Interesting spectrometer data coming from my Radiacode 103 from last night's solar storm. There was anecdotal evidence of 3 to 4 visible auroral visible waves in New Zealand, upon review of some of spectra data , there are noticable notches. #radiacode
OS AID got a B rating in the ADA Journals for Recommended standards of care in 2025. ๐
To everyone that has had a part to play in making that happen, thank you!
Iโm looking for 20 people with Android phones and EPI (same as PEI: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) to help test PERT Pilot for Android!
How you can help test ๐๐ผ
We flirted with G5 storm conditions earlier with the precursor, but now the main event is here. We're inside the core of the #solarstorm and entering G5-level territory again. This time to stay. It would not surprise me to see G5 conditions for the next 6+ hours. Expect sporadic #GPS signal reception issues, HF/VHF #radio disruptions, deep into to mid-latitudes, plus visible #aurora down to low-latitudes over the next 6-12 hours!
X7.1-flare now! Region 3842 becomes an X-flare player, firing a R3 #RadioBlackout. A #solarstorm may be launching as well (it's too early to tell yet). If so, it will be Earth-directed. Expect HF #radio & #GPS issues in the Western Hemisphere, Australia & Asian Pacific over next hour (see colored regions in map). #HurricaneHelene
@TamithaSkov Go to Night Mode in the Camera App, leave your phone still and the camera should change from a moon icon ๐ to a star โจ icon and that's when you tap the shutter button.
People with Type 1 Diabetes don't need bloods or any special conditions to get a funded AID Pump and CGM system from October 1st. This is absolutely amazing. Reducing the barriers to entry is key to getting widespread better health outcomes. ๐
AID Systems and CGM will be funded in New Zealand from October 1, 2024.
Thank you to everyone in the Diabetes community who has helped push for this change.

This moment I will never forget.
Was in complete awe at what I was seeing with my naked eye. Red ambiance, with huge pillars of whitish pink advancing at a phenomenal pace, the landscape getting enveloped in light.

Confirmed! We have #aurora in South Florida during this ongoing G5-level #solarstorm. Conditions like these will continue as the magnetic field of this storm continues to remain southward. Thanks for reporting!

Xdrip Nightly has this awesome new test feature for people with #diabetes
Texts with your location can now be sent with your location if you don't respond to your glucose alarms.
Real life features made by people with diabetes.
If you have #type1 diabetes. I encourage you to consider adding the details into the emergency contact details so your phone can speak on your behalf if you are not able to for any reason.
Example of what it looks like on my phone, along with a list of emergency contacts.
How about a universal system, that allows us to verify that we have 'X lifelong condition' which entitles us to get 'x product/drug' depending on usage/dosage and set an expiry if dosage/dependant and non-trust based. Surely this should be possible now.....
Quick question to all people with #diabetes Does your country you live in allow you to get supplies to fulfill everyday life without the use of a script? (Insulin, test strips needles, pump supplies etc).
Just to clarify, A script i believe is needed for the likes of insulin, but the script should be life long.
A person with Diabetes isn't going to not need insulin/supplies going forward. Dosage of insulin is always up to the person giving it and is based on trust, as it is now.
