💉 Nightscout, czyli jak wolne oprogramowanie upraszcza życie diabetykom
Damian @fajfer, działacz ruchu wolnego oprogramowania (@reszka @PLUG_pl @fsfe), opowie o projekcie #Nightscout. Zobaczycie, jak powstaje „sztuczna trzustka” tworzona przez społeczność oraz dlaczego kontrola nad oprogramowaniem jest tu kluczowa.

Menschen mit Diabetes programmieren für sich und für andere Menschen mit Diabetes.
Apps, die so funktionieren, wie wir es brauchen, anstatt so, wie ein Gerätehersteller glaubt, dass es richtig wäre.
Google wird ab September 2026 das freie Programmieren für Android einschränken und die Installation freier Apps verbieten.

My local edit to #nightscout is still working well (no timestamp errors I can see), so today I:
• exported #dexcom #CGM entries & #tconnectsync treatments to date (20 days)
• wrote a script to:
- check a txt file for the last pull time
- pull everything since & save to a .json in a #linux server directory
- update the txt file w/ new pull time
• created a cron job to run the script every Sat @ 2am
• Mapped the server folder to my windows machine so I can do #DataAnalysis w/ #python / #R
Submitted my first pull request today 🙈
Hopefully I didn't do something dumb, but I was having timestamp issues between #tconnectsync & #nightscout. I'm hoping a little tweak to the eventTimestamp to format it as isoformat() solves the issue. Seems to be doing the trick on my end.
Why... why does the #nightscout web UI not have a way to save preferences? Each time I open it, I have to set the way I want my basal rates displayed (or they don't show), that I want to see basal rates >0.1u rather than >0.5u, and that I don't want any alarms (found this out the hard way on a call the other day!).
Why do I have to do this *every time*?
I have accomplished nothing today I *needed* to do, BUT:
1. I figured out why my #ubuntu server went wonky last night w/ ssh & several #docker containers inaccessible on the LAN. Turns out you shouldn't set ports & then network_mode to auto. Oh & I had configured UFW w/o making a rule to leave those ports open. Ha.
2. I GOT #NIGHTSCOUT TO PULL #DEXCOMSHARE DATA! Now all my #insulin, BGs, carbs, everything is in ONE place! OMFG I am so excited.
#CGM readings still aren’t syncing to #Nightscout via #tconnectsync, so that may be a dead end.
As an alternative I tried to set up #dexcom2nightscoutsync, but it requires a #dexcom developer account (which I created) and an upgrade to access/use data. I put a request in for the upgrade but haven’t heard jack since then, so that path is in limbo…
I just want my GD data.
I opened the #Nightscout UI this AM & see it updated w/ #tconnectsync data since last night, so it is working albeit w/ delays.
I’d wanted current #CGM data but if the #tconnect #insulin data is delayed I guess it doesn’t matter. Ultimately I want basal & bolus (actual) & BG in one place so I can do some #DataAnalysis, maybe optimize my rates instead of leaning so heavily on #ControlIQ.
Realtime would be great but not needed for this purpose. Still infuriating access is this restricted. #T1D
Attention #Diabetics, #T1D or #T2D or otherwise:
How do you get your #Tandem or other #insulinpump data into #Nightscout?
I’ve been fighting with #tconnectsync for several days now and am about to toss my laptop out the window. Same goes for #dexcom.
It’s *MY* data. It shouldn’t be this hard to gather it.
When running #NightScout in a #docker container on a #linux server, everything seems to be working ok (?)… but the corresponding #tconnectsync container continuously runs/exits/repeats every 5-10 seconds. That seems… excessive.
The logs show everything is fine (I think) but it’s also not uploading data to Nightscout consistently - it shows there are some boluses in the queue but they aren’t appearing in the Nightscout UI or treatments json 🤷♂️
