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 to remotely monitor CGM data for individuals with type 1 diabetes.
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.[2] 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. The father shared his accomplishment on Twitter and, after others expressed interest, began to privately share the source code. This sparked a community of developers, who decided to make the source code open source, as well as a website[3] and Facebook group[4] to support new users.
