Important/useful information about xDrip4iOS

[LvH]

Hi,

Some information about xDrip4iOS:
xDrip4iOS is an iPhone application that allows you to read your Dexcom or FreeStyle Libre sensor, in the latter case it will convert it to a full-fledged rt-CGM. xDrip4iOS offers highly customizable alarms, Nightscout integrations and can feed data to apps such as iAPS and Loop if necessary.

xDrip4iOS is an app that you have to build yourself, either through XCode or using the "browser build" (fastlane) method. It is also distributed by people leveraging TestFlight, links to which you might find from time to time on Facebook. However, it is also available in the App Store under the name "Shuggah". Shuggah uses the xDrip4iOS's source code nearly 1:1, however: the maintainers of it are making more and more (questionable) changes to it. Please note that the xDrip4iOS development team is not involved with Shuggah. Also note that "Shuggah" cannot be used as a source for iAPS and Loop.

xDrip4iOS is compatible with and can directly communicate with Dexcom G6 (including Anubis), Dexcom ONE and FreeStyle Libre 2. (However, in the case of the FSL2 it is only compatible with the EU-variant as the US/CA/AUS one use encryption that hasn't been cracked. Using a MiaoMiao/Bubble won't make it compatible either.). The FreeStyle Libre 1/US 10-day is also compatible, but only with the use of a MiaoMiao or Bubble. xDrip4iOS allows for calibrations (native mode for Dexcom, and for FSL it allows Libre Algorithm, xDrip algorithm or Multi-Point/non-fixed slope algorithm.)
