Anyone Had Experiance With The AiDEX CGM Continuous Glucose Monitoring System?
My Son has moved from the FibreLifestyle to the AiDEX system this week,
We found that the readings where very off compared to the blood tests,
bloods reported 17mmol, Aidex reported 7,8 mmol.
Wanted to know if anyone else is on this system and experiences so far?
We did trigger a recalibration yesterday and will report on whether this is now closer to the bloods.
