It successfully scanned it anyway. I also found out that the phone app automatically uploads data to the Libreview web based software that allows me to compile different reports from the data accumulated. It also merges data from multiple sources. I looked at my account and saw data from both. The reader must be plugged in and upload performed through the software in order to migrate data to the computer for reports. I think I may just start using the phone and bypass the minor hassle of uploading from the reader. The graph that displays immediately after a scan is much more readable than the tiny, low rez one on the reader. The post scan graph is for 8 hours. The report generated graphs are 24 hours, so everything is compressed, and harder to read individual points accurately. Again, much better info that the 2 or 3 test strip readings each day. I will probably just take the cell phone to her next doctor visit and let the dr view whatever reports she wants to look at. I'm sure I can give permission to the account to have the doctor directly view data in the Libreview account. This system also frees me from having to write down the time, date, and glucose reading after each test, like I was having to do with the test strips. The software also allows input of things like meals, insulin etc to provide a more complete picture.In my book it is well worth the extra money I have to pay for the sensors vs test strips. I had heard about the Dexcom system, but had no idea it was that much more expensive, as Fred pointed out.</blockquote>
