We have a Dexcom G5 and use Xdrip to read the data directly from the CGM. It has a number of benefits over the OEM provided readers: -no forced replacement times for sensors. -No forced delayed starts on new sensor insertions -predictive algorithms and treatment recommendations. -more integrations into third party systems (like IFTTT) -Opensource community project that keeps evolving much faster than the OEMs

Nightscout is a cloud service to store data reading and treatments. Again its community developed opensource solution which gives you complete ownership over your data. Some of its earlier game changing features are now common in the OEM solutions, but I still like the idea of owning this and it being opensource. Nightscout is a really big help for us managing our son (whos 6) since it makes it really easy to give real time access to his CGM and treatments to anyone anywhere.

Nightscout is also the unofficial hub for the Opensource development in diabetes. They've contributed so much that is now being used by OEMs. Im a big supporter.

just to add to this. There's a similar solution for iOS called Spike, its not in the appstore though https://spike-app.com/

Also check out https://openaps.org/ - its a community developed closed loop solution. Very cool.

This! We have these for my sons teacher (hes T1 and in grade 1). Their pretty bullet proof.

I use Spike on iOS https://spike-app.com/ to get it on my apple watch (it does this by creating new meetings in the calendar) works ok.

Its amazing to me that Pebble can allow real time updates to the watch face and apple severally restricts this feature for third party apps.

Hey - I assume you're using a CGM - Dexcom?

Check out XDrip. Its an opensource community built collector for CGM data. They have a version that runs on Google Wear so your android watch can act as a collector. You can also still use your phone to collect and just have the data appear on your watch.

Nightscout is another good related resource
