Nightscout is a free and open-source project for accessing and working with continuous glucose monitor data.[1] Nightscout aims to give users access to their real time blood sugar data by putting this data in the cloud computing. In addition to browser-based data visualization, Nightscout can also be used to review data from a phone or smartwatch, or monitor children with Diabetes mellitus type 1 remotely.
History
The Nightscout Project traces its origin to February 2013, when the parents of a 4-year-old boy newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes began using a continuous glucose monitoring system. This data was inaccessible to the parents when the child was at school – there was no commercially available way to access the data in real time. The boy's father, a software engineer, developed software to access and transfer CGM data to cloud computing infrastructure, enabling the parents to access the CGM data remotely.[2]
