What apps, tools or gadgets does the world open up to once you have a Nightscout link?
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.

Relationship advice while being T1D...
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!

How I keep myself Alive using Golang
Many years ago, I went a similar route and built a small T1D monitoring stack from scratch for myself. It even pretended to be a Dexcom Follow client so I could get CGM from Dexcom in near real-time. When Dexcom eventually changed their internal APIs and broke my data ingestion, I decided to finally give Nightscout a shot. I've never looked back since.
As I see it, the big advantage of Nightscout is that it is a de facto standard interface, with many integrations already existing. And it's easy to build add-on apps on top of its API. I've built about four myself [0], [1] and there is a big community of users and developers building other things such as [2], [3], [4]...
Even though Nightscout is a little bit messy and requires MongoDB, it's surprisingly easy to self-host. I'm using the stock docker-compose file from the main repo with only minor modifications. I run it on a $6/mo VPS. As an alternative, there are two or three hosted Nightscout services costing little more than that.
I highly recommend you to consider going this "standard" Nightscout route because it can save you work (and worries) in the future, and you get to connect with the community around it. In my experience, going all alone from the start was not worth it.
