M5_NightscoutMon VS M5_NightscoutMon

a) in my bedroom, a https://github.com/mlukasek/M5_NightscoutMon display

The M5Stack NightscoutMon is handy, if a little DIY. I like it a lot but have had to modify the config file to turn off the speaker. We also use the apps for FitBit, Garmin, and Apple watches.

1) I built a https://github.com/mlukasek/M5_NightscoutMon M5 NightScoutMon. It's a little 2" display that shows my blood sugar. Doesn't work on my work's WIFI network ;-{

I use an M5Stack which follows my Nightscout account. Takes s little bit of setting up to do but you can read more about it here: https://github.com/mlukasek/M5_NightscoutMon

2) Nightscout Monitor. If you setup a nightscout site (nightscout is a diabetes infomation platform), you can put together (and by put together I mean order a piece of hardware, and then run a piece of software on your computer to upgrade it) a little screen called M5_NightscoutMon that will always show your blood sugar in numbers easy enough to see across the room for <$50. Not only does it give you more visibility into your blood sugar, it's an easy way for other people to know how you're doing. It runs off wifi, and I set mine so it will use the wifi at home, work, or the hotspot on my phone. On long road trips I bring it with me in the car!

If the CGM user has an IOS phone, and using XDrip4iO5, you could run this firmware https://github.com/JohanDegraeve/M5_NightscoutMon and set up XDrip4IO5 to relay the info from the CGM to the M5Stack over Bluetooth. That firmware needs to be tweaked a bit to run on the Core2 M5Stack, but will run without changes if you get the cheaper/older M5Stack basic core. https://shop.m5stack.com/collections/m5-controllers/products/esp32-basic-core-iot-development-kit-v2-6
