Loop VS xdripswift

it exists now (i use my iphone for DIY loop with dexcom G6 and omnipod dash) but you need to learn how to build the app yourself, apple will not allow something like this on the appstore. It's really great when you can get it to work https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop

I use the G7 and OmniPod together with Loop. It's great!

Heh -- Apple Watch + Loop (https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop) handles all my insulin dosing, so technically definitely a killer app that I can't live w/out.

I've turned off all other features/notifications on my Apple Watch, it just does this, and it's the most valuable product I use (since I no longer have to pull out an insulin pump in a meeting, look at some other screen to see glucose values, etc etc etc).

I am a person with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Knowing certain up-to-date data about my body is essential for a tight schedule of multiple daily precise treatments. Hence my opinion on the question is, of course, biased. I consider myself a T1D Cyborg, as parts of my body functions have been replaced through technology. I wear a blood glucose sensor and an insulin pump 24/7. I let an algorithm on my phone decide whether to administer a hormone that could be lethal if incorrectly dosed. I benefit from both sensors (in this case, the CGM) and actors (the insulin pump) connected to my body, and being readable and writable through APIs. Regarding my chronic disease, my available human APIs are a blessing to me.

If you can get hold of them the Freestyle Libre 3s do alerts and if you're more technically inclined you can get the Freestyle Libre 2s doing alerts with something like https://github.com/JohanDegraeve/xdripswift (iPhone). There's more options I believe on Android but I'm not familiar with them personally.

My son does something similar. In Vietnam, only the Freestyle Libre 1 is available, so we got the aftermarket MiaoMiao transmitter for it. The transmitter talks to an iPhone running xDripForiOS (https://github.com/JohanDegraeve/xdripswift) which, in turn, pushes the CGM data to nightscout (https://nightscout.github.io). We can then follow that data on nightscout using xdrip on our own phones.

It's been a real life changer. Before I'd have to stay up at night to check his blood a couple of times, but now I no longer need to. We've been able to flatten his curve and keep him in a sane range by adapting his basal rate based on the data. I can see when he is dropping low at school and inform them to correct the situation.

I'm not sure why the author isn't using nightscout data for his complication though. Great article, none the less.

Yeah, dont use that. It is a ripoff/copy/whatever from https://github.com/JohanDegraeve/xdripswift

I've heard of xdrip Swift and Spike. But i have no personal experience with either, so can't say if they're equivalent. There is Sugarmate, which i think will call a phone number, if a ringing phone would wake you. Not exactly what your asking, but a literally LOL setup was what u/rhett342 created, so a Billy Big Mouth Bass would speak his BG readings.

I use an iPhone and https://github.com/JohanDegraeve/xdripswift is the best I’ve found. It also had the awesome feature that it can connect to the libre 2 just using bluetooth so you don’t need to scan anymore, they just get delivered to your phone every 5 mins. If you’re on android I believe there are several good options but I’m not familiar with them myself.

My bad, didn't realize you had the 14day. I did find this https://github.com/JohanDegraeve/xdripswift. I'm no coder but this guy is working on an IOS version. If you figure this out can you let me know?

xDrip for iOS and Spike are not iOS versions of Android's xDrip+. They are their own distinct apps.
