Rather mission critical I reckon. A CPAP machine was a life changer for me - long term untreated sleep apnea causes heart and other life issues. During my sleep study I logged about at the worst 48 incidents per minute of stopping to breath (kind of difficult to do that when you tongue rolls back into your airway)

My sleep study revealed 90.7 events per hour (30 is considered severe) and 55% blood oxygen level. I've been using a CPAP machine for about 2 months now, but still feeling pretty tired in general. Still waiting for the life changing effects.

Maybe you need a BIPAP.

He has that. The problem is not the CGM, it's everything around that (and the fact that both Freestyle Libre, and Dexcom, don't readily expose the data for the DIY types to do anything with). While the Dexcom is "better" (than Freestyle Libre) in my opinion because the recent revision can talk directly to your phone continuously (the Libre only sends alerts, getting data requires you tapping phone to arm)... your ins…

Not sure exactly what you mean by "getting data" but recent versions of both Libre and Dexcom have apps where you can view graphs of data on your phone with no tapping step.

"Getting data" would mean automated exports into a format that you can actually do some processing on. Not just viewing graphs on a screen.

Nice post ! I use a another set of tools to manage my type 1 and the one of my son.

Monitoring glucose:

Sensor libre 2 and xdrip mobile app using the bluetooth option where xdrip + oop2 reads values in 1min intervals. ( no miaomiao needed ) Values are pushed to nightscout

I got 2 nightscout instances: one for my self one for my son deployed to heroku.

Alarms are pushed to my phone for my sons low and high bloodsugar using pushover.

Heroku alarms are configured if service goes down.

Database: mongo atlas highly available.

We both use omnipod dash with android aps app.

A) helps with carb to insulin calc and carb counting, insuline on board.

B) closed loop, that auto corrects high glucose and stops insulin when too low

C) different profiles for things like "recently done sports" vs "didnt do much excerise in the last days"

D) aps app allows to track extra insuline injected by pen

Go is probably your choice, it was stupid fast to pick up. It’s a fun language too

Is there a good batteries-included framework for Go, like Ruby on Rails or Django?

The OP is using Encore (https://github.com/encoredev/encore) for the project described, it's pretty much what you are asking for.

Mildly related, I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep (OSA) apnea 6 months ago, and when sleeping I have to use a machine that blows air with a set pressure so it 'counters' the obstruction (a CPAP machine). Not mission critical like type 1 diabetes, but those machines log a lot more than I expected. While reading this I wondered if someone has geeked something for similar for OSA, maybe for monitoring purposes or m…

https://home.sleephq.com/ does a good job of processing this data if they support your machine.

Interesting, first time I've had a website break on Firefox like this. The CSS & JS are being blocked for tracking on Unbounce.

The worst thing about ai art is having it inflicted on me at the beginning of every medium article now.

It looks ugly and out of place.

The article is very good and involves several things I'm passionate about including go and medical devices, I just wish software engineers realized how bad the Dalle3 stuff looks.

That's an amazing blogpost for techies! Well written!

On the diet side, I'm living with almost no carbs for 2 years and over time my ability to turn fat into energy changed significantly, to the point I can do any activity I was doing before as long as I keep in check my sodium and potassium intake.

You can find people doing well with Type 1 and carnivore and you can find people telling you your insulin resistance will worsen.

I'd experiment regardless of what you find on the internet or the doctor tells you.

I spent two years of hell (not diabetes though, frequent diarrhea, stomach ulcers, blood in stool) following doctors indications and ended up with non sensical prescriptions and a low fat diet as a recommendation, when a high fat diet fixed all the symptoms in a week.
