Does a CGM glucose monitoring sensor count? I get the values real time to my android watch and remote InfluxDB for later analysis.
- ollysb 9y agoI've been considering doing something like this, which CGM do you use and how do get the numbers out? Are you able to automate sending them into InfluxDB?
- pimeys 9y agoDexcom G4 with self-soldered chip to translate the transmitter signal to Bluetooth. Xdrip plus in my phone with my own extension for Influx. All real time and automatic. Nightscout's Xdrip repo should have the Influx extension.
- edejong 9y agoWhat time-series graphing tools do you use? Grafana? R with influxdbr?
- pimeys 9y agoGrafana, and wrote an extension for xDrip plus to support InfluxDB.
- edejong 9y agoInteresting project. I am not bio-hacked, except for a Pebble watch with HR / movement sensors which I send to InfluxDB. I use Grafana, but for some graphs (especially when I want to see weekly trends), I use R + influxdbr. Here is a screenshot of my heart-rate of the last three months (1 minute interval + lowess smoothing to remove outliers): http://imgur.com/x3ERdPc http://imgur.com/x3ERdPc
- pimeys 9y agoIt has probably saved me from getting blind or losing a leg in the next 20 years. From 8.5% A1c to 6.5% and below. Together with the pump I see my glucose all the time, it wakes me up at night if needed and I can eat and live however I like with perfect glucose values. Every single type 1 diabetic should have the possibility to have one of these systems. I'll post pictures later when I get home...
- pimeys 9y agoAs I promised, here's a picture how my Grafana diabetes dashboard looks like: http://imgur.com/1YPcOrZ http://imgur.com/1YPcOrZ As you can see I dipped down the low alert while walking home, so my watch alerted me early enough so I could eat some candy.
- edejong 9y agoThat's an amazing project. You probably agree that it's extremely important that we own and control our own data and make it easy through OSS to manipulate and enhance it.
- pimeys 9y agoThat's correct. Although here in Germany there are strict regulations for storing health data, so using the commercial solutions provided by the CGM would be feasible. The open source software is just so much better. If any other diabetic programmers are reading this, I found the best way to get a control from this very complex disease is to utilize same methods I use when writing software and analyzing services.
- derekja 9y agoHi, My BF is T1D and has an Animas Vibe with the integrated Dexcom G4. I see from an older thread that this is the setup you are using. Can you point me toward any hacking information on this? On the OpenAPS flowchart for the Vibe it merely says to call Animas and advocate for the addition of temp basal commands. If we cannot get him to a full closed loop on this pump, even an open loop system would be an interesting place to start. Thanks for any pointers!
- thinbeige 9y agoYou have this as an implant? Link please...
- pimeys 9y agoI didn't know is the Dexcom G4 actually an implant, because it comes out from your skin. Devices like this are pretty common with diabetics nowadays
- liamzebedee 9y agoI was assuming OP was referring to custom-built projects. I too have a CGM (thanks to the recent Australian Federal subsidy) - a massive shame the technology isn't more open.
- pimeys 9y agoIf using the Dexcom G4, you need to solder one of these to use it with xdrip https://xdripkit.co.uk/ https://xdripkit.co.uk/ G5 works directly with the software because the transmitter speaks Bluetooth.
