a German page, it is the Sony Smartwatch 3, I think there is only 1 version, the only thing that differs is the firmware update that I think with the 1st version read the NFC directly from theFree but if you update the latest versions no longer.-

Yesterday, disrupting in XDrip, I got the clock directly read the blucon without having a mobile, a breakthrough !!!, to see what the blucon lasts.-

That would be ideal, I am trying to inform myself and I have read that it is also necessarymobile) and if you have a clock, you see it there.
Another doubt that I have is whether the data is similar to those of the Freestyle reader, because I have seen somewhere someone who showed their data and were very different ... I feel heavy is that I do not find much info ..

But do you know what lasts ???because if it costs 130 euros and lasts 15 days ......

There are two pots, one that lasts 14 days, is stuck and is of a single use that costs 50 euros or so, and another that can change the battery and "placed on top" and you have to hold it with something, that is reusable andIt costs 110 plus shipping costs.

Another doubt that I have is if the data is similar to those of the Freestyle reader, because I have seen somewhere someone who showed their data and were very different ... I feel heavy is that I do not find much info ..

I am using XDrip on the mobile and on the clock and I am not registered in Nightscout or anything, I imagine you will have to register if you want another person to receive the data on your mobile.-

As for the data, I do very well because XDrip gives you the option to put the capillaries to calibrate, in fact, if it detects that the values ​​are very different asks for a calibration: with the free sensor if it gets goodIt is going very well but as you get through you, you know what there is.- I've only been 3 days but it has a lot of options that I am discovering little by little.-

What I do not know is what can last the battery with the blucon to change it because I carry it covered with kinesiotope and it would be a task that was spent in the middle of the useful life of the sensor although XDrip also indicates the battery and estimated duration of the estimated duration of theBLUCON.-

Thank you very much @Sigsauer!I just ordered, I'm looking forward to trying it !!
If the battery is spent, could you remove it and change it?or with the kinesiotope you take the sensor ahead .... my initial intention is to take it only to sleep, do sports, or be at home with some loose dressing although surely I get hooked to McG and I end up taking it at all hours xD

@"Erpla" If I finish my stack I imagine that I would have to do a bit of a bricolage with a blade to remove the blucon, place it again and cover it.- If you are only going to use it for sport, sleep or in specific moments with aBrazalete I think I would be worth it, telling you to always carry it on your arm, of course, I change each sensor from arm to arm, gut, buttock, I never repeat.
