    The only good thing about Livongo is free test strips and lancets. The meter is supposed to connect with Teledoc using Tmobile. I can see a cell tower from my house, but meter has NEVER yet connected. The Iphone app is garbage and meter does not blutooth with phone.

    Nice video, I use the Libre sensor with Blucon and love them for tracking my blood glucose values. The alarms are nice and loud enough to wake me up. You can adjust your GS ranges to whatever you want. The best part about blucon is that it updates the glucose readings on the phone and watch without scanning the sensor or pricking your finger.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. Beware of Livongo. One day this meter appeared with no explanation and my birthday present this year was a no connection message and a number to call. I called the number and the woman said she would look into it and get back to me. She never did. Now I have this crappy meter that takes a lot of blood to fill a strip, if the strip will absorb at all, and I have no way to recover my readings from the meter except to scroll through it and write them down, one-by-one. Thanks, Livongo, you scumbags!

    Its not free, they are data mining and probably asked you many confidential medical questions. How do you know this company will keep your information secure since they are not part of the medical chain to be held accountable. They will probably track your readings and determine how to use that in the long run. Lot to give up to save a few bucks.
