@BynumLady So sorry to hear about your niece’s recent diagnosis. We have a very active Nightscout community at the ‘CGM in the Cloud’ Facebook group that can help setup multiple Nightscout sites. Sadly, since it’s inception in 2014, many families have had 2-3 more T1D diagnosis.
@JosieClarkson8@EASDnews .@cwdiabetes is a great example of an Org that not only does menu planning right with all carb counts, but also gluten free options, it’s a *crazy* amount of hard work by a dedicated staff that ends up becoming part of the draw to the conferences that they host.
BUT! We should also consider the benefits of reducing burden on #PWD. Even holding TIR steady in the 70-80% range while reducing or removing the #Onus2Bolus is a win.

Great thanks to @Tims_Pants for his N=1 experiment, the results may foreshadow problems to come with insurance companies switching to newer, lower cost, lower accuracy sensors… a CGM is a CGM…right?
And secondly, which could you safely use in an Open Source #WeAreNotWaiting automated insulin delivery device?
I wouldn't be comfortable with some of these.
