  Freestyle libre still works on Android 14 beta, but funny enough bluetooth syncing for One Touch meters is broken.

  You’d think the amount of money these companies get for the most common disease in the world, they’d be more competent.

    To be fair, the underlying phone operating systems, are moving target.

    And as a critical medical device, they have to make sure it works in all circumstances for all patients, so somebody doesn’t miss a hypo or hyper alert. Even if they’re running ancient Android

      I think you’re mistaken, because the app that’s broken, is One Touch, which just syncs your results to your phone, to allow your doctor to view them. It doesn’t notify you of highs or lows.

      The freestyle libre 2/3 do, and they aren’t broken on Android 14.

      So it’s just straight up incompetence.

    I’d expect the phone manufacturers to create stable APIs for these use cases, instead of sabotaging the developes. I’m not even a diabetic, but the way android is fighting against the background processes makes the phone less and less usable with every update.
