Discontinued Diabetes: test the FreeStyle Libre glucose sensors via BLE and NFC (Dexcom ONE/G7 soon, too).
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.
Many people are controlling their insulin pumps via phone and watch apps: https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop
It’s a highly driven community. I’ve seldom seen such a useful and well supported application of modern tech.
It is technically possible to connect the Apple Watch directly to the FreeStyle Libre glucose sensors as demonstrated here: https://github.com/gui-dos/DiaBLE
Unfortunately, in this case you need to pay for a certificate for signing the app, build it yourself and so on
