Opinion about free freestyle 3

This morning I have put a free 3 and I have to say that it is very small compared to 2. I think it will be impossible for me to get hooked with clothes as it happened to me with the last two free 2.
They have also simplified the applicator to place the sensor.
At the moment, these are the two aspects that I value more positively.
The one that free 3 is now an MCG to me does not surprise me because with free 2, when using the Diabox app, I could see my glycemia values, without having to scan the sensor, on the phone lock screen.By the way, with the free 3 app, I have to open the application if I want to know how I am.
I do not want to spread explaining other positive aspects of Diabox, just saying that the app of free 3 looks a lot like that of free 2 and that Diabox surpasses them both.
It is a pity that Abbott has not done better.

A question, and with a widget you can't see glucose directly?

Have the alarms improved?When I tried it, the tones could not be changed, and the one that came was super strident.

@isabelBota: Free 3 does not have widget and the issue of alarms can only tell you that they sound very strong, but for now I have not "investigated" more 🤷‍♀️

Already, I put the thread that I wrote about it and you tell me if it has improved some of the failures I had.

Hello everyone.

I have caught a couple of them to try ... My biggest concern right now is whether there will be no conflict between the meter bluetooth and the car (I don't have any other device linked to the phone more than hands -free of the car)

Diagnosticada de DM en enero de 2019, con tres generaciones (yo sería la cuarta) de diabéticos tipo 1 en la familia
En principio DM2 por resistencia a la insulina asociada a SOP (sin tener en cuenta los antecedentes familiares)
De momento, solo con Forxiga por la mañana y oxempic 0,5 una vez a la semana (a ver si lo tolero mejor que el rybelsus, de momento parece que sí...)
La glucosa hace lo que le da la gana
Ultimas Hemos: 7,2 (26/12/2023); 6,7 (12/2/2023, al mes de empezar con Rybelsus 3mg)
Última hemo: 5,8 (2/7/2025)
