Xdrip+ options and functionality

Diabetes Technology

Hi,

So I just started using Xdrip+ on my Android phone with my Dexcom G5. I was wondering if any of you folks who have been using the app for a while have any advice to improve the experience. The documentation I’ve seen online is very limited or I’m just not finding it. A few questions:

  1. Is there a way to change how insulin on board is calculated? The default I believe is 3 hrs. I know that’s not how it works for me. There is an option under Settings>Xdrip Pred Simulation>Low Level pred values. But that is only for low level prediction. It doesn’t seem to affect display on the graph or the IoB displayed.

  2. Is there a way to change which predictive lines are displayed?

I appreciate any help. Thanks

I have not used Xdrip but I know there are other members who have commented about it.
I want to tag @Thas, @Jim26, and @Dave26 and hope one or more of them can weigh in on your questions.

It is controlled in xdrip by going to “Settings” and then “xdrip predictive Simulations Settings”. Quit a few options you can tweek to personalize the settings for you.
